Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of partial tooth loss and edentulism in the Brazilian elderly.
Fernando Neves Hugo,Juliana Balbinot Hilgert,Maria da Luz Rosário de Sousa,Débora Dias da Silva,Gilberto Alfredo Pucca +4 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that tooth loss and edentulism were complex phenomena, with intricate predisposing, demographic, enabling and need factors playing a role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral status and its association with general quality of life in older independent-living south-Brazilians.
Fernando Neves Hugo,Juliana Balbinot Hilgert,Maria da Luz Rosário de Sousa,Jaime Aparecido Cury +3 more
TL;DR: In the studied population, oral status was associated with the perception of quality of life in general and poorer qol in the physical domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral status and its association with obesity in Southern Brazilian older people
Juliana Balbinot Hilgert,Fernando Neves Hugo,Maria da Luz Rosário de Sousa,Mary Clarisse Bozzetti +3 more
TL;DR: The results show that a poorer oral status, represented by having fewer teeth that were not replaced by dental prostheses, was associated with obesity in Southern Brazil older people, suggesting a close relationship between poor oral status and systemic conditions that may have important clinical implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral health literacy and oral health outcomes in an adult population in Brazil.
TL;DR: Adjusting for age, sex and SES, OHL is related to a risk factor (biofilm) and a consequence of poor oral health (emergency dental visits) and can interfere with the impact of oral diseases on quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of tooth loss related to number and position on oral health quality of life among adults
TL;DR: The analyses showed OHRQoL gradients consistent with the number and position of teeth missing due to oral disease, suggesting that the quantity of teeth lost does not necessarily reflect the impact of tooth mortality on OHRZoL and that future studies should take this into consideration.
