Abstract:
Objective To study the impact of the number of functional natural teeth (FNT) and different oral restoration behaviors on well-being of the elderly.Methods The elderly residents of Guangzhou Haizhu District were acted as respondent,WHO-5 Scale was the measurement instrument of well-being.Analysis of covariance was used to correct confounding factors and analyze the corrected data,and then it was compared by LSD Test.Resuits (1) The results of analysis of covariance showed that,average scores on WHO-5 Scale were not all the same among different groups which were divided by different number of FNT or different oral restoration behaviors (Respectively:F=21.547,P＜0.001 ; F=141.219,P＜0.001).(2) The results of LSD Test showed that,although there were no statistical differences in corrected average scores between group with 5-9 FNT and group with 10-14 FNT (LSD-t=-0.536,P=0.593),differences had statistical senses between other groups(P＜0.01).All scores were ordered from the least to the most number of FNT,and they were (11.786±5.270),(15.724±4.036),(15.934±3.957),(18.941±2.616) and (23.390±6.951) respectively.It also showed that,there were no statistical differences in corrected average scores between the perfect oral restoration behavior group,the imperfect oral restoration behavior group and the no oral restoration behavior group(respectively:(23.056±4.772),(20.647±2.660),(14.872±7.313) ; P＜0.01).Statistical differences were also found in corrected average scores between the imperfect oral restoration behavior group and the abnormal oral restoration behavior group (respectively:(20.647 ±2.660),(14.565±2.914);LSD-t=13.108,P＜0.01).No statistical differences were found in corrected average scores between the no oral restoration behavior group and the abnormal oral restoration behavior group(respectively:(14.872±7.313),(14.565±2.914) ; LSD-t=-0.696,P＜0.01).The differences in corrected average scores between the needless oral restoration behavior group and the perfect oral restoration behavior group also showed no statistical significance (respectively:(22.848± 8.068),(23.056± 4.772) ; LSD-t =-0.340,P =0.734).Conclusion Well-being of the elderly may be associated with number of FNT and oral restoration behaviors.
