Summary

The presence of periodontal diseases in patients has been associated to a worsened quality of life overall. Many different indices have been proposed over time in order to evaluate patient's centred outcomes. In particular, the most thorough questionnaire proposed so far is the Oral Health Impact Profile 49 (OHIP-49), which is composed of 49 questions. Despite its validity being unquestionable, OHIP-49 was found to be too time-consuming for the clinical scenario and, therefore, its shortened 14-question version has been proposed. A more in-depth knowledge of how these parameters change before and after periodontal treatment could enable clinicians to tailor the treatment plan according to the patients' needs.
