Abstract
Aim: To investigate the relationship between generic and condition-specific (CS) quality of life, general psychological wellbeing and personality in patients with tooth wear. / Materials and methods: Ethical approval was granted (REC:10/H0709/21). Patients aged 18-70 years with tooth wear completed the Oral Impact on Daily Performance (OIDP) quality of life questionnaire, the NEO-FFI Personality questionnaire and the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ). Tooth wear was measured with the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE). / Results: In total, 102 subjects were recruited. Increased BEWE scores were correlated with older age and worse generic and CS-related quality of life. Increased neuroticism was correlated with increased: generic and CS OIDP scores; generic and CS eating scores; CS smiling scores; and CS carrying out major work scores. Increased GHQ scores were positively correlated with increased: generic and CS OIDP scores; generic and CS eating scores; CS speaking scores; generic and CS cleaning scores; generic relaxing scores; generic and CS smiling scores; and generic emotional state scores (p <0.05). Multivariable linear regression analyses showed that increased neuroticism and decreased GHQ both had an independent effect on generic and CS OIDP scores when adjusted for tooth wear severity (p <0.05). / Conclusion: Quality of life perception is complex and was not only affected by worsening levels of tooth wear.
