Perception of the postoperative course of periodontal surgery: OHIP-14 scale and VAS scale evaluation
pain
REGRESSION
A mean OHIP-14 total score of 9.87±8.5 (range 0–42) was calculated in the study population of 155 patients who underwent periodontal surgery. Multilevel mixed logistic regression analysis revealed a significant influence of female sex (Multilevel mixed logistic regression exploring factors associated with OHIP-14 scoreMultiple linear logistic regression after stepwise selection for factors associated with higher OHIP-14 scoreMean values of 7 sub-domains of the OHIP-14 scale have been calculated (Supplementary information Table The postoperative intensity of pain has been evaluated using VAS scale. A mean VAS score of 2.96±2.39 (range 0–9) was calculated in the study population of 155 patients who underwent periodontal surgery. Multilevel mixed logistic regression analysis revealed the influence of vertical releasing incisions (The linear regression model showed a significant relationship between higher values of OHIP-14 and VAS scores (Relationship between OHIP-14 scale and VAS scaleLinear regression model did not show a significant relationship between post-surgical analgesic dosage (expressed as the cumulative number of NSAID tablets assumed after periodontal surgery) and OHIP-14 (
