Periodontal Health and Quality of Life in Psoriasis Patients

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, and oral health. We will assess the periodontal (gum) condition of patients with psoriasis and examine how it affects their quality of life. A group of psoriasis patients and a control group without psoriasis will undergo oral examinations and complete a short questionnaire. The goal is to better understand whether psoriasis has an impact on gum health and daily well-being.

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of oral health-related quality of life in psoriasis patients

    Time frame: Baseline

    The Turkish version of the OHIP-14 questionnaire was administered through face-to-face interviews by a single investigator (G.U.), who was blinded to the periodontal status of the participants. The OHIP-14 consists of seven subscales, each including two items: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. Participants rated the frequency of negative experiences on a five-point Likert scale (0 = never, 1 = rarely, 2 = occasionally, 3 = quite often, 4 = very often). The total score ranges from 0 to 56, with higher scores reflecting a greater negative impact on oral health-related quality of life

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of dermatology-specific quality of life in psoriasis patients

    Time frame: Baseline

    Psoriasis Quality of Life Questionnaire (PQLQ) measures functional limitation, physical discomfort, psychological distress, social maladjustment, and disability. Each item was scored on a Likert-type scale, with higher scores reflecting a greater impact on daily life.
