Brief summary
In this study, the quality of life of patients with stage 3 grade C periodontitis who underwent surgical and non-surgical periodontal treatments was evaluated. Patients were compared based on their quality of life using OHIP-14 and OHRQoL-UK questionnaires, as well as a VAS scale, against those who did not receive periodontal treatment, those who received only phase 1 treatment one month prior, and those who underwent periodontal surgical treatment three months prior.
Detailed description
Currently, the most commonly used reliable scales to measure oral health-related quality of life are the OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile) and OHRQoL-UK questionnaires. Fifty patients with stage 3 and grade c whose clinical periodontal records (PI, GI, PD and BOP) were obtained were included in the study. OHRQoL-UK, OHIP-14 questionnaires and VAS were applied at the first session (T1). Initial periodontal treatment (scaling, polishing and oral hygiene education) was performed, and non-surgical periodontal treatment (root surface debridement under local anesthesia) was performed in the next session. Three to four weeks after this treatment, patients were recalled for follow-up and all clinical indices and questionnaires were repeated (T2). After re-evaluation, the patients were divided into a surgical group (23 patients) and a non-surgical group (27 patients). Open flap debridement was performed in areas requiring surgery (radiologic bone loss and SCD\>5mm). Patients were recalled 12-14 weeks after surgery and all indices and questionnaires were repeated (T3).

Intervention model description
According to full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL),bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) were obtained from 50 systemically healthy individuals with periodontitis and after the initial treatment repeat measurements were taken at the control session to evaluate participation in the surgical treatment group.
