Multidimensional Assessment of Preoperative Anxiety and Quality of Life on Postoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Free Gingival Graft Surgery (FGG-QoL)

NCT07258472 NA COMPLETED

This study investigates the effect of free gingival graft (FGG) surgery on patients' oral health-related quality of life (QoL) during the first postoperative month and evaluates the role of preoperative anxiety on postoperative QoL outcomes. Thirty-six participants indicated for FGG surgery due to insufficient keratinized gingiva were included. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was administered preoperatively, daily during the first postoperative week, and at one month. Preoperative anxiety levels were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and STAI-T). Postoperative pain was evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for seven days. Demographic and lifestyle variables, including age, gender, educational status, marital status, and smoking status, were recorded. Clinical parameters such as plaque and gingival indices and keratinized tissue width were measured preoperatively and one month postoperatively. Intraoperative surgical data, including graft vertical height, horizontal width, thickness, and recipient site dimensions, were documented. Statistical analysis will determine the relationship between preoperative anxiety and postoperative QoL, as well as the influence of surgical and demographic factors on patient-reported outcomes.

Primary outcomes

• Change in Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) Total Score — Baseline, Day 1-7, and 1 month after surgery
  Oral health-related quality of life will be evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), as derived and validated by Slade (1997, Community Dent Oral Epidemiol, 25: 284-90). Each of the 14 items is scored on a 0-5 scale (0 = never, 5 = very often), producing a total score ranging from 0 to 70. Higher scores indicate poorer oral health-related quality of life. Changes in total OHIP-14 scores will be recorded from baseline to postoperative Day 1-7 and 1 month. Unit of Measure: Score (0-70)
• Correlation Between Preoperative Anxiety Levels (STAI-S and STAI-T) and Postoperative OHIP-14 Score Changes — Baseline and 1 month after surgery
  Correlation between changes in Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) scores and preoperative anxiety levels will be evaluated using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S for state anxiety and STAI-T for trait anxiety). Each STAI subscale ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety. Correlation analysis (Pearson's r or Spearman's ρ) will be performed to determine whether baseline anxiety levels are associated with postoperative changes in OHIP-14 total scores. Unit of Measure: Correlation coefficient (r)
