How the Hindi OHIP questionnaire detects quality-of-life changes after periodontal treatment

Evaluation of Responsiveness of Hindi Version of Oral Health Impact Profile for Periodontitis (OHIP-P-HIN)

NA · Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences Rohtak · NCT07304596

This project will see if the Hindi version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-P-HIN) can detect meaningful quality-of-life changes in adults with periodontitis after nonsurgical periodontal therapy.

What this trial studies

Adults with confirmed periodontitis who can complete questionnaires will receive nonsurgical periodontal therapy and complete the Hindi OHIP before and after treatment. The study will estimate the Minimal Important Difference (MID) of the OHIP-P-HIN using two distribution-based metrics (standardized effect size and standardized response mean) and an anchor-based approach using a global transition scale. Distribution-based methods will compare mean change scores to baseline variability, while the anchor links score changes to patients' own rating of change. Results will determine how responsive the Hindi OHIP is to patient-reported changes following periodontal care.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18 or older with a confirmed diagnosis of periodontitis who can independently understand and complete questionnaires and who do not have excluded conditions are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients with systemic diseases such as diabetes or AIDS, those who are pregnant, have bleeding disorders, require prophylactic antibiotics, or who received recent non-surgical periodontal therapy are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, clinicians and researchers will have a validated Hindi tool to measure patient-reported oral-health improvements after periodontal treatment.

How similar studies have performed: Similar OHIP translations and MID estimation methods using distribution- and anchor-based approaches have been used successfully in other languages, though the Hindi-specific responsiveness is less documented.
