Résumé

Introduction : Le but de cette étude était d’étudier la relation entre l’impact dentaire sur la vie quotidienne, la satisfaction des patients vis-à-vis de leur dentition et leur type de personnalité.
Matériel et méthodes : Cinquante-deux patients (22 hommes et 30 femmes ; âge moyen 22,7 ± 5,5 ans) ont été recrutés pour cette étude. Un questionnaire « Impact dentaire sur la vie quotidienne » a été utilisé pour évaluer la satisfaction des patients vis-à-vis de leur dentition et les impacts de celle-ci sur leur vie quotidienne. L’inventaire des cinq grands facteurs (NEO-FFI) a été utilisé pour évaluer les profils de personnalité.
Résultats : La dentition a un impact mesurable sur la vie quotidienne telle que l’apparence, les niveaux de douleur, le confort oral, la performance générale et la capacité d’alimentation (p < 0,001). Les patients plus âgés étaient plus globalement satisfaits (p = 0,014), plus satisfaits de l’apparence (p = 0,034), et moins satisfaits de la performance générale (p = 0,024). Les patients plus âgés avaient des scores plus élevés à l’item « conscience » (p = 0,001) et plus faibles à l’item « ouverture » (0,018). Les femmes étaient plus satisfaites sur leur capacité à manger (p < 0,001). Des corrélations significatives ont été établies entre le névrosisme et le score total de DIDL (p = 0,006). L’extraversion avait des corrélations significatives avec la satisfaction globale (p < 0,001) de même que la satisfaction de l’apparence (p = 0,047) avec le confort bucco-dentaire (p = 0,008). Des corrélations significatives ont également été établies entre l’ouverture et la satisfaction de la performance générale (p < 0,001) entre l’agréabilité et la satisfaction de manger (p = 0,001) et entre la conscience et la satisfaction globale (p = 0,001), satisfaits vis-à-vis de la douleur (p = 0,004) et de satisfaction du confort bucco-dentaire (p = 0,043).
Conclusions : L’état de la cavité buccale pourrait avoir une incidence sur la satisfaction vis-à-vis de la dentition et sur la vie quotidienne des patients. La satisfaction des patients vis-à-vis de leur dentition a des répercussions définitives sur la perception de la vie quotidienne et dentaire. Les profils de personnalité (névrosisme, extraversion, ouverture ; agréabilité et conscience) peuvent influencer la perception dentaire, jouer un rôle important dans la perception de satisfaction vis-à-vis de sa dentition et aider à la prévision des impacts dentaires sur la vie quotidienne. La satisfaction des patients et les profils psychologiques doivent être pris en compte lors de la mise en place d’un plan de traitement afin de faire accepter au mieux aux patients le traitement proposé.

Abstract
Relationship between dental impacts on daily living, satisfaction with the dentition and personality profiles among a Palestinian population

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dental impacts on patients’ daily living, satisfaction with the dentition and personality profiles.
Materials and methods: Fifty-two patients (22 males and 30 females; mean age 22.7 ± 5.5 years) were recruited for this study. A « Dental Impact on Daily Living » (DIDL) questionnaire was used to assess patients’ satisfaction with their dentition and impacts on daily living. The NEO Five Factor inventory (NEO-FFI) was used to assess personality profiles.
Results: The dentition had measurable impacts on daily living as well as satisfaction with appearance, pain levels, oral comfort, general performance, and eating capability (p < 0.001). Older patients were more totally satisfied (p = 0.014), more satisfied with appearance (p = 0.034), and less satisfied with general performance (p = 0.024). Older patients had higher Conscientiousness scores (p = 0.001) and lower Openness scores (0.018). Females were more satisfied with eating (p < 0.001). Significant correlations were established between neuroticism and total DIDL scores (p = 0.006). Extraversion had significant correlations with total satisfaction (p < 0.001) as well as satisfaction with appearance (p=0.047) and oral comfort (p = 0.008). Significant correlations were also established between open-ness and satisfaction with general performance (p < 0.001), between Agreeableness and satisfaction with eating (p=0.001), and between Conscientiousness and total satisfaction (p = 0.001), satisfaction with pain (p=0.004), and satisfaction with oral comfort (p = 0.043).
Conclusions: The status of the oral cavity might impact on patients’ daily living and satisfaction with the dentition. Patients’ satisfaction with their dentition has definitive impacts on daily living and dental perceptions. Personality profiles (neuroticism; extraversion; openness; Agreeableness and conscientiousness) may influence dental perceptions; play a significant role in shaping satisfaction with dentition, and help with prediction of dental impacts on daily living. Patient satisfaction and psychological profiles should be considered when formulating a treatment plan in order to achieve patient acceptance of the offered treatment.
