Analysis of the Gradient Differences in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) among Patients with Gingivitis and Periodontitis after Undergoing Phase I Treatment

Abstract
Gingivitis and periodontitis affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) differently, but post-treatment gradient differences are unclear. This analysis proposes disease severity, treatment response, and psychosocial adaptation as key mechanisms. Gingivitis, causing reversible inflammation, disrupts short-term comfort, while periodontitis, with structural damage, leads to prolonged functional and psychosocial burdens. After Phase I therapy, gingivitis patients improve rapidly, whereas periodontitis patients face slower recovery due to residual deficits and psychological adaptation. Biological thresholds (e.g., tissue repair) and subjective symptom valuation (e.g., pain tolerance) drive these gradients. Tailoring interventions to biological and perceptual factors may optimize outcomes. Further research should validate this framework for personalized care.
