Item To determine the psychometric properties of the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) in a sample of adult rural dwellers in Southwestern Nigeria(2020) Lawal, F.BThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 395 adults attending dental outreach programs in Igboora, Nigeria. A translated interviewer administered questionnaire comprising socio demographic characteristics, GOHAI questions, self-rating of oral health and satisfaction with dental appearance was used to obtain data. Oral examination was also performed. The data obtained was analyzed for reliability and validity of GOHAI using SPSS and p value was set at <0.05%. The GOHAI score of respondents ranged from 5 to 60. Many 283 (71.6%) reported at least an impact of oral condition on quality of life (OHRQoL). The most reported impairment was the use of medication to relieve pain (221, 55.9%). GOHAI demonstrated excellent internal consistency with a Cronbach alpha of 0.97. Principal component analysis resulted in extraction of one factor; Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure was 0.96 and Bartlett’s test was significant (p<0.001). GOHAI was able to discriminate between those with periodontal treatment needs (p<0.001), missing teeth (p<0.001) or decayed teeth (p=0.001) and those without those oral findings. Higher GOHAI scores (less impact on OHRQoL) correlated negatively with poor selfrating of oral health (rs = -0.72, p<0.001) and dissatisfaction with dental appearance (rs = -0.70, p<0.001). More males (p=0.012) and divorced respondents (p=0.016) reported impacts on OHRQoL than others. GOHAI has acceptable psychometric properties and validity among underserved adults living in a rural Nigerian communityItem Dentine hypersensitivity is a common presentation of cause of pain and or discomfort with mastication which has been shown to affect the quality of life of the affected individual. It is also a common cause of presentation at the dental clinics. However, the cause, diagnosis and possible management to give relief can be a dilemma for the clinician who at times may wonder if the sensation the individual is presenting with, is real or imagined. The purpose of this paper was to review dentine hypersensitivity in view of causes, diagnosis and management. Articles used were found by searching the keywords: dentine hypersensitivity, tooth wear lesions, desensitization, gingival recession, treatment of hypersensitivity. There are a variety of causes of dentine hypersensitivity with a variety of ways to manage and provide adequate treatment, but the condition must be well understood. Many options of treatment are now available to eliminate the pain from dentine hypersensitivity and thus improving the quality of life of these patients because the sensitivity they experience is real(2016) Gbadebo, S.O.; Lawal, F.B; Arowojolu, M.ODentine hypersensitivity is a common presentation of cause of pain and or discomfort with mastication which has been shown to affect the quality of life of the affected individual.
