Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life as Measured with the Child-OIDP Index and Oral Health Status in Spanish Adolescents

Abstract

Our aim was to analyze the relationship between OHRQoL (Oral-HealthRelated Quality of Life) assessed by the C-OIDP (Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances) indexand oral health status in 13-15 years old Spanish population. A cross-sectional study was designed in a random sample of 337 adolescents. The C-OIDP and an oral health perception questionnaire were applied. ICDAS II (International Caries Detection and Assessment System) classification was used for assessing caries status, CPI (Community Periodontal Index) for periodontal status and discrepancy in the three planes for occlusal evaluation. Statistical analysis included Mann– Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis and Spearman correlation tests.
