Abstract

In light of its relative uniqueness, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) has gained importance in recent years. This has impacted research in the fields of dentistry and medical practice. OHRQoL encompasses an individual's subjective evaluation of their oral health, self-esteem, functional emotional well-being, and expectations and satisfaction with care. It is highly valuable in clinical and research settings. The factors that support well-being and quality of life are closely linked to OHRQoL. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2003, it is often a crucial component of overall oral healthcare. This article presents a theoretical model of oral health and explains the role of OHRQoL. The significance of OHRQoL for both patients and healthcare providers is being recognized by community dental schools. Consequently, health strategies and oral health alternatives are also being given attention.
