Results: There was positive correlation between oral health-related quality of life and self-care behavior (r=.61, p<.001), negative correlations among halitosis (r=-.34, p<.001), gingival index (r=-.31, p=.001) and plaque index (r=-.32, p=.001). Self-care behavior (β=.46, p<.001), subjective health status (good) (β=.23, p=.002), halitosis (β=-.16, p=.030), and plaque index (β=-.15, p=.041) explained 46.0% of the variance in the oral health-related quality of life.
