Objective: The aim of this study is to study the quality of life related to oral health (OHRQoL) of the periodic dental visitors.
Methods: Among the 170 patients who received regular oral health care services for the promotion and the maintenance of oral health, the relationship between subjective perception, oral symptoms, and OHIP-14 was investigated in 143 patients except removable partial denture wearers and patients under 40 years of age.
Results: The fit of the study model was 0.35 (acceptance criterion or recommendation criterion ＞0.36). The effect size of subjective oral health perception on the path from subjective symptoms to the score of OHIP-14 was approximately 30%. The interaction effect of subjective perception and oral symptoms on quality of life was as small as 0.02.
Conclusion: It is necessary to analyze the factors affecting the quality of life related to oral health of the subjects who have periodical oral care services using the conceptual theory of oral health quality of life measurement. In addition, it is necessary to change the perception so that the oral health education can be implemented more positively in patient education and counseling.
