Abstract:

Background: Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) provides a subjective dimension to oral health assessment that complements clinical indices. Residential schoolchildren represent a unique population in whom the impact of oral diseases on daily functioning has not been well studied. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 520 children aged 12-14 years from 10 residential schools in Bangalore, selected through stratified random sampling. Oral examinations were carried out using the WHO Oral Health Assessment Form (2013). The Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (Child-OIDP) index was administered through structured interviews. Descriptive statistics and inferential tests (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square) were applied, with significance set at p<0.05. Results: Among participants, 50% were 12 years, 18.1% were 13 years, and 30% were 14 years of age. Commonly reported oral problems included sensitive teeth (43.7%), gum bleeding (41%), and dental caries (35.8%). The mean DMFT score was 1.01, mean CPI score was 1.84, and mean DAI score was 13.8. The overall mean Child-OIDP score was 7.62, with no gender difference. Caries, gingival bleeding, toothache, and malocclusion significantly impacted daily performances such as eating, cleaning teeth, sleeping, smiling, and social interactions (p<0.05). Conclusion: Oral health significantly influences the quality of life of residential schoolchildren. Routine assessment of OHRQoL should be incorporated into oral health needs assessments and school dental programs.
