Objective of the present study was to investigate relationship between oral health-related quality of life using Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) scale and specific clinical dental measures. A cross sectional descriptive survey was conducted among 800 students. Oral health status and impacts were assessed using WHO guidelines and OIDP index respectively. Chi square test and multiple logistic regressions were employed for statistical analysis. Participants with caries were significantly (p⩽0.05) more likely to have an impact on cleaning (OR=2.487) and sleeping and relaxing (OR=8.996). Similarly participants with oral mucosal conditions were more likely to have an impact on eating (OR=3.97), cleaning (OR=2.966) and physical activities (OR=11.190). Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) impacted on cleaning (OR=2.134), emotional stability (OR=3.957) and social contact (OR=3.21). OIDP Index showed acceptable psychometric properties in the context of an oral health survey. Subjects presented a strong and consistent relationship between dental status and perceived impacts.
本研究的目的是使用日常表现口腔影响（OIDP）量表调查口腔健康相关生活质量与特定临床牙科测量指标之间的关系。对800名学生进行了横断面描述性调查。分别使用世界卫生组织指南和OIDP指数评估口腔健康状况和影响。采用卡方检验和多元逻辑回归进行统计分析。患龋参与者对清洁（比值比=2.487）、睡眠和放松（比值比=8.996）产生影响的可能性显著更高（p⩽0.05）。同样，患有口腔黏膜疾病的参与者对进食（比值比=3.97）、清洁（比值比=2.966）和体育活动（比值比=11.190）产生影响的可能性更高。牙科美学指数（DAI）对清洁（比值比=2.134）、情绪稳定性（比值比=3.957）和社交接触（比值比=3.21）产生影响。在口腔健康调查中，OIDP指数显示出可接受的心理测量特性。受试者的牙齿状况与感知到的影响之间呈现出强烈且一致的关系。
