Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) using the oral impact on daily performance (OIDP) instrument among secondary school teachers in India is of interest. Hence, a cross-sectional survey of 1600 teachers aged 24-57 participated in interviews and oral health examinations. About 59.5% reported oral health issues affecting daily activities, with eating and sleeping most impacted. The OIDP showed high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.87) and significant validity (p<0.05). Thus, OIDP is a reliable tool for evaluating OHRQoL in this population.
印度中学教师使用日常表现口腔影响（OIDP）工具的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）备受关注。因此，对1600名年龄在24至57岁的教师进行了横断面调查，这些教师参与了访谈和口腔健康检查。约59.5%的教师报告口腔健康问题影响日常活动，其中饮食和睡眠受影响最大。OIDP显示出高可靠性（克朗巴哈系数α = 0.87）和显著有效性（p<0.05）。因此，OIDP是评估该人群OHRQoL的可靠工具。
