Abstract

 Background and Objective: Oral and dental health are crucial for nutrition intake, speech, and facial aesthetics. They also significantly influence individuals' physical, social, and psychological activities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the Dental Caries Index (DMFT) and oral health-related quality of life. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 61 patients (29 men and 32 women) aged 20-50 years who visited the Gorgan Dental School Clinic, Iran during 2019. The DMFT index, encompassing Decay (D), Missing (M), and Filled (F) teeth, was calculated. Quality of life was assessed using the 36-item DIDL (Dental Impact on Daily Living) questionnaire, which covers five domains: dental appearance and aesthetics, oral comfort, overall oral and dental function, eating limitations, and dental and jaw pain. Scores were categorized into three groups: dissatisfied (below 0), moderately satisfied (0 to 7), and satisfied (above 7). Results: The mean score for oral health-related quality of life was 5. 14±0. 229, indicating a relative level of satisfaction. Pearson's correlation coefficient between DMFT and oral health-related quality of life was-0. 358, suggesting a significant inverse relationship between DMFT and quality of life (P<0. 05). The mean DMFT score ranged from 0 to 28, with a mean of 9. 36, and the most frequent scores were 7, 11, and 13, each accounting for 11. 5% of the sample. The mean decay (D) score was 3. 44, the mean missing (M) score was 1. 98, and the mean filled (F) score was 3. 93, with ranges of 0-12, 0-19, and 0-13, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate an inverse impact of the Dental Caries Index on patients' quality of life. Oral health-related quality of life is a multifaceted construct that affects various aspects such as appearance, oral comfort, and eating limitations, which are critical components of overall quality of life and satisfaction.
