“…So, the first null hypothesis was accepted. In contrast to this study, Bado et al 18 reported the association between OHL and OHRQoL at Brazilian adults. Besides this, Divaris et al investigated that "low" OHL level individuals showed significantly more "Oral Health Related Quality of Life" impacts versus those with higher literacy.…”

“…19 In a previous study Jamieson et al 20 reported a significant inverse interaction between OHL and OHRQoL among American Indians but not among Indigenous Australians between 17-72 yearsold. In our study, participants in different races were not evaluated and in contrast to findings of Divaris et al 19 and Bado et al 18 there was no significant association was found between OHL and OHRQoL.…”

Aim: Oral health literacy (OHL) is an important term that used to determine the individuals skills to make appropriate oral health decisions, to process and understand basic oral health information. OHL is considered as a part of oral health. This study aimed to evaluate the association between OHL, Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and decayed (D), missing (M) and filled (F) teeth scores (DMFT). Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on Turkish speaking, 300 voluntary individuals between the ages 18-30 that were applied to Kırıkkale University Faculty of Dentistry without any cognitive impairment, visual and hearing problem. Patients' socio-demographic information and DMFT scores were recorded. Then OHL level was detected using a word recognition test. After that OHRQoL score was determined using a special survey. Data were analyzed SPSS 16.0 programme with using Pearson correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe tests. Results: Male individuals had more missing teeth than female individuals (p=0.041). OHL was significantly high at higher educational level individuals (p<0.001). In terms of OHL levels, DT, MT, FT, DMFT and OHRQoL scores did not show significant differences (p>0.05). OHL level of the individuals' did not associated with DT, MT, FT, DMFT and OHRQoL scores (p>0.05). Besides these findings, there is no association was found between DMFT and OHRQoL scores (p>0.05). Age factor showed a positive correlation between MT (p=0.001, r=0.197). Conclusion:The education level of the individuals has an impact on OHL levels. The association between OHL, DMFT and OHRQoL scores did not confirmed clearly.

“…[32][33][34][35] Similar to our findings, previous studies indicate that income and self-rated oral health are important predictors of dental service utilization. 12,36,37 In the past two decades, several instruments have been developed to measure population and individual levels of OHL. Nonetheless, the vast majority of these tools are exclusively focused on word recognition, ignoring the important dimensions of OHL.…”

“…4,5 Studies have shown that individuals with low levels of OHL, present higher prevalence rates of oral conditions, such as dental caries, missing teeth, and periodontal disease, in addition to worse self-rated oral health, irregular attendance to dental appointments, poor oral healthrelated quality of life, and greater deleterious oral habits. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] However, evidence from systematic reviews indicates inconclusive findings regarding these associations. [13][14][15] Furthermore, OHL is a construct that influences the use of dental services.…”

This study aimed to investigate the association between Oral Health Literacy (OHL) and dental outcomes. A sample of 920 adults above 18 years of age living in areas covered by 10 Family Health Units (FHUs) in a large city in São Paulo state, Brazil, was included. OHL was assessed using the short-form Health Literacy in Dentistry Scale . Data on sociodemographic factors, oral health, and general health were obtained through a structured questionnaire. The investigated outcomes "tooth loss" and "reason for the last dental appointment" were evaluated using self-reported data. Simple logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between each independent factor and outcomes. Factors that presented a significance level of ≤0.20 in the bivariate analysis were included in the hierarchical multiple logistic regression models. Participants with an education level up to high school, low OHL, and poor/fair self-rated oral health had 1.35 (95%CI, 1.01-1.80), 1.48 (95%CI, 1.12-1.95), and 1.46 (95%CI, 1.11-1.92) times more probability to report missing teeth, respectively. Adults from families with lower monthly income, low OHL, and poor/fair self-rated oral health had 1.70 (95%CI, 1.29-2.26), 1.89 (95%CI, 1.42-2.51), and 1.73 (95%CI, 1.30-2.30) times more chance, respectively, to have gone to the last dental appointment due to pain or caries. Adults with low OHL levels are more likely to have missing teeth and have gone to the last dental visit for pain, reinforcing the importance of OHL as an important determinant for promoting oral health.

“…Taken together, the two OHIP-14 scores mentioned above demonstrate a higher impact on oral health conditions in people with mental illness than in the general adult population in Brazil [19,[28][29][30][31][32][33] and worldwide [25,26,[34][35][36][37], a fact that should draw managers' attention to actions directed toward this group. In spite of other tools being applied to investigate OHRQoL in people with depression and/or schizophrenia, such as the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) [38,39], OHIP-14 has been the instrument most widely used to measure OHRQoL in the adult general population and among patients with mental illness [11,12,[14][15][16][17]40].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate associations of sociodemographic, lifestyle, medical conditions, and caries experience with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a large sample of adults with mental disorders. A sample of 753 adults diagnosed with schizophrenia or depression, who were users of 10 public mental health outpatient clinics located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, participated in the study. Participants provided data on sociodemographic characteristics, psychiatric diagnosis, medication use, and health behaviors. Oral examinations to evaluate dental caries (using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth ([DMFT] index) and dental plaque (using the Silness-Löe plaque index) were conducted. Oral health-related quality of life was evaluated using the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Log-Poisson regression was used to evaluate associations between the outcome and independent variables. The prevalence of one or more OHIP-14 impacts occurring fairly often/often was 72.3%. Physical pain was the OHIP domain with the highest prevalence, followed by psychological discomfort. Multivariable analysis showed that higher prevalence of the reponses 'fairly often/often' in the OHIP-14 was associated with being female, aged 35 to 54 years, having a low family income, a diagnosis of depression, a smoking habit, and fewer than 20 teeth. Adults with mental disorders had a high prevalence of impacts on their OHRQoL, which were associated with caries experience, sociodemographic characteristics, type of psychiatric diagnosis, and behavioral risk indicators.
