“…Widespread dental prevention efforts need to examine the myriad causes of the lack of penetration of prevention to broad patient populations where access to dental care is limited. One area of focus on the risk factors that dentistry shares with other noncommunicable diseases, such as free sugar, tobacco, and alcohol, should be developed, tested, and supported by dental research and dentists as well as dental organizations worldwide (Watt and Sheiham 2012; Moynihan et al 2020). Dentistry can advocate oral health–friendly regulation and legislation, with the underlying sociobehavioral component being accounted for in current oral health care delivery systems.…”

“…The editors are grateful to Richard Watt and his colleagues as the architects of this valued series to advance awareness and continued research addressing global oral health disparities. Their team provides important implications of the work in their corresponding piece on oral and dental research and policy implications (Moynihan et al 2020; Watt et al 2020). With dental diseases being among the most prevalent worldwide and with overall treatment burden growing, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs; Kassebaum et al 2017), there is great need to proceed in a timely fashion to deliver actionable evidence and policies to improve oral health care globally.…”

“…The idea that oral disorders cause a significant health burden and influence quality of life, finances, discomfort, and even mortality should be accepted by all stakeholders. The issue was recently well addressed by Peres MA (2019); Watt RG (2019); The LC (2019); Moynihan P (2020); Watt RG (2020) [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Background Based on the present global burden of oral diseases, unmet dental needs affect a more significant population worldwide. It is characterised by the need for dental care but receiving delayed or no care. The contributing factors include lack of knowledge about oral health, its consequences, and the availability of dental services. We need to find out the scale of the problem of unmet dental needs for the south Indian population. Therefore, the objective was to determine the relationship between the presence of oral disease and the quality of life-related to oral health using the OHIP-14 tool. Methods The unmet dental requirements of the south Indian population were determined using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. Close-ended questions were used to obtain data from two investigators trained to record the answers from the patients. The data was collected using the OHIP-14 questionnaire, which consists of 14 items divided into seven domains with two questions each. Physical pain, psychological impairment, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and disability were all considered. An additional analysis of artificial neural network (ANN) was done. Results The response rate was 100 per cent. N = 1029 people replied to the questionnaire about their unmet dental needs. N = 497 (48.3%) were men, whereas N = 532 (51.7%) were women. The average age was 31.7811.72. As their current occupation, most of the included subjects (60.1%) were students. The respondents had no known personal habits and a mixed diet (94.93%). The average BMI was 24.022.59 (14-30.9). OHIP was present in 62.3% of the population. The average OHIP-14 severity score was 10.97. (8.54). The severity and degree of unmet dental need were substantial (p0.01) due to pain in the mouth/teeth/gums, malocclusion, and gum bleeding. The most common OHIP-14 domains affected by unmet oral needs were psychological discomfort, psychological limitation, social limitation, and feeling handicapped. The analysis of ANN revealed that high OHIP scores were primarily attributed to dental caries, poor oral health, and dental aesthetics. Conclusion The severity and degree of unmet dental needs were significant among the south Indian population. The most common oral health status that impacted OHIP-14 domains were pain, malocclusion, and bleeding gums. These patients were significantly impacted by psychological discomfort and social limitations and felt handicapped.
