“…Oral health-related quality of life concerns with the way oral diseases disturb the regular functioning of an individual, and it is an important focus for assessing the impact of oral conditions on adults and children (3,4). A short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile comprising 14 items (OHIP-14) has been validated in Brazil and is useful to assess oral health related quality of life (5).…”

This study aimed to assess the impact of oral health on the quality of life of adolescents. A cross-sectional study was performed with students from public and private schools from Passo Fundo, Brazil. All students were aged between 15 and 19 years old. The proportional random sample consisted of 736 adolescents from 20 schools. A structured questionnaire was applied, and an oral examination was performed, counting the number of teeth. Oral health-related quality of life was assessed by OHIP-14. Associations between quality of life and associated factors were analyzed. The mean OHIP-14 score was 7.25. Age, ethnicity and studying in a public school were associated to the OHIP-14 score. Tooth loss (p=0.79) was not associated with quality of life. Additionally, questions related to appearance, such as whether teeth appearance bothers the adolescent (p=0.68) were not associated with quality of life. Attending a public school (OR=1.63; CI95%: 0.98-2.70) and self-reported halitosis (OR=1.48; CI95%: 1.01-2.16) were strongly associated to higher impact on quality of life. It was concluded that socioeconomic conditions and halitosis were associated to higher impact on quality of life of adolescents O r a l H e

“…Due to the associated social and psychological effects, intra‐oral halitosis should be taken seriously, and considered one of the most unattractive aspects of social interactions (de Jongh et al., ). It negatively impacts sufferers’ quality of life (QoL), emotional well‐being with potentially damaging effects on psychosocial interactions and relationships (de Jongh et al., ; Lu, Chen, Wong, Zhu, & Ye, ; Troger, Almeida, & Duquia, )…”

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of halitosis and associated factors in institutionalized elderly persons. Methods: a sectional study was performed with 268 elderly persons from 11 long-term care institutions in Natal in the northeast of Brazil. Data collection included an oral epidemiologic examination and questions about self-perception of oral health, as well as a consultation of medical records and the application of a questionnaire to the directors of the institutions. Halitosis was measured using the organoleptic test. The independent variables were oral, sociodemographic, institutional, general health and functional conditions. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Pearson chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, and the magnitude of effect was verified by the prevalence ratio for the independent variables in relation to the outcome, with a 95% confidence level. Results: the prevalence of halitosis was 26.1%, which was exhaled by the mouth in 98.57% of cases and by the nose in 10% of cases. Prevalence was 43% higher among nonwhite individuals ( p=0.006); 65% higher among those living in non-profit institutions ( p=0.039); 52% higher in elderly persons with oriented cognitive status ( p=0.047); 41% higher in elderly persons with root caries ( p=0.029); 62% higher in those who did not use dentures ( p=0.046); 57% lower in edentulous persons ( p<0.001); and 73% higher in elderly individuals with tongue biofilm ( p=0.001). Conclusion: The occurrence of halitosis in institutionalized elderly persons was similar to other studies, but there was an expressive number of extrabuccal cases and an association with oral health problems, as well as sociodemographic, institutional and functional factors.
