Abstract

Background: Oral health is believed to be poor as individuals get older since oral problems like as dental caries, diseases of periodontium, and loss of tooth affecting such individuals are chronic and progressive conditions. Understanding whether oral disorders may have an impact on a person's quality of life requires more than merely tracking their prevalence. Therefore, while examining oral health, it is necessary to include quality of life related to the oral health (OHRQoL) metrics. Aim: To evaluate impact of tooth loss and periodontal status on oral health related quality of life among Indian elderly. Methods and materials: This study involved 2191 senior citizens and was cross-sectional in design. The elderly subjects of the Indian population (59 years of age and older) were chosen as the study population. Before obtaining their informed consent prior to the examination, each subject received a packet of information outlining the goals and methods of the study. Older respondents' oral health-related quality of life was assessed using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index's Hindi translation (GOHAI).
