The association of socio-economic status, dental anxiety, and behavioral and clinical variables with adolescents ’ oral health-related quality of life

ConclusionOur study indicates that adolescents with poorer oral health knowledge, higher dental anxiety levels, brushing their teeth less than once a day, or having a daily consumption of chocolate or biscuits had statistically worse OHRQoL. These findings can provide guidance for future oral health promotion in improving OHRQoL among adolescents.
