Abstract

Background: Oral health is defined not only as an oral cavity that is free of disease but also contributes to the normal function of the oral cavity. Lack of awareness in maintaining oral hygiene gives rise to dental and oral health problems, one of which is caries which can affect the quality of life related to oral health. The impact on children^s quality of life is the emergence of pain, discomfort, and eating disorders. Objective: To determine the correlation between caries and oral hygiene status with oral-health related quality of life in primary students school at Kecamatan Palmerah. Method: The type of research is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. Samples were taken using the total sampling method with 108 students in grades IV-VI as respondents. Dental caries was measured with DMFT index and oral hygiene status was measured with OHIS index. Data analysis was carried out using Spearman analysis using the SPSS program. Results: The results of the analysis show that dental caries has a significant correlation with OHRQoL (p value=0,032). Furthermore, oral hygiene has a significant correlation with OHRQoL (p value=0,016). Conclusion: The higher the dental caries and the worse the oral hygiene status, the oral related quality of life is also disturbed.
