Abstract
This study has identified that patients with chronic periodontitis report significantly poorer oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) than age- and gender-matched periodontally healthy patients, with significant functional, social and psychological impacts. Clinicians should be aware of the impacts that periodontitis may have on OHRQoL, including psychological concerns, halitosis, pain and aesthetics.
