The objective of the study was to assess the correlation between periodontal disease and oral health related quality of life amongst study sample. It was a case control study including 632 individuals screened by calibrated examiners at Department of Oral Diagnosis, Dental Hospital, Sialkot, Pakistan. Oral examination was carried out by two calibrated examiners to measure the periodontal disease i.e. (CAL more than 2 mm, BOP more than 6 sites and PPD more than 4 mm). Three hundred and sixteen (316) were participants with periodontal disease (case group) and 316 were participants without periodontal disease (control group). A back translated Urdu version of the standardized validated oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire was used to quantifying the impact on quality of life in both groups. Approximately 63.0% participants in case group had trouble in pronouncing words due to periodontal disease and only 9.0% in control group reported this issue. 83% participants had painful itching in mouth in the case group and 13% in control group. Majority (81.5%) of the participants in case group were uncomfortable in eating food and 72.9% felt tense due to periodontal disease. 69.7% participants in case group were found irritable with other people as compared to only 5% in control group.
Periodontal disease showed a significant correlation with oral health related quality of life amongst the study population.
