Abstract
The concept of oral health related quality of life is a relatively new field of research, which examines the functional, social and economic consequences of oral conditions on daily life and well-being. It is now considered as an essential component of assessing oral health of individuals and populations and also outcomes of health care.

The significant lack of and need for social indicators and a comprehensive approach to measuring the social and psychologic impacts of dental disease has been highlighted in several recent reports.
