Definition
This is a 49-item measure of oral health-related quality of life, which measures people’s perception of the impact of oral disorders on their well-being, that is, the dysfunction, discomfort, disability, and handicap caused by oral conditions.
Description
The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) was developed by Slade and Spencer (1994) as a self-rating patient-centered instrument designed to assess the priorities of care by documenting social impact among individuals and groups, understand oral health behaviors, evaluate dental treatment, and provide information for planning for oral health.
Seven dimensions are captured by the OHIP-49: Functional Limitation (9 items, e.g., “Have you had trouble pronouncing any words because of problems with your teeth, mouth, dentures, or jaw?” “Have you had food catching in your teeth because of problems with your teeth, mouth, or dentures?”), Physical Pain (9 items, e.g., “Have you had painful aching in your mouth because of problems with...
