| Abstract: | Background: The prison population is a physically, mentally, socially, and economically vulnerable sector in our society with neglected oral health. Dental check-ups not only provide the necessity of treatment but also create awareness regarding the importance of oral health among the incarcerated individuals.; Aim: The study aims to evaluate the oral health status and its impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among the prisoners through the application of the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14).; Methodology: A cross-sectional study design involved demographic details, oral examination to assess DMFT index, and structured OHIP-14 questionnaire to assess seven dimensions of the oral health impact profile of 440 male inmates. The responses were recorded in a five-point Likert scale from 0 to 4. The final score was calculated.; Results: The overall mean OHIP score was 14.048 with a standard deviation of 9.995. Out of seven, the most affected domain was psychological discomfort (mean 2.49, SD 1.68) and the least affected domain was functional disability (mean 1.21, SD 1.18).; Conclusion: The findings from this research can contribute valuable insights into the oral health challenges faced by incarcerated individuals, potentially guiding the development of targeted oral health interventions within correctional settings.; (Copyright: © 2024 Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences.) |
