Abstract

Health-related quality of life refers to how a person views

their illness and the outcomes of treatment, along with their personal

concerns(Niemann, Ingleshwar, & Paulson, 2024). Oral and dental

health-related quality of life specifically looks at how pain or

discomfort in the mouth and face impacts psychological, social,

functional, and overall well-being. Key factors that enhance oral and

dental health-related quality of life include the proper eruption and

alignment of teeth in the mouth. Any form of tooth impaction can

negatively influence a person's quality of life(Kaczor-Urbanowicz,

Zadurska, & Czochrowska, 2016a; Niemann et al., 2024).
