[Assessment of the correlation between quality of life and oral health using global self-evaluation in a group of elderly patients].

Oral-health-related quality of life is expected to have multiple dimensions. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the oral health and the quality of life in a group of 123 elderly people who attended our clinic. All of them responded to a questionnaire concerning the way they perceived the effect of oral health on different parameters related to the quality of life.
