Summary
Health is defined as the complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity [1]. Based on these concepts, measuring health should not be confirmed only with clinical assessment, and we have to consider mental and social aspects from the patient. It's the same for dental treatment, which we can't measure it by only clinical assessment, and including physic, mental and social condition [2]. OHRQoL has been used from the 15 years ago, and it can measure the impact of dental disease on physic, mental and social conditions by use questioner. OHRQoL concepts significantly talk about clinic condition from dental health, dental research, and study of dental [4,5]
