Impacted third molar, Oral Health Related Quality of Life, OHIP-14Abstract
Impacted third molar is a condition commonly encountered in day-to-day practice. Impacted teeth are abnormal positions of the teeth in the oral cavity, unable to erupt, usually causing a pathological condition, and require treatment. It is associated with pathological conditions such as caries, root resorption, periodontal pocket formation in the distal mandibular second molar, cysts, and halitosis. These conditions are health problems in the oral cavity that can interfere with daily activities. The presence of serious oral health problems will cause a decrease in quality of life. This study aims to determine the quality of life of patients with impacted third molar in Dental Polyclinic at Andalas University Hospital. the type of research to be conducted was a descriptive observational study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study amounted to 40 respondents using the non-probability method with convenience sampling. The quality of life was measured using an Oral Health Impacted Profile (OHIP-14). The results of this study showed that 17,5% in a good category, 62.5% in a moderate category, and 20% in a poor category. The majority of subjects with impacted mandibular third molar in Dental Polyclinic at Andalas University Hospital had a quality of life in the moderate category.
