Descriptive data analysis and variable relationship analysis.
Results: The findings showed that 67.8 percent had dental caries, with the mean DMFT being 12.1 and approximately 81.5 percent had severe gingival attachment loss. About 62 percent had tooth attrition, the mean total OHIP-49 score was 55.49±20.73. The relationship of dental health conditions to quality of life of the elderly those with a OHIP-49 score higher than the mean related to tooth attrition, dental caries, gingival swelling, oral ulcer, poor oral hygiene, and never getting dental care knowledge.
