A survey and clinical examination was carried out with sociodemographicinformation, use of health services and oral health status. The instrument OHIP-14(Profile of Impact of Oral Health on Quality of Life) was used. A description of theOHIP-14 and its summary measures according to different variables was applied. Results: Psychological distress and disability were the dimensions that presentedhighest scores in the sample. 85% of women reported one or more impacts oftheir oral health on quality of life, representing an average of 4.8 impacts (95%CI 3.8-5.9). Higher impact indicators were observed according to sociodemographic factorssuch as: educational level, time at work, family burden, social support or useof psychoactive substances. Likewise, greater impacts were reported according tofactors such as: being unsatisfied with their oral health, low oral health status, havingoral problems, requiring priority oral health attention and reporting problems ofaccess to dental care. Conclusions: There were gradients in the OHRQOL accordingto sociodemographic characteristics and oral health and access to oral health carevariables.
