Measuring the level of oral health literacy in different populations and its correlation with the prevention and management of oral pathologies

Abstract

Oral health literacy (OHL) is critical in enabling individuals to make informed decisions regarding their oral health care. Low levels of OHL have been associated with poor oral health outcomes, including increased prevalence of dental caries, periodontal diseases, and other oral pathologies. This study aims to measure the level of OHL in different populations and explore its correlation with the prevention and management of oral pathologies.
