The objective of this study was to determine the impact of oral problems on the quality of life of schoolchildren. This was an observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study, with a randomly selected systematic sample. The sample consisted of 274 children aged 11-14 years enrolled in public educational institutions in Pamplona Alta, San Juan de Miraflores, 2016. The complete version of the CPQ 11-14 questionnaire, consisting of 37 questions, was used. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent t-test (p < 0.05), ANOVA (p < 0.05), and the Chi-Square test (p < 0.05). The total CPQ score was 40.89 ± 17.34, with 97.81% showing a very high dental caries index (8.18), with greater impact in 14-year-olds. Additionally, 17.52% had dental trauma, with a predominance in males and 13-year-olds, and 48.18% had a need for orthodontic treatment, with both sexes being affected and a predominance in 12 to 13-year-olds. In conclusion, there was a high prevalence of dental caries, low prevalence of dental trauma, and a need for orthodontic treatment. Oral problems did not negatively influence the quality of life of the schoolchildren.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between oral problems, quality of life, and academic performance in schoolchildren aged 11 to 14 years in the province of Cañete - 2022. The research has a quantitative approach, deductive method, applied type, and observational design. The sample consisted of 126 students aged 11 to 14 years. Data collection was carried out using the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14) which has been validated in Spanish, dental records, and students' grade records. The results showed that 94.4% had dental caries, and regarding malocclusions, it was found that 89.7% of the 126 students needed orthodontic treatment, while only 7.9% had dental trauma lesions. The descriptive values of the CPQ 11-14 were 34.96±23.4. Regarding academic performance, 85.7% of students passed. The conclusion is that, despite a high incidence of caries and the need for orthodontic treatment, there is no significant association with quality of life. Furthermore, even though poor oral conditions are evident, they do not correlate with academic performance.
