The objective of this study was to determine the quality of life related to oral health, according to the perceptions of adolescents aged 11-14 and their parents, at the educational institution 0146 Su Santidad Juan Pablo II in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho in 2017. This study was descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional. The probabilistic sample consisted of 170 adolescents aged 11-14 years with their respective parents. The instruments used were the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14) and the Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ), which were completed by the adolescents and parents. The dental caries experience was assessed through the DMFT index, and the molar relationship was also recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using Poisson regression with a robust estimator. Results: The quality of life related to oral health, according to the perceptions of the adolescents aged 11-14 years and their parents, was not statistically significant when related to age, gender, caries experience, and molar relationship. In the studied sample, the average DMFT score was 4.62 teeth with dental caries experience. The majority of adolescents rated their oral health as "good" (42.9%), while their parents rated it as "fair" (54.7%). Regarding how oral health affects their general well-being, adolescents considered it to affect them "a little" (49.4%), similar to the parents' perception (35.9%). According to the Pearson correlation analysis, there was a statistically significant correlation (40.3%) between the adolescents' quality of life related to oral health and their parents' perception of it.
