One of the chronic and systemic diseases is diabetes mellitus, which affects oral health. The severity of its manifestations depends on the stage of the disease, influencing the individual's quality of life. Given this, the objective of this research was: "To establish the relationship between oral health-related quality of life and type II diabetes mellitus in patients attending the Life’s Good Polyclinic in the San Juan de Miraflores district, 2021." An observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted. The population consisted of 162 people with diabetes mellitus and 162 without diabetes, all over 40 years of age, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The variables considered were sex, age, and oral hygiene. Data was collected using the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (IHO-S) and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Our results showed that 148 (91.40%) diabetic participants exhibited a regular quality of life, of whom 77 had regular oral hygiene, 68 had poor oral hygiene, and 3 had good oral hygiene. 8 (4.90%) participants with poor quality of life showed poor oral hygiene, and 6 (3.70%) with good quality of life had regular or good oral hygiene. The non-diabetic participants (162, 100%) revealed having good quality of life and consequently, good and regular oral hygiene. It is concluded that oral health-related quality of life is related to the presence of diabetes mellitus, and is also influenced by oral hygiene; however, it is not related to age and sex.
