The aim of this study is to determine whether by incorporating an Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) measure in dental practice will improve patient-dentist communication and enhance patient's satisfaction. The objectives of this study are: (i) To determine the measurement equivalence of Computer Touch Screen Assessment (CTSA) and Paper Based Assessment (PBA) of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). (ii) To evaluate and compare how useful a standardized OHRQoL assessment improves patient-dentist communication with regards to number of relevant OHRQoL issues addressed and percentage of most frequently items discussed between the intervention and control groups, assess the patient's active participation between the intervention and control groups and enhances patient's satisfaction between the intervention and control groups.
