AB  - OBJECTIVE: To identify clinical and psychosocial predictors of 
      oral-health-related quality of life (OHQoL) in Thai children over time. METHODS: 
      OHQoL data were collected from 510 students aged 10-14 years at baseline and 3, 6 
      and 9-month follow-up using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14), and 
      sense of coherence (SOC), dental coping beliefs (DCB) and socioeconomic status 
      (maternal educational attainment, paternal educational attainment and parental 
      income), together with clinical variables (untreated caries, gingival health, 
      malocclusion, dental opacities), were collected at baseline. The data were 
      analysed with structural equation modelling (SEM) guided by the Wilson and Cleary 
      model (J Am Med Assoc 1995;273:59). RESULTS: Mean DMFT was 1.97 (SD=1.81). Most 
      students had healthy gingivae (54.3%) and 68.9% scored IOTN 1-4. The SEM model 
      fitted the data well [CMIN/DF=2.574, SRMR=0.0561, CFI=0.974 and RMSEA=0.059 (90% 
      CIs=0.039-0.079)]. Higher SOC, DCB and socioeconomic status (SES) at baseline 
      consistently predicted better OHQoL at all three time points. Untreated caries at 
      baseline predicted worse OHQoL at 6-month follow-up only. Malocclusion and dental 
      opacities were unrelated to OHQoL at any time point. CONCLUSIONS: Individual 
      factors, particularly SOC, were important influences on OHQoL, suggesting that 
      interventions designed to promote SOC may present an opportunity to enhance 
      children's experience of oral health in their daily lives. Clinical factors were 
      not consistently related to OHQoL. This could be attributed to weak relationships 
      between the two, the low level of disease and/or the sensitivity and discriminant 
      validity of the CPQ11-14.
