AB  - BACKGROUND: Periodontal diseases can negatively impact the oral health-related 
      quality of life (OHRQoL) of pregnant women. This study investigates the 
      association between maternal oral inflammatory load (OIL), sociodemographic 
      characteristics, and the OHRQoL in postpartum women. METHODS: In this 
      cross-sectional study, breastfeeding mothers were recruited from St. Michael's 
      Hospital, Toronto within 2-4 weeks postpartum. Mothers were categorized into 
      "Normal/low" and "High" OIL groups based on the absolute counts of oral 
      polymorphonuclear neutrophils (oPMNs). The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 
      questionnaire was used to assess the impact of the maternal OIL on the OHRQoL. 
      Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to examine the association 
      between maternal sociodemographic factors including age, marital status, 
      education level, employment status, parity, and their OHRQoL. RESULTS: 
      Forty-seven mothers were included in this study. Mothers with high OIL reported 
      higher impact on their OHRQoL (30%) than mothers with normal/low OIL (21%), but 
      these differences were not statistically different. There was a negative 
      relationship between the mother's education level and the extent of impact of 
      OHRQoL on the "physical pain" dimension (p < 0.05), and between the mothers' age 
      and employment status and the "physical disability" dimension (p < 0.05). A 
      positive correlation was noted between multi-parity and the extent of impact of 
      OHRQoL on the "physical disability" dimension (p = 0.009), and between the 
      marital status and the "psychological disability" dimension (p < 0.05). 
      CONCLUSION: This study highlighted the significant impact of sociodemographic 
      characteristics on the OHRQoL of mothers, showcasing the importance of 
      considering these factors when implementing targeted preventive dental care 
      programs for mothers.
