8. Results
 3.Quantitative research synthesis & qualitative
analysis
(1)TMDs indicated that they were highly associated
with reduced health-related QOL (21)
(2)Tooth loss in type 2 diabetes subjects & poor oral
status were associated with reduction in health-
related QOL(24,25)
(3)Dissatisfaction with the teeth & mouth , and a
sensation of dry mouth contributed to a reduction
in health-related QOL(24)
(4)Edentulous jaws, periodontal disease &
increased dental caries were not correlated with
ealth-related QOL(27)

9. Discussion
 A lack of evidence concerning the association
between oral health & health-related QOL
implies that a lack of suitable instruments for
measuring oral health has impeded research
progress
