The “More Smiles for Chile” program was created to make a change on the quality of life of participating women; however, the assessments usually focus on goals achieved. The aim of the present study was to determine the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in women who participated in the “More Smiles for Chile” program at the San Pedro Family Health Center. Method: a quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 120 women. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) scale and a questionnaire about demographic and dental variables were used to measure OHRQoL. The interviews were conducted at the Family Health Center. Results: the most affected components of OHRQoL are psychological discomfort and physical pain. The dimensions with significant changes in OHRQoL were: functional limitation, psychological discomfort, psychological disability, and global perception. Conclusions: the More Smiles for Chile program positively impacts the OHRQoL perception in participating women, with significant differences in post-participation averages.Rocío Henríquez-TejoIsis Chamblás-GarcíaUniversidad de Antioquiaarticleoral healhthquality of lifewomenoral health programhealth policiesDentistryRK1-715ENRevista Facultad de Odontología Universidad de Antioquia, Vol 32, Iss 2, Pp 64-74 (2020)
