Table 4 Mean OHIP-14 scores at each appointment when OHRQL was assessed. Only those appointments are shown when the questionnaire was administered, and the appointments are numbered accordingly. The OHIP-14 scores range from a minimum of 0 (absolute comfort with no discomfort in any addressed domain) to a maximum of 56 (absolute discomfort where all addressed domains cause the maximum degree of discomfort)
