Oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) is an important indicator of the impact of oral conditions on daily functioning, well-being, and social interactions, particularly during adolescence, a stage characterized by significant physical and psychosocial development. Assessing OHRQoL in this population is essential for identifying unmet oral health needs and guiding preventive strategies in vulnerable settings. This study aimed to evaluate oral health–related quality of life among adolescents in peri-urban communities. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted among 107 secondary school students selected from a population of 147 adolescents. Data were collected using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire, a validated instrument for assessing OHRQoL in young populations. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using frequencies and percentages. Overall, 77.6% (n = 83) of participants reported a good level of oral health–related quality of life, while 22.4% (n = 24) reported a moderate level. When stratified by age, a higher proportion of good OHRQoL was observed among 13-year-old adolescents (87.0%), followed by those aged 12 years (80.0%), 11 years (71.4%), and 14 years (71.4%). These findings indicate that most adolescents perceive their oral health as having a limited impact on their daily lives; however, a relevant proportion still experiences some degree of impairment. In conclusion, oral health–related quality of life among adolescents in peri-urban communities was predominantly favorable, although targeted preventive and educational interventions remain necessary to address existing disparities.
