Caries Impacts and Experiences and Dental Care Utilization for Saudi Schoolchildren: Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children – A Disease-Specific Measure

Future research should explore other factors that influence the relationship between care utilization and caries-specific quality of life.
