Objective To examine the impact of clinical, individual, and environmental factors on children’s oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following dental caries management under general anaesthetic (GA). Methods Participants comprised 5- to 16-year-old children who were referred to a British Dental Hospital, for the management of their dental caries under GA. The Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC) and the Child Health Utility 9D (CHU9D) were used to assess child-reported OHRQoL and HRQoL, respectively, at baseline and 3-months follow up. A theoretical conceptual model, based on the Wilson and Cleary model of HRQOL, was evaluated using path analysis to explore indirect and direct relationships of the clinical, individual, and environmental variables on the quality of life outcomes following treatment. Results 85 children completed the study. Path analyses revealed that 47% of the variance in OHRQoL scores was accounted for by the variables in the model. There were significant relationships between change in OHRQoL score and treatment type [extraction only vs. combination care ( β  = 1.41,  p  = 0.07)] and number of extractions ( β  = 0.46,  p  &lt; 0.001). A higher number of tooth extractions was associated with poorer OHRQoL and HRQoL following treatment. Conclusions Treatment type, via number of extractions, may significantly impact on child OHRQoL and HRQoL following treatment under GA. However, to identify any other factors, that might affect these key outcomes, further enquiry is warranted with a bigger sample.
