This study aimed to verify oral health, treatment needs, dental service accessibility, and impact of oral health on quality of life (QL) of subjects from settlement in Pontal do Paranapanema/SP, Brazil. In this epidemiological survey, 180 10-to 19- years old adolescents enrolled in the school that attend this population in settlement underwent oral examination, to verify caries index (DMFT- decayed, missing and filled teeth) and periodontal condition (CPI), and were interviewed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref) and Oral Impact Daily Performance (OIDP) instruments to evaluate QL, and the Global School-Based Health Survey (GSHS) about dental service accessibility. DMFT average was 5.49 (± 3.33). Overall, 37.2% of participants showed periodontal problems, mainly CPI = 1 (77.7%). Treatment needs were mainly restorations. GSHS showed that the last dental consultation occurred &gt; 1 year previously for 58.3% of participants at a public health center (78.9%). The average WHOQOL-Bref was 87.59 (± 15.23). Social relationships were related to dental caries and health service type. The average OIDP was 6.49 (± 9.15). The prevalence of caries was high and observed periodontal problems were reversible. The social relationships of adolescents from settlement were influenced by caries and health services type.
