요약	The Oral Health Literacy Scale (OHLS) is an assessment tool measuring patients' ability to understand, process, and act on oral health information. Originally developed as part of health literacy research by Rushton and colleagues, the OHLS evaluates comprehension of dental terminology, oral disease prevention concepts, and informed consent for dental treatment. The OHLS bridges communication gaps in dental care, identifying patients who may have difficulty understanding clinical explanations and treatment options, and enabling tailored patient education.	The Child Oral Health Impact Profile (COHIP) is a 34-item instrument measuring oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents aged 6-14 years. Developed by Broder and colleagues and refined through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), the COHIP captures developmental and age-appropriate impacts of oral conditions (caries, malocclusion, traumatic injury) on children's functional well-being, emotional state, and social participation. The COHIP is the paediatric equivalent of OHIP-14 and has become the standard measure for child-centred outcomes in paediatric dental research.
