Methods: Cross-sectional study in 101 elderly. Datarecording and intraoral examination. Interview questionnaire for oral healthknowledge and quality of life of the elderly. Results: Validity and reliabilityshowed good results. Gender (p=0.000), economic level (p=0.004), geographicfactor (p= 0.000), and OHI-S (p=0.013) statistically siqnificant to the level ofknowledge of oral health. Economic level (p=0.006) and OHI-S (p=0.001)statistically significant to quality of life. Only 24 subjects wear denture.Conclusion: Obtained level measuring instruments dental oral health knowledgevalid and reliable. In rural areas have a level of knowledge of oral and dentalhealth of denture demand lower than in urban areas. The factors that most affectthe quality of life of the elderly is OHI-S and economic levels.;Background: The level of knowledge of oral health and dental denture status is afactor that affects the quality of life of the elderly.
