Data were collected using a questionnaire including the WHOQOL-Bref instrument, demographic data and occupation information, and self-rated health status and quality of life. Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to estimate associations. RESULTS Response rate was 62.9% (N=149). The physical domain had the highest mean scores (70.3; SD=14.6) and the environment domain had the lowest mean scores (59.4; SD=13.7). Most dentists had low quality of life in the physical (51.0%) and psychological domains (52.3%) and high quality of life in the social relationships (50.3%) and environment domains (59.1%). The multiple logistic regression showed an association between self-rated health status and satisfaction and the physical domain; and self-rated quality of life and the physical, psychological and environment domains.
