Of three schools for visually impaired children in Tehran, children in the sixth to the tenth grade (aged 12\u201317 years) were included after obtaining their parents\u2019 consent. WHO oral health questionnaire for children was filled out through face to face interviews. General characteristics were age, gender, status of visual impairment, place of residence, and parental education level. Oral health-related questions were perceived dental and gingival health, dental self-care, dental visits, medical conditions, and dietary habits. Oral examinations included Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI\u2011S), and Bleeding on Probing (BOP). Univariate and multiple logistic regression tests were applied using STATA.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The mean age (SD) of the adolescents was 14.45 (1.61) years. The fully blind children were 33.8%, and those with low vision were 66.2%. Regarding the perception of dental and gingival health, nearly half of the adolescents were satisfied. The mean DMFT and decayed component (DT) were 2.43\u2009\u00b1\u20092.24 and 1.92\u2009\u00b1\u20092.12, respectively. The frequency of DMFT\u2009\u2265\u20093 was 45.4%. The mean OHI-S was 2.01\u2009\u00b1\u20090.70, and OHI-S\u2009&gt;\u20091.8 was reported in 60% of children. The prevalence of BOP was 79.2%. DMFT was significantly associated with toothache (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003, OR\u2009=\u20093.70, 95% CI: 1.54\u20139.09), perceived dental health (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005, OR\u2009=\u20093.06, 95% CI: 1.40\u20136.67), and medical conditions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03, OR\u2009=\u20093.13, 95% CI: 1.13\u20138.68).
