Objective: To evaluate the influence of individual social capital on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of adult users of the Unified Health System (UHS). Methods: This cross-sectional study included adults of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) of Santa Maria, RS. Data collection was performed from November 2019 to March 2020 in four ESFs by calibrated and trained examiners. Individual social capital, assessed by participation in volunteer activities and trust in neighbors and friends, was considered the predictor of the study. Sociodemographic, behavioral, and periodontal health characteristics were also collected. The OHRQoL, considered the outcome, was measured using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Poisson regression models assessed the association between independent variables and OHRQoL. Results: In total, 80 adults were included. Female subjects, of non-white skin color, with lower monthly family income, smokers, who visited the dental service less than one year ago and who had gingival bleeding had high total OHIP-14 scores (P<0.05). Non-participation in voluntary activities [rate ratio (RR): 1.24; confidence interval (CI) 95%: 1.03-1.50] and the lack of trust in neighbors and friends (RR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.08-1.43) were associated with a worse OHRQoL of adults. Conclusion: The absence of individual social capital negatively influenced the OHRQoL of adult SUS users.
