Locker's conceptual model of oral health: a reflective study
Keywords:
Critical theory, Oral health, Quality of lifeAbstract
Objective: to critically present the theory of locker's conceptual oral health model. Method: this is a descriptive study based on a literature review of a qualitative approach. Articles were used between 1994 and 2021 in the Scielo and Lilacs databases. Results: Locker's conceptual oral health model is an improved and modified model of the International Classification of Disabilities, Disabilities and Disadvantages of the World Health Organization. It is considered that the impact of oral problems on people's lives is carried out progressively, from the biological to the behavioral level and from this to the social. Such comprehensiveness of approach is important and appropriate, because it is considered that it is perfectly possible for a disease to have an impact on one or more dimensions of people's lives, or casually in all of them. Conclusion: the conceptual model of Locker continues to be used, nowadays, as a basis for the development of instruments to measure quality of life related to oral health. Understanding the essence of this model is fundamental to correctly measure this construct and understand what is around the evaluation domains.
