The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify if there was any difference between experimental and control group in self-esteem, impact of oral health on social life and living quality, satisfaction with appearance of teeth and oral hygiene. There were 30 participants of experimental group, aged between 25–65 which were without acute symptoms and they were treated from alcoholism and depression at Department of Psychiatry, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital in Zagreb. Control group consisted of 30 participants aged between 18–65, it was curiosity that

Participants of experimental group had worse oral health status. It was also proven that there was an influence of lower level of oral health status on low self-esteem and a significant difference between control and experimental group in all test pieces.
