Objective: to assess the relation of familial risk with oral health, quality of life and socioeconomic variables. Methods: cross-sectional observational study encompassing 311 individuals (18 to 71 years old) living in the catchment area of four Family Health Units located in two municipalities of São Paulo state. The participants were evaluated according to: (1) clinical situation (CPO-D and treatment necessity); (2) self-perception oral health (OHIP-14), (3) quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF); and (4) socioeconomic status. The Coelho Scale was used for assessing familial risk. Data were analyzed using a multilevel model formed by fixed components (represented by the studied variables) and random components (represented by the neighborhoods and the variances in the different levels). Results: the participants’ average age was 36.7 years old (SD=13), and the average CPO-D was 12.9 (SD=7.0). The average of the Coelho´s Risk Scale among the volunteers was 2.67, with a standard error of 0.32. The participants with higher total risk score were older individuals (p=0.0486) who lived in houses with more residents (p<0.001), who were less educated (p=0.0137), who did not own a vehicle (p=0.0048), and who had a higher OHIP-14 score (p=0.0130). Conclusion: the familial risk scale was positively associated with the socioeconomic variables, and the individuals with higher familial risk score had worse self-perception of their oral health. However, they did not perceive themselves as having worse general quality of life.
