Background: The present study will help to understand the importance of the helicopter parenting style. The term is used to describe a phenomenon of a growing number of parents who pay too close attention and are obsessed with their children__ampersandsignrsquo;s success, particularly in areas of decision-making, academic studies, and social relationships. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of helicopter parenting (HP) and its influence on adolescents__ampersandsignrsquo; academic performance and oral hygiene status. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out with 301 children aged 12-17yrs. HP__ampersandsignrsquo;s prevalence was assessed using the Helicopter parenting scale, and the children__ampersandsignrsquo;s academic performance was recorded from school records. Oral hygiene status using the oral hygiene index- simplified (OHI-S), and Frankl__ampersandsignrsquo;s behaviour rating was assessed during the examination. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 21.0, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Independent student t-test and chi-square test were used to test the statistical significance (P__ampersandsignlt;0.05 considered statistically significant). Results: The study participants__ampersandsignrsquo; mean age was 14.26 years; the prevalence of children with HP was 48%, with academic performance of 79.54 __ampersandsignplusmn; 10.98 compared to without HP (83.41 __ampersandsignplusmn; 9.40). There was a statistically significant difference between HP and the academic performance of children. The mean OHI-S scores in children with HP and without HP were 0.27 __ampersandsignplusmn; 0.51and 1.13 __ampersandsignplusmn; 0.74, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (p__ampersandsignlt;0.001) was observed. Frankl__ampersandsignrsquo;s behaviour rating scale did not show any significant difference between children with HP and without HP (P= 0.766). Conclusion: The prevalence of HP was about 48% and had a significant effect on academic performance as it influences chil dren__ampersandsignrsquo;s capability. However, better oral hygiene was observed in children with HP. Frankl__ampersandsignrsquo;s behaviour-rating scale did not show any significant difference among children, as the examination was performed in a non-dental setting.
