Abstract

Although it is recognized that periodontal disease negatively impacts quality of life, there is no validated instrument to assess this impact in Brazil. This study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the OHIP 14 PD (Oral Health Impact Profile Applied to Periodontal Diseases) for application among Brazilian patients. The original instrument was translated and validated into Brazilian Portuguese in a cross-sectional study with 110 participants recruited from a Dental School clinic. The sample was divided into two groups: 55 with periodontal disease and 55 without periodontal disease. The instrument was self-administered twice within an interval of 7 to 10 days for patients with periodontal disease. The psychometric properties of the Brazilian version were verified using internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and the reliability through the test-retest method (ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient), convergent validity (Spearman correlation), and discriminant validity (Mann-Whitney test), with p <0.05. Most of the sample consisted of women (n=69; ±40.65 years). The OHIP 14 DP - Br showed excellent internal consistency (α=0.997) and outstanding reliability using the test-retest method (ICC=0.945, p<0.001). There was a significant correlation between the scores obtained in all seven domains between this questionnaire and self-perceived gingival health (p=0.023). This study provides psychometric evidence supporting the cross-cultural validity of the OHIP 14 DP - Br version for use in Brazil.
