Cross‐cultural validation of a short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile for temporomandibular disorders

Abstract

These results reveal a reasonable degree of cross-cultural consistency between the two versions of the OHIP, and thus indicate that our Italian version is valid.

Development and validation of a questionnaire to evaluate infection control in oral radiology

“…21,31 Owing to the lack of a questionnaire on infection control in oral radiology that could be considered the gold standard with which this new questionnaire could be compared, the validity of the criteria cannot be analyzed. 15,21,26,27 Therefore, the questionnaire was verified using construct validity, which itself was based on a factor analysis and the known-groups technique. 13,21 The factor analysis confirmed the default structure of the questionnaire, and some items were excluded or regrouped into new domains.…”

“…This multidisciplinary committee participated in the development of the questionnaire by performing adjustments and analyzing its clarity and representativity. 15,17,26,27 10 students from 1 of the participating public universities and who were already in supervised clinical practice (in their third, fourth and fifth years of dental school, which is considered an undergraduate degree in Brazil) participated in the pre-test phase. To press the exposure button (*) (F) To handle radiographic film or digital radiography receptors not contaminated with saliva (*) (G) To process the radiographic film (*) (H) When using the computer for the digital radiography system (*) (I) To handle the monitor, keyboard, mouse and/or printer of digital radiography system (*) (J) I don't use overgloves 9.…”

Correlation between oral health-related quality of life and clinical dysfunction index in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis

“…TMDs are thought to be the second most common cause of chronic orofacial pain, after dental pain (2). Previous studies indicate that at some stage of life 50 to 70% of the global population exhibits signs and symptoms of TMD, including pain, limited range of jaw movement, and TMJ noises (3,4). In epidemiological samples, 3 to 7% of individuals report seeking treatment for TMDs (5).…”

Adaptação transcultural de índices de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal

“…Com relação à tradução da linguagem original para a linguagem fonte, diversos métodos foram utilizados na literatura revisada, variando de uma simples tradução como a realizada por Ekanayake & Perera 14 e Kushnir et al 15 , a três traduções com tradutores que possuíam a lín-gua alvo como primeira língua 16,17 . Um estudo utilizou cinco dentistas na primeira tradução do instrumento.…”

“…Os mesmos problemas encontrados na tradução foram encontrados na retradução, destacando-se que o retradutor deve ser um indivíduo que tenha como primeira língua a utilizada no instrumento original, o que só foi realizado e relatado em dez estudos 12,13,16,17,18,27,28,29,30,31 .…”
