“…There was no uniformity in the tests performed by the instruments to verify the construct validity, however, positive results were found in the instruments that presented this parameter. For criterion validity, different tests and desirable results were used in most studies that met this criterion [47,53,59,[60][61][62][63].…”

This study aimed to identify the instruments used to measure the quality of life related to oral health (HRQoL) as well as the measures that were adapted for the Portuguese language of Brazil. This is an integrative review whose inclusion criteria were papers in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published and indexed in databases Medline (PubMed) and Virtual Health Library (BVS). One thousand two hundred and sixty papers submitted, fifty-five were considered eligible for review, from which the following information was extracted: instrument; composition; community; sample size; measured domains / dimensions; and author, year, country. Subsequently, the data related to the translation and cultural adaptation processes for the Portuguese language of Brazil were collected in order to evaluate the psychometric properties of each study. The studies of this review show that the HRQoL theme has remained in evidence since the creation of the first instruments and seems not to be close to being exhausted. Of the 36 instruments presented, only 17 articles were identified in the databases assessed for cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese and validation of psychometric properties. Thus, despite the enormous dissemination of instruments, the need for translation, adaptation in the language and analysis of psychometric properties was pointed out in this study.

“…This questionnaire instrument focuses on ten basic daily activities, namely, eating, talking, cleaning the mouth, performing light physical activities, sleeping, relaxing, smiling, having emotional states, going out, and enjoying interacting with others. [14][15][16] In addition, the influence of daily life performance on oral caries aims to provide alternative sociodental indicators, focusing on measuring a person's ability to carry out the indicated daily activities with the condition of the oral caries. The results of the OIDP questions concerned with the general health conditions of children aged <5 years who often have toothache and dental caries indicated a significant correlation between the incidence rate of dental caries and the frequency of having toothache.…”

Background: Oral health is important for general health and quality of life. One of the oral diseases with a high prevalence in Indonesia is dental caries. Dental caries can cause limiting disturbances of daily activities such as biting, chewing, smiling and talking, and of psychosocial well-being, including development and general health of children. Purpose: This study aims to analyse the correlation of dental caries incidence rate with general health conditions and daily performance of children aged 2–5 years. Methods: This was an analytical observational cross-sectional study. The study sample was 103 pairs of children and their mothers, selected using cluster random sampling technique. Intra-oral examination was conducted on the children to obtain decay, missing, filled-teeth (DMF-T) index score. Information about oral impacts on daily performance (OIDP) of the children was collected through a questionnaire distributed to the mothers. The data obtained were statistically analysed with a regression test (p < 0.05). Results: It was found that dental caries had a significant correlation with general health (p = 0.00) and daily performance, including chewing function disorder (p = 0.00), difficulties in maintaining oral health (p = 0.039), sleep disorders (p = 0.00), and emotional instability (p = 0.00). Conclusion: The incidence rate of dental caries has a significant effect on the general health conditions and daily performance of children aged 2–5 years.

“…The impact of the orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances on the OHRQoL of adolescents was evaluated using the IFAM specific condition questionnaire. This questionnaire was developed in England (Mandall et al, 2006) and translated and transculturally adapted for use on the Brazilian population (B-IFAM) (Rebouças et al, 2018).…”

“…In 2006, a group of British researchers proposed a specific condition questionnaire, entitled the Impact of Fixed Appliances Measure ( IFAM ), for the evaluation of the impact of orthodontic treatment on the quality of life of adolescents (Mandall et al, 2006). This instrument was translated into Portuguese, and transculturally adapted and validated in Brazil, thus producing the version to be used on the Brazilian population (B-IFAM) (Rebouças et al, 2018). Therefore, the objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate, through the B-IFAM, the impact of the first six months of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances on the OHRQoL of adolescents, comparing boys and girls.…”

Objective: To evaluate the impact of the first six months of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of adolescents, comparing boys and girls, using a specific condition questionnaire. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil Participants: Adolescents aged 10–17 years. Methods: Forty-six adolescents participated in this study. Adolescents’ OHRQoL was evaluated using the Brazilian version of the questionnaire Impact of Fixed Appliances Measure. This questionnaire comprises 43 questions distributed across nine domains: aesthetics; functional limitation; dietary impact; oral hygiene impact; maintenance impact; physical impact; social impact; time constraints; and travel/cost/inconvenience implications. The answer options follow the Likert scale, in the range of 1–5. A higher score indicates a more negative impact on the OHRQoL. Adolescents’ malocclusion was assessed using the Dental Aesthetic Index. Information on family income, adolescents’ age and tooth extraction was also collected. A directed acyclic graph was used to identify potential confounders. Statistical analysis involved the chi-square test, the Student’s t test and the analysis of covariance. The minimal clinically important difference was also calculated. Results: Of the 46 participants, 25 were girls and 21 were boys. The female adolescents presented a more negative impact from the orthodontic treatment on the quality of life when compared to the male adolescents ( P < 0.001), regardless of the influence of the confounding variables. The most negative repercussions were identified in the domains of oral hygiene ( P = 0.002), physical impact ( P < 0.001) and social impact ( P < 0.001). Conclusion: The impact of the first six months of orthodontic treatment on OHRQoL is more negative in female individuals than in male individuals. The results of this study may be useful for the oral healthcare provider during the counselling of adolescents undergoing fixed appliance therapy.
