Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the the Chinese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for TMDs (OHIP-TMDs-C). Study Design: The OHIP-TMDs was initially translated and cross-culturally adapted to Chinese following international guidelines; then subsequently validated for the psychometric characteristics of reliability and validity. In total, 156 participants with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) were recruited to complete the questionnaire. The reliability of the OHIP-TMDs-C was evaluated using internal consistency and test-retest methods. The validity of the OHIP-TMDs-C was analysed by construct validity and convergent validity. Construct validity was determined based on factor analysis, and convergent validity by analyzing the correlation between OHIP-TMDs-C subscale scores and the global rating of oral health question. Results: Cronbach’s alpha value (internal reliability) for the total OHIP-TMDs-C score was 0.917 and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value (test–retest reliability) was 0.899. Construct validity was determined by factor analysis, extracting five factors, accounting for 78.6% of the variance. All items had factor loadings above 0.40. In terms of convergent validity, the OHIP-TMDs-C subscale was significant correlated to the global oral health rating. Conclusions: The results suggest that the OHIP-TMDs-C has good reliability and validity and thus may be used as a valuable instrument for patients with TMDs in China. Key words:Validation, TMDs, quality of life, questionnaire.

“…However, in the Netherlands, there are, on a national basis, no scientifically based guidelines in use for the diagnosis and treatment of halitosis. Nevertheless, several studies indicate that, given the potential social consequences of halitosis, it is vital for oral health professionals to make patients aware of the presence of halitosis and that they should be prepared to practice in a culturally diverse environment in a sensitive and appropriate manner, to provide optimal oral health and hygiene care to improve patients' oral health-related quality of life and well-being 10,[16][17][18][19][20] .…”

This study supports the importance of training programmes aimed at increasing assertiveness, as well as the social and communication skills of dentists and dental hygienists to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with halitosis. A guideline on screening, diagnosis and treatment of halitosis may be useful to improve the attitude and behaviour of oral health-care professionals, ultimately aimed at stimulating optimal oral health care.

“…15 The HALT is a specific instrument for the comprehensive evaluation of physical, social, and psychosocial negative impacts of halitosis in adults. 16 The HALT is comprised of 20 items rated with a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 to 5, where 0 corresponds to "no problem" and 5 to "as bad as it can be". The final score is calculated by the sum of the scores from the 20 items, varying from 0 to 100.…”

“…The HALT has been cross-culturally adapted and validated to a Chinese version, obtaining satisfactory psychometric properties. 16 Because of the lack of a validated Brazilian instrument that measures the impact of halitosis in self-perceived oral health-related quality of life considering the social-cultural reality in Brazil, the aim of the present study was to cross-culturally adapt the HALT to Brazilian Portuguese, and test the Brazilian version's (B-HALT) validity and reliability.…”

The present study aimed to validate (cross-culturally adapt and test psychometric properties) the Brazilian version of the Halitosis Associated Life-Quality Test (HALT). A process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation was conducted by a group of dental researchers. The first draft of the Brazilian Portuguese version was pretested on a sample of 33 individuals leading up to the final version of the questionnaire. The Brazilian version of the HALT (B-HALT) was applied to 100 individuals with halitosis (organoleptic score ≥ 2) and 100 individuals without halitosis (organoleptic score < 2). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to evaluate the dimensionality of B-HALT. Cronbach's alpha (α) and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to measure its reliability. For convergent validity, Spearman's correlation was conducted between the B-HALT and the organoleptic scores. The discriminant validity was evaluated through the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. EFA confirmed the unidimensionality of B-HALT, which has also demonstrated excellent internal consistency (α = 0.96) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.93). There was a positive correlation between B-HALT and organoleptic scores (r = 0.33; p < 0.001). B-HALT was able to discriminate between the groups with and without halitosis measured by the organoleptic method (p < 0.001) and self-reported halitosis (p < 0.001). B-HALT has demonstrated to be a reliable and valid tool to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life associated to halitosis in Brazilian adults.
