| Summary: | Abstract: Background: In Mexico, there is no available instrument based on a
biopsychosocial model to evaluate the impact of periodontal disease on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL). The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14)
was developed in Australia and the United States based on the same model and can
be adapted to evaluate the impact of periodontal disease on OHRQL. Objectives:
To adapt the OHIP-14 questions to periodontal disease evaluation and validate the
content of this new instrument. Materials and Methods: One expert in periodontics
and one expert in health psychology adapted the OHIP-14 to evaluate the impact
of periodontal disease on OHRQL, creating the Oral Health Impact Profile applied
to Periodontal Disease (OHIP-14-PD). Using the format proposed by Escobar and
Cuervo, five experts in periodontics and public health performed the OHIP-14-PD
content validation. Results: Item 7 had a compliance rate of 80% for clarity, and
the other items, a compliance rate of 100%, for clarity, sufficiency, coherence and
relevance. The kappa coefficient showed perfect agreement for items 1 to 6 (k= 1)
and 8 to 14, and very high agreement for item 7 (k= 0.967). Conclusion: The OHIP14-PD shows content validity.
