Abstract

The impact of the oral health in the quality of life has been a recurrent subject in scientific research. It knows that the oral disorders bring some type of impact to peoples life. Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11-14 (CPQ 11-14) it is an instrument that evaluates the impact of the oral conditions in the life of 11-14 years old adolescents and was developed for use in Canada, having presented validity and reliability. Caries and the malocclusions affects the peoples life so it was needed an instrument that measures this impact. The shortage of instruments of this type in Brazil took to the accomplishment of the translation and crossculturalcomparison of the CPQ 11-14 for the Portuguese language, carried through with 37 adolescents. The reliability of the instrument was considered good (alpha of Cronbach = 0,86) as well as the test-retest (CCI = 0,85). With satisfactory results, the instrument wasvalidated with 160 adolescents to verify its psychometric properties. The construct validity showed that the domains of the instrument presented good correlation with the global index of well-being overall. The global index of oral health showed no correlation with the domains social well-being. The discriminative validity showed that individuals withoutdental caries presented smaller scores for the CPQ 11-14 of what individuals with dental caries. The reliability presented the alpha coefficient of Cronbach of 0,86 and the stability presented the correlation coefficient intraclasse of 0,85. In this way, the CPQ 11-14, in theBrazilian version, presented validity and reliability.
