Abstract Background The need to evaluate the impact of oral health has led development instruments for measuring health-related quality life (OHQoL). One such instrument is Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ 11–14 ), developed specifically 11-to-14-year-old children. As this questionnaire was considered long (37 items), shorter forms were with 8 (Impact Short Form: – ISF:8) and 16 items ISF:16) facilitate use in clinical setting population-based surveys. aim present study translate...
