Abstract :Objectives: OHIP-EDENT is a shortened version of the Oral Health Impact Profile instrument The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the Turkish version of it insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OHIP-EDENT-TR); for the elderly population in Turkey. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 edentulous patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(72 males, 48 females; mean age 65.59 ± 7.61 years); who had complete prostheses were included in the study. The patients completed the OHIP-EDENT-TR, which was translated during this study, and a visual analogue scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(100 mm); twice at an interval of 3 months. Cronbach’s alpha was used to measure the internal consistency of the summary scores for the OHIP-EDENT-TR. The interclass correlation coefficient and 95% confidence interval of the summary scores for the OHIP-EDENT-TR and its subscales were calculated. Results: The lowest and highest reliabilities were obtained for questions 7 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 120, α = 0.888); and 2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(α = 0.931);, respectively. The reliability of the summary scores for the OHIP-EDENT-TR was good insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(α = 0.903);. There was a significant relationship between the OHIP-EDENT-TR scale and visual analogue scale scores insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p < 0.001);. These values were indicative of fair-to-excellent convergent validity. Conclusions: The Turkish version of OHIP EDENT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OHIP-EDENT-TR); is a reliable, valid and applicable scale for evaluating oral health related quality of life in the Turkish elderly patients.
