Aim: The aim of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the “Assessment of Caries Diagnosis and Caries Treatment” questionnaire from the Dental Practice Based Research Network (DPBRN) into Brazilian Portuguese.
Methods: The questionnaire on dental practices related to diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and caries risk assessment underwent translation and cross-cultural adaptation following pre-established criteria: initial translation, back-translation, and committee review. During the pre-test, the questionnaire was filled out by 21 dentists in order to evaluate mistakes, to find deviations in the translations, and to identify the comprehension of the questions. After one week, 17 dentists filled out the questionnaires again to evaluate their reliability by means of the intra-class correlation test.
Results: The translation process showed that the term/sentences translated differently by distinct researchers were synonyms and indicated that the process was easily performed. Regarding the comprehension of the questionnaire, 95% (n=20) of the dentists showed no doubts / difficulty when filling it out. Reliability data showed that 42% (n=22) of the questions showed a satisfactory correlation, while 58% (n=31) showed an excellent correlation.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the translation and cross-cultural adaptation process of the questionnaire was performed satisfactorily, and the Brazilian version of the questionnaire was easily understood by the studied population.
