For this purpose, the instrument created at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) went through the stages of translation, back-translation and cross-cultural adaptation by an expert group to be submitted afterwards to a pre-test with a group of dentists. To facilitate a clear interpretation. It was observed that some terms needed to be adapted for better interpretation, after which the instrument was considered easy to understand by professionals of the area of interest. To use the questionnaire for research in Brazil, further psychometrc validation is required.
