Objectives: The aims of this study were to develop a German version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire for children aged 8 to 10 years (CPQ-G8-10), a measure of oral health-related quality of life, and to assess the instrument's reliability and validity.

Methods: The original English version of the CPQ8-10 questionnaire was translated into German (CPQ-G8-10) by a forward-backward translation method. A total of 409 8- to 10-year-old children who were recruited at the Department of Paediatric Dentistry in Vienna, Austria, participated in this study.
