The Spanish Language 5-Item Oral Health Impact Profile.

Objective: To test validity and reliability of the Spanish version of the 5-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-Sp5).

Methods: Spanish-speaking dental patients (n = 331, response rate = 61%, age: 42.9 + 12.

Measuring patients' orofacial appearance: Validity and reliability of the English-language Orofacial Esthetic Scale.

Background: This study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the English-language version of the Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES-E) in a population of dental patients.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1,784 English-speaking, adult dental patients (mean age, 56.7 [standard deviation, 15.

Development, validity and reliability of the Orofacial Esthetic Scale - Spanish version.

Purpose: To develop a Spanish version of the Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES-Sp) and to determine its psychometric properties in dental patients.

Methods: We performed a validation study for OES development and validation into Spanish. In the development phase, eight individuals participated in the translation process (cross-cultural adaptation) following the PROMIS methodology.

A randomized clinical trial on the efficacy of a new oxalate-containing sensitivity relief strip following professional vs self-application.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of 3.14% dipotassium oxalate monohydrate-containing strip on the relief of dentinal hypersensitivity (DH). A second objective was to determine whether there was a difference in DH levels when the strip was self-applied vs applied by a dental professional.

Fatigue failure of dentin-composite disks subjected to cyclic diametral compression.

Objective: Our aim was to establish the relationship between cyclic loading and fatigue life of the dentin-composite interface using the newly developed disk in diametral compression tests. The results were then used to estimate the fatigue life of restored teeth under occlusal loading.

Methods: Disk specimens (5mm dia.
