Background: The Arabic version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (A-ECOHIS) has been validated, but its ability to detect change was not tested.
Aim: To evaluate the responsiveness of the A-ECOHIS to dental rehabilitation under general anaesthesia (DRGA).
Design: A consecutive sample of 131 parents of children aged 6 years or younger, scheduled for DRGA were recruited from three public hospitals.
