This study aimed to validate the Child's and Parent's Questionnaire about Teeth Appearance and to evaluate concerns relative to fluorosis among 213 pairs of parents and 12-year-old children from two regions of Brazil. Reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient, and construct and criterion validity by Spearman's correlations. Student t-test was used to compare the two regions and to assess parent/child agreement. Internal consistency was acceptable, and test-retest reliability was moderate to excellent. Perception of moderate to severe fluorosis and clinical data were significantly correlated, as were perception of fluorosis and subjects' concerns. Although parents from Rafael Arruda, Ceará State, showed a higher perception of fluorosis, parental concern was greater in Piracicaba, São Paulo State. Parents were more worried and dissatisfied with their children's dental appearance than the children themselves. This version of the questionnaire proved to be valid and reliable for assessing children's and parents' perceptions of dental fluorosis.
本研究旨在验证儿童及家长牙齿外观问卷，并评估巴西两个地区213对家长和12岁儿童对氟斑牙的担忧。通过克朗巴哈系数和组内相关系数评估信度，通过斯皮尔曼相关性评估结构效度和效标效度。采用学生t检验比较两个地区，并评估家长/儿童的一致性。内部一致性可接受，重测信度为中等至优秀。对中度至重度氟斑牙的认知与临床数据显著相关，对氟斑牙的认知与受试者的担忧也显著相关。尽管来自塞阿拉州拉斐尔·阿鲁达的家长对氟斑牙的认知较高，但圣保罗州皮拉西卡巴的家长担忧程度更高。家长比孩子自己更担心并对孩子的牙齿外观不满意。该问卷版本被证明在评估儿童和家长对氟斑牙的认知方面有效且可靠。
