AB  - BACKGROUND: This longitudinal study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal validity 
      and reliability of the Oral Health Impact on Daily Living (OHIDL) transition 
      scale and measure the perceived change in oral health-related quality of life 
      (OHRQoL) after dental treatments among older adults. METHODS: OHIDL was 
      administered to older adults who sought dental treatments. Participants were 
      asked to assess changes in impact for each OHIDL item retrospectively compared 
      with that before the treatment. The responsiveness, minimal clinically important 
      difference (MCID), internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the OHIDL 
      transition scale were evaluated. Multiple linear regression was employed to 
      predict the change in oral health impacts after dental treatment. Beta 
      coefficients (beta) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. RESULTS: One 
      hundred and seventy-six participants were followed-up with upon completing their 
      dental treatments. The follow-up rate was 70.4% (176/250). The OHIDL transition 
      score strongly correlated with the global rating of change (r(s) = 0.76, 
      P < 0.01). MCID was determined by participants who reported "a little improved" 
      in the perceived oral health impacts, and their mean transition score was 3.3. 
      Cronbach's alpha of the transition scale was 0.87, and many items had a 
      test-retest correlation of at least 0.60. Patients who perceived more oral health 
      impacts at baseline as measured by the total intensity score (beta = 0.32, 95% CI: 
      0.20, 0.44, P < 0.001) and those who had received endodontic treatment (beta = 8.04, 
      95% CI: 4.36, 11.71, P < 0.001) would have more improvement in perceived oral 
      health impacts. CONCLUSIONS: The OHIDL transition scale has good psychometric 
      properties and is sensitive to change over time. After receiving dental 
      treatment, most of the study's older adults perceived a lower intensity of OHIDL. 
      CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The OHIDL transition scale is a valid and reliable instrument 
      to measure the change in OHRQoL after dental treatments.
