French Version of the Orofacial Esthetic Scale

"The first seven items of OES refer to face, facial profile, mouth, teeth alignment, teeth form, teeth color and gums. They are combined into an OES summary score ranging from 0 to 70. The eight item of OES is an overall impression item and is not included in the summary score.~Internal Consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha and inter-item correlation for the OES scores (n=140).~Test-Retest Reliability was assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. Patients with prosthetic needs (n=20 PP-E subjects and n=15 PP-NE subjects) completed twice the OES-F at an interval of two weeks.~Convergent validity was assessed by comparing mean OES summary scores evaluated by participant of the esthetic group (PP-E, n=35) and by an expert group. Expert OES score were based on three photographs of each participant.~Discriminative validity was tested by comparing the OES summary scores using a one-way ANOVA and Scheffe post hoc test."
