Abstract

Introduction: Cooperation is a relevant therapeutic factor in achieving a successful orthodontic treatment result. In the case of adolescents, knowing cooperation level allows the orthodontist to consider behaviors and attitudes that contribute to treatment purposes. Objective: To Analyze the evidence of validity that measures collaboration in the orthodontic patient proposed by Slakter, Albino, Fox and Lewis in accordance with Wolfe and Smith´s guidelines. Methods: Validation study nested in a cohort study in which 132 adolescent patients under orthodontic treatment in Medellin Colombia were monitored between January 2014 and November 2015. It was estimated the locations and statistics for the adjustment of items, reliability, one-dimensionality and differential functioning by clinical and demographic characteristics of the participants. Wright's map is introduced. Results: Four items were removed from the scale. From the remaining six, a measure was obtained with a reliability of 0.74 and the capability to explain 74.9% of the variance. Differential functioning of the items was identified by type of malocclusion and interceptive orthodontic history. Conclusion: The validity of the measure is affected by limitations in constructing generalization according to relevant clinical characteristics of adolescents.
