The German version of the OHAT is a reliable and valid tool for the assessment of oral health conditions of nursing home residents. When used by caregivers, instruction on the tool and practical training are mandatory to ensure reliable estimations. However, further studies with a larger sample size are encouraged to verify the outcomes of this study.
