The aim of this study was to develop, verify the content validity and evaluate the effectiveness of an educational folder about mouthguard (MG) for children and adolescents (C/A) between the ages of eight and fifteen. The steps of development and content validity were carried out after a bibliographic search for an evidence-based literature on the subject, and the evaluation of MSc or PhD dentistry students and/or professors, education experts, as well as C/A (target group). The content validity index (CVI) for each item (I-CVI) and the total folder content validity index (F-CVI) after the PhD professors (judges) analysis was calculated. A questionnaire with assertions related to the content of the folder (indication, types and storage of MG, myths and truths about the device) was created, and the effectiveness of knowledge acquisition was evaluated by applying tests for paired data, considering C/A responses before and after reading the folder. Generalized and mixed linear model were used to evaluate unadjusted and adjusted associations, respectively. The sample power was also calculated. The I-CVI and F-CVI were 1.0, showing that the items were considered relevant, representative, showed good operability and were valid. Forty-four C/A of 10.9±2.24 years were included and, after reading the folder, the mean of correct answers had a significant increase (p<0.001). In the adjusted model, “reading the folder” influenced positively on the knowledge about MG (p<0.001). Sample power of 100% was obtained. The folder presented satisfactory content validity and should be considered as aninstrument capable of increasing the knowledge of C/A about MG.
