%X <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC-TR).<BR><B>METHODS: </B>The study included 223 patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and 94 individuals without TMD. Face and content validity were analyzed. Structural (with confirmatory factor analysis [CFA]), convergent (with pain intensity, Fonseca Anamnestic Index [FAI], Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS], and Oral Health Impact Profile [OHIP-14]), divergent (with active pain-free maximum mouth opening [MMO]), and discriminant validity were investigated to evaluate the construct validity. Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability were computed.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Face and content validity were satisfactory. The CFA has verified the structural validity of the OBC-TR. Strong associations between the OBC-TR score and pain intensity (r = 0.88), FAI (r = 0.90), HADS (r = 0.82-0.86), and OHIP-14 (r = 0.83) scores, and MMO (r = -0.85) verified the convergent and divergent validity of the OBC-TR. Concerning discriminant validity, the OBC-TR discriminated between patients with TMD and individuals without TMD (p < 0.05). Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.91) were satisfactory.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The OBC-TR is a valid and reliable instrument to measure the frequency of oral parafunctional behaviors in Turkish-speaking patients with TMD.
