Oral behaviors in Chinese temporomandibular disorder patients: insights from exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses
NFA and FA subscale items were determined for Chinese TMDs patients. Despite item discrepancies, C-NFA and C-FA scores were strongly correlated with I-NFA and I-FA scores, respectively. The OBC can be effectively simplified for use with Chinese TMDs patients. Developing and validating an East-West short-form version of the OBC should be prioritized, given the variations in oral behaviors across countries and cultures.
