Abstract :This is a methodological study for the adaptation of the \"Health Literacy Dentistry Scale-Short Form (HeLD-14)\" in Turkish . 30 participants were reached in language validity and 50 participants in retest reliability. The SPSS and AMOS programs were used to analyze. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was 0.875, the Barlett Spherical Test chi-square was 3715.076 (p<0.001). In EFA, a four-factor structure was obtained, which explained 71.211% of the total variance, with an eigenvalue above one. In CFA, χ2 /DF, RMSEA, GFI values of the model consisting of four dimensions and 12 items are acceptable; AGFI, SRMR and CFI values were in perfect agreement. Cronbach\'s alpha was calculated as 0.910 for EFA, 0.860 for CFA, the Spearman-Brown was 0.801 and the Guttman Split-half value was 0.799. In convergent and divergent validity assessments, it was observed that all conditions were met, except that the AVE value for the comprehension dimension was below 0.50 and the reliability value for the support dimension was below 0.70. A very strong positive correlation was found between scale scores in retest reliability (r=0.803, p<0.001). In terms of validity of the criteria, there was a moderate positive correlation to the TSOY-32 score (r=0.687, p<0.001). Consisting of the sub-dimensions of Comprehension/Understanding, Support, Economic barriers and Service use the ADSOY-12 scale has been seen as a valid and reliable tool for measuring oral and dental literacy in adults in Turkish culture.Keywords : Halk sağlığı, Sağlık okuryazarlığı, Diş hekimliği, Ağız sağlığı, Geçerlilik ve Güvenilirlilik
