COMPARISON OF DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS DC/TMD AND RESEARCH DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS RDC/TMD IN EVALUATION OF TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS – A LITERATURE REVIEW
Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 17
Abstract
Introduction Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) affect 5% to 12% of population and are the second most common reason for musculoskeletal disorders causing pain and disability. Pain-related TMD has a negative impact on daily activities, psychosocial functioning and quality of life. It is important to find reliable diagnostic methods. None of the available diagnostic methods are perfect, but researchers constantly work on obtaining better and more accessible criteria. Aim The purpose of this article is to compare DC/TMD to RDC/TMD classification in order to demonstrate diagnostic classifications as a part of the ongoing process depending on increasing knowledge. Material and methods Literature review of PubMed database was conducted. Search was mostly limited to the last ten years and to authors of the described diagnostic criteria, as they represent the new approach to the etiology of TMD -multidimensional biopsychosocial model. Key words used were temporomandibular disorders, DC/TMD, RDC/TMD. Results The main differences between both classifications are: greater validity and reliability of DC/TMD, new diagnoses and simplifying of examination procedures. Conclusions 1. RDC/TMD are considered by authors as the first step in introducing reliable and valid DC/TMD. Diagnostic criteria should be permanently improved following progression of knowledge. 2. DC/TMD are the only evidence-based TMD diagnostic criteria which should be widely used to allow standardization.
