A review of the literature on electrodiagnostic devices indicates that current studies have not substantiated claims regarding the utility of these devices in clinical dentistry. Research design problems, such as inadequate control subjects and use of inappropriate statistical tests, limit the conclusions that can be drawn from the results of these studies. Further research, including measurements of sensitivity and specificity, is needed in order to indicate the diagnostic utility of jaw tracking or electromyography in clinical dentistry.
对电诊断设备相关文献的综述表明,目前的研究尚未证实这些设备在临床牙科中的效用。研究设计问题,如对照对象不足和使用不恰当的统计测试,限制了从这些研究结果中得出的结论。为了表明颌骨追踪或肌电图在临床牙科中的诊断效用,需要进行进一步的研究,包括敏感性和特异性的测量。
