The frequency of occurrence of 20 signs and symptoms commonly associated with mandibular dysfunction was used to numerically rate the clinical severity of mandibular dysfunction. Some signs and symptoms had a clearly direct relationship whereas other signs demonstrated a diminished direct relationship, no relationship, or an inverse relationship in advanced dysfunction stages. Further study is needed to determine if there exists an exact relationship of some clinical signs to mandibular dysfunction.
20种通常与下颌功能紊乱相关的体征和症状的出现频率被用于对下颌功能紊乱的临床严重程度进行数字评分。一些体征和症状有明显的直接关系，而其他体征在功能紊乱晚期表现出直接关系减弱、无关系或呈反比关系。需要进一步研究以确定某些临床体征与下颌功能紊乱之间是否存在确切关系。
