Abstract

The classification of TMD is hindered by limited knowledge of the cause and natural progression of these disorders. However, advancement in our knowledge must be conducted and is dependent upon an accepted taxonomy and correspondent criteria. The presented criteria are an attempt to improve clarity of definitions and operationalize the criteria. These criteria are intended for use by the clinician in the daily practice of diagnosing and treating TMD. They are to be used with good clinical judgement in the evaluation of individual patients suffering from TMD.

摘要

颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）的分类受到对这些疾病病因和自然病程了解有限的阻碍。然而，我们必须在知识方面取得进展，这取决于一个被认可的分类法和相应的标准。所提出的标准旨在提高定义的清晰度并使标准可操作化。这些标准供临床医生在日常诊断和治疗TMD时使用。在评估患有TMD的个体患者时，应结合良好的临床判断力使用这些标准。
