Comparative StudyAdapting the diagnostic definitions of the RDC/TMD to routine clinical practice: a feasibility study.
The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) is a well-known diagnostic tool for clinical trials on TMD. ⋯ It was concluded that the CEP-TMD's diagnosis is comparable to the RDC/TMD thus providing a convenient and intuitive approach for dentists to physically diagnose TMD in clinical practice. The well-established RDC/TMD remains the gold standard for research diagnosis of TMD.
