Conclusions Our results confirm that there is a significant positive association between TMDs and JHS, highlighting that patients with disc-related TMDs are more likely to experience JHS than patients with TMDs without disc disorders.

Inter- and intra-test agreement of three commercially available molecular diagnostic tests for the identification of periodontal pathogens
