CONCLUSIONS: The DC/TMD provides a questionnaire for the pain history in conjunction with validated clinical examination criteria for diagnosing the most common TMDs. In addition, it provides Axis II questionnaires for assessing psychosocial and behavioral factors that may contribute to the onset and perpetuation of the patient’s TMD. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The DC/TMD is appropriate for use in clinical and research settings to allow for a comprehensive assessment of patients with TMD.
