Popis: This paper offers a working diagnostic classification scheme that is intended for use at the first clinical appointment for patients with TM disorders. It does not differentiate between muscle-induced and nonmuscle-induced disk interference disorders. This study was designed to measure the occurrence of specific diagnoses in one clinical practice, delineate what to expect from conservative management, and analyze resultant data to determine the predominance of any malocclusion types in the development of TM disorder symptoms. The sample comprised 295 patients, producing 351 specific diagnoses.
