Adapting the diagnostic definitions of the RDC/TMD to routine clinical practice: a feasibility study.

Unlabelled: The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) is a well-known diagnostic tool for clinical trials on TMD.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the reliability, validity and feasibility of a new method of physically diagnosing temporomandibular disorders (TMD), designed for routine clinical use. This version, known as Clinical Examination Protocol-TMD (CEP-TMD), was compared to the gold standard original RDC/TMD.
