Objective: To develop and validate the Epidemiological Diagnostic Instrument for TMD (EDI/TMD).

Diagnostic and screening inventories for temporomandibular disorders: A systematic review.

 To evaluate reliable and validated temporomandibular disorder (TMD) diagnostic instruments for use as diagnostic tools in epidemiological surveys. Two independent reviewers performed searches in the Medline/PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to identify validation studies of diagnostic and screening instruments for TMD published up to March 2021. Sixteen studies were included for the systematic review.
