Clinical predictors of persistent temporomandibular disorder in people with first-onset temporomandibular disorder A prospective case-control study

摘要

Background. When patients first develop a painful temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and seek care, 1 priority for clinicians is to assess prognosis. The authors aimed to develop a predictive model by using biopsychosocial measures from the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC-TMD) to predict risk of developing TMD symptom persistence.
