Abstract：
The prevalence of TMD indicates a need to develop new tools that are useful in the case of screening examinations. These methods can support diagnosis at the early stage of the disorder. The purpose of this research was to develop a comprehensive tool that would function as both a database of sounds generated by TMJ and as software which facilitates automated diagnosis. The software would also use the data from the RDC/TMD questionnaire. Such a tool may significantly reduce the time spent by dentists on making manual RDC/TMD diagnoses. Moreover, this solution would enable dentists who do not specialise in TMD to make effective diagnoses. 95 patient took part in the clinical examination: 30 man and 65 females. The mean age of the participants was 33 years. Patients participating in the clinical process were examined according to the Polish version of the RDC/TMD questionnaire (Axis I and Axis II). Subsequently, all subjects were auscultated with an electronic stethoscope. An application has been implemented based on the RDC/TMD diagnostic flow chart. This tool was used for the automated generation of RDC/TMD diagnoses for all patients. As a result of the kind permission and participation of the patients under examination, it was possible to store records of ninety-five people. Each record contains RDC/TMD questionnaire data, auscultation signals and RDC/TMD diagnoses. For the first time, a database was created that has the potential to facilitate further examination. However, the developed system is universal and can therefore be adapted to new DC/TMD criteria.
摘要：
TMD的流行表明需要开发在筛查检查中有用的新工具。这些方法可以支持疾病早期的诊断。这项研究的目的是开发一种综合工具，该工具既可以用作TMJ产生的声音数据库，也可以用作促进自动诊断的软件。该软件还将使用来自RDC/TMD问卷的数据。这种工具可以显著减少牙医在进行手动RDC/TMD诊断上花费的时间。此外，这种解决方案将使不擅长TMD的牙医能够进行有效的诊断。95例患者参加临床检查：男性30例，女性65例。参与者的平均年龄为33岁。根据波兰版本的RDC/TMD问卷（轴I和轴II）检查参与临床过程的患者。随后，所有受试者均用电子听诊器听诊。已经基于RDC/TMD诊断流程图实现了一个应用程序。该工具用于自动生成所有患者的RDC/TMD诊断。由于接受检查的患者的善意许可和参与，可以存储95个人的记录。每个记录包含RDC/TMD问卷数据，听诊信号和RDC/TMD诊断。第一次,建立了一个数据库，有可能促进进一步的检查。然而,开发的系统是通用的，因此可以适应新的DC/TMD标准。
