Abstract：
The factors differentiating temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain from tooth pain is of interest to dentists. Prior to receiving therapy, participants answered the six-question TMD Pain Screener questionnaire. Applying validated Diagnostic Guidelines for TMD (DC/TMD), an orofacial pain specialist and endodontic resident with board certification performed endodontic and TMD examinations. In our study, sensitivity was higher for TMD screener regarding identification of all types of TMDs (0.94 (0.80-0.97), TMD pain not referring to teeth (0.94 (0.76-0.98), TMD pain referring to teeth only (0.94 (0.64-1.00)). TMD Pain Screener questionnaire can be applied in identification of TMDS in patient seeking endodontic therapy.
摘要：
区分颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）疼痛和牙齿疼痛的因素是牙医感兴趣的。在接受治疗之前，参与者回答了六个问题的TMD疼痛筛查问卷。应用经过验证的TMD诊断指南(DC/TMD),口面疼痛专家和具有委员会认证的牙髓住院医师进行了牙髓和TMD检查。在我们的研究中,TMD筛选器识别所有类型的TMD的灵敏度更高(0.94(0.80-0.97)，TMD疼痛不指牙齿（0.94（0.76-0.98），TMD疼痛仅指牙齿（0.94（0.64-1.00））。TMD疼痛筛查问卷可用于寻求牙髓治疗的患者的TMDS鉴定。
