Resumen

PENA, Gabriela et al. Agreement between Diagnostic Criteria RDC/TMD and its update DC/TMD, applied to the inflammatory pathology of the Temporomandibular Joint. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil. Oral [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.2, pp.70-73. ISSN 0719-0107.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-01072019000200070.

Aim:

To assess the agreement between the prevalence of inflammatory joint disorders (IJD) obtained with Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) and Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD).

Materials and methods:

59 Chilean adult patients were examined according to Axis I of the RDC/TMD and Axis I of the DC/TMD to determine prevalence of IJD. Then, the results obtained from each protocol were compared with Cohen’s Kappa test to assess the agreement between them.

Results:

The prevalence of IJD for both criteria was 22%, with almost perfect agreement (kappa = 0.91). When comparing the prevalences of IJD per joint, a substantial agreement (kappa = 0.77) was obtained for the right TMJ and an almost perfect agreement (kappa = 0.94) for the left TMJ. When comparing the prevalences of IJD according to gender and age, a statistically significant agreement was obtained in the majority of cases.

Conclusion:

There is statistically significant agreement between the data obtained with the RDC/TMD and the DC/TMD, in the diagnosis of inflammatory joint disorders.

Palabras clave : Inflammatory joint disorders (IJD); RDC/TMD; DC/TMD; TMJ.
