The article discusses the development and purpose of the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) for temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which was established to create standardized clinical case definitions with reproducibility across clinicians and researchers. The RDC project was based on empirical data from longitudinal epidemiological research and aimed to improve diagnosis, prognostic studies, and treatment effectiveness. The criteria were derived from a literature review of diagnostic methods and validated through reproducibility studies. | '''Abstract:''' The article discusses the development and purpose of the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) for temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which was established to create standardized clinical case definitions with reproducibility across clinicians and researchers.

The RDC adopts a two-axis diagnostic model: Axis I covers clinical diagnoses, classifying TMD into three groups: muscle conditions, meniscal dislocation, and joint disorders such as arthralgia and arthritis. Axis II addresses the psychosocial and pain-related disability of patients. The RDC emphasizes precise measurements and structured questionnaires to avoid ambiguous clinical descriptions. | The RDC adopts a two-axis diagnostic model: Axis I covers clinical diagnoses, classifying TMD into three groups: muscle conditions, meniscal dislocation, and joint disorders such as arthralgia and arthritis.
