of motion of the Research Diagnostic Criteria
of Temporomandibular Disorders – Polish Version",
abstract="Introduction. An important step in the implementation of the diagnostic criteria for scientific study is conducting reliability assessment of mandibular range of motion of the officially translated and culturally adapted Polish version of the RDC/TMD. Materials and Methods. A total of 123 adult patients who were referred for TMD consultation to the Dental Institute of Jagiellonian University in Cracow were invited to participate in the study. The patients were examined during two sessions with an interval of ten days by two examiners independently. The examination of the range of mandibular movements includes: vertical movements (i.e., unassisted opening without pain, maximum unassisted opening, maximum assisted opening), maximum horizontal movements to the left, to the right, and to the front. Results. For most measures, ICCs were larger than 0.75, which indicates excellent reliability. Conclusion. Reliability of mandibular range of motion of the Polish version of RDC/TMD is comparable with other world studies.  ",
