Abstract
|
|
|
Two hundred seventeen dentists(graduate and postgraduate students) and two hundred fifty eight junior and senior dental students in Korea were surveyed to gain information on their understanding on the cause, diagnosis and treatment of Temporomandibular disorders(TMD).
A survey instrument examining knowledge and deliefs in four domains (pathophysiology, psychophysiology, chronic pain and psychiatric disorders) was used.
The responses of the graduate and postgraduate students and junior and senior dental students in Korea were compared to the responses of TMD and chronic pain experts in America.
Results indicated that they generally agreed with experts in the psychophysiological and psychiatric disorders domains but disagreed with the experts in the chronic pain and pathophysiology domains.
