International RDC/TMD Consortium
A Designated Network of the International Association for Dental Research
Mission Statement
Our goal is to advance the scientific knowledge of temporomandibular disorders and related pain conditions through international consensus workshops and multi-site research based on the use of a common set of tools applicable to both research and clinical settings. The core tool that established the Consortium, the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), remains a model tool for pain research; we are actively engaged in the further development of that tool. Our methods include population studies, clinical epidemiology and clinical trials, and experimental human studies. Please contact us if you are interested in participating in our activities; our past meetings will give you an idea of what we do.
