title: [The characteristics of formulating a diagnosis in diseases of the temporomandibular joint].
abstract: Classifications of temporomandibular diseases are discussed and formulations of diagnosis considered. The terms "articular dysfunction", "arthropathy", "arthritis", and "arthrosis" are defined and variants of their usage determined. A notion "arthralgia" is introduced as an individual nosological entity among temporomandibular diseases. The most frequent diagnostic errors are enumerated. The authors emphasize the undesirability of using some obscure terms and of diagnoses formulated as "arthrosis-arthritis" in diseases of the temporomandibular joint.
