This research based on examination of primary medical records of 1906 patients aged 61 to 89 years, including 2978 prescribing lists made by stomatologists - orthopedists to dental outpatient's card. This research shows that in case of outpatient conditions in the primary examination of patients of elderly and senile age stomatologists pay attention to joint pathology in the presence of acute patients' complaints, caused by TMJ's displacement, arthritis, painful TMJ's dysfunction or pronounced sound phenomena of TMJ. Stomatologists examine TMJ's pathology more particularly. The TMJ's pathology complicates the tooth replacement made to patients contrary to absence of indications of disease presence in primary medical records. The prepared conclusion and recommendations allow improving the outpatient diagnosis of TMJ's pathology.
