The current study aimed to explore the effect of clinic location and referring physicians on the distribution of Axis I diagnoses according to the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC\/TMD). Eighty-eight patients from a dental school Orofacial Pain Clinic (DentalOFP) and 104 patients from a hospital Orofacial Pain Clinic (HospitalOFP) were examined by the same dentist who was certified as a DC\/TMD examiner and compared. Significant differences between the two clinics were noted, including age (p = 0.002), gender (p = 0.019), symptom duration (p &lt; 0.001), and referring physician\u2019s profile (p &lt; 0.001). While 55.7% of referring physicians were dentists in the DentalOFP clinic, only 13.5% of referring physicians were dentists in the HospitalOFP clinic. DentalOFP clinic presented with characteristics of a tertiary clinic, as to female: male ratio and longer symptom duration. Significant differences were found as to intra-articular disorders (IAD) (p = 0.019), degenerative joint disorder (DJD) (p = 0.041), and subluxation (p = 0.015). There were no significant differences as to local myalgia (p = 0.128), myofascial pain with referral (p = 0.389), and arthralgia (p = 0.096). Multiple parameters, such as age, gender, symptom duration, primary vs. tertiary clinic, clinic location, and referring physicians may affect the overall DC\/TMD Axis I profile. This study supports abandoning the term TMD. It is suggested to assess each Axis I diagnosis separately, and for each Axis I diagnosis, to follow the International Classification of Orofacial Pain (ICOP), as to primary vs. secondary etiologies, and acute vs. chronic conditions, to provide appropriate treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22514\/jofph.2024.040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,12]],"date-time":"2024-12-12T08:06:25Z","timestamp":1733990785000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Axis I diagnosis profile according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC\/TMD): comparison between hospital-based orofacial pain clinic and dental academic-based orofacial pain clinic"],"prefix":"10.22514","member":"26027","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"container-title":["Journal of Oral &amp; Facial Pain and Headache"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,12]],"date-time":"2024-12-12T08:06:26Z","timestamp":1733990786000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jofph.com\/articles\/10.22514\/jofph.2024.040"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22514\/jofph.2024.040","relation":{},"ISSN":["2333-0376","2333-0384"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2333-0376","type":"electronic"},{"value":"2333-0384","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}}}
