wTMD–pTMD, when the proportion of the presence of variable was significantly different between wTMD and pTMD groups; wTMD–iTMD, when the proportion of the presence of variable was significantly different between wTMD and iTMD groups; pTMD–iTMD, when the proportion of the presence of variable was significantly different between pTMD and iTMD groups; n.s., when there was no significant difference between groups; VAS, visual analog scale; TMD, temporomandibular disorder; PI, palpation index; DI, dysfunction index; CMI, craniomandibular index; CMO, comfortable mouth opening; MMO, maximum mouth opening; SD, standard deviation.
