OBJECTIVES This study aims to compare the epidemiological data of three cohorts of dysfunctional patients attending to the Clinical Gnathology Service of Policlinico Umberto I University Hospital - Sapienza University of Rome, in order to highlight the salient characteristics of Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and patients who are affected, and understand their evolution over time.

BACKGROUND:
The revised Porto criteria identify subtypes of paediatric inflammatory bowel diseases: ulcerative colitis [UC], atypical UC, inflammatory bowel disease unclassified [IBDU], and Crohn's disease [CD]. Others have proposed another subclassifiction of Crohn's colitis. In continuation of the Porto criteria, we aimed to derive and validate criteria, termed "PIBD-classes," for standardising the classification of the different IBD subtypes.
