The dentist examines the patient
Twenty-six guided questions and clinical findings lead the dentist through the chairside functional examination.
Clinical TMD screening
TMD screening performed by the dentist in the clinic
Bitenostic guides the dentist through the clinical TMD examination while the patient is in the chair. Findings become a consistent classification, supplementary diagnoses and record-ready documentation.
From clinical findings to classification
A structured TMD examination for the consultation itself
TMD screening is the dentist's in-clinic tool. It guides questions, palpation, movement and other findings in a fixed sequence without replacing professional judgement.

Frequently asked questions about TMD screening
What is TMD screening in Bitenostic?
It is a guided clinical examination performed by the dentist with the patient in the clinic. Bitenostic structures the findings and calculates an indicative TMD classification.
Is TMD screening a pre-visit questionnaire?
No. TMD screening takes place in the clinic and requires the dentist's questions and clinical findings. Pre-examination questionnaires are a separate feature.
Does Bitenostic diagnose on its own?
No. The classification is decision support. The dentist always evaluates it alongside the clinical examination and any need for additional investigation.
Is jaw joint pain the same as TMD?
TMD covers pain and functional problems in the jaw joint and chewing muscles. Jaw joint pain is therefore one of the most common symptoms the screening helps the clinic uncover and structure.
