Abstract

Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a prevalent ailment with a global impact, affecting a substantial number of individuals. While some individuals are receiving treatment from orthodontists for TMD, a significant proportion of individuals obtain knowledge through websites.

Objectives: Our purpose had been to evaluate, from a patient-oriented perspective, the readability of home pages of websites scored in the 10 most prominent devoted to TMD. We also determined what level of education would have been needed to get an overview of the information on the websites under scrutiny. This approach ensures that our findings are centred on the patient experience, providing insights into how accessible and understandable websites about TMD.

Methods: We determined the top 10 patient-focused English language websites by searching for 'temporomandibular disorders' in the 'no country redirect' plugin of the Google Chrome browser (www.google.com/ncr). The readability of the texts was assessed using the Gunning fog index (GFI), Coleman Liau index (CLI), Automated readability index (ARI) Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), Flesch Kincald grade level (FKGL), Flesh reasing ease (FRE) (https://readabilityformulas.com).

Results: The mean Flesch reading ease index score was determined to be 48.67, accompanied by a standard deviation of 15.04 and these websites require an average of 13.49 years of formal education (GFI), with a standard deviation of 2.62, for ease of understanding.

Conclusion: Our research indicates that a significant proportion of websites related to TMD can be defined as a level of complexity that exceeds the ability to read comprehension of the general population.

在设计以患者为导向的可理解的颞下颌关节紊乱网上信息时应吸取的经验教训。
背景:颞下颌关节紊乱症(TMD)是一种具有全球性影响的普遍疾病,影响着相当多的人。虽然有些人正在接受正畸医生提供的 TMD 治疗,但很大一部分人是通过网站获得相关知识的:我们的目的是从面向患者的角度出发,对 10 个最著名的 TMD 网站首页的可读性进行评估。我们还确定了需要达到什么样的教育水平才能了解所审查网站的信息概况。这种方法可确保我们的研究结果以患者体验为中心,深入了解有关 TMD 的网站的可访问性和可理解性:我们通过在谷歌 Chrome 浏览器的 "无国家重定向 "插件中搜索 "颞下颌关节紊乱症",确定了前 10 个以患者为中心的英文网站 (www.google.com/ncr)。文章的可读性使用贡宁雾指数(GFI)、科尔曼-廖指数(CLI)、自动可读性指数(ARI)、简单阅读障碍测量法(SMOG)、弗莱什-金卡尔德等级水平(FKGL)、肉体阅读难易度(FRE)(https://readabilityformulas.com)进行评估。结果:这些网站平均需要 13.49 年的正规教育 (GFI),标准差为 2.62,才能易于理解:我们的研究表明,相当一部分与 TMD 相关的网站的复杂程度超出了普通人的阅读理解能力。

期刊介绍: Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function. Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology. The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
