To detect accuracy of serology in diagnosis of temporomandibular joint arthritis.
According to a search of previously published studies on accuracy of serology no sensitivity or specificity data was found regarding accurate detection of arthritis through serology, hence the aim of this study is to detect accuracy of serology in diagnosis of temporomandibular joint arthritis.
