“…However, these symptoms can also occur in isolation without the presence of TMDs. Several studies had also demonstrated better validity 14,21,28 and reliability 14,20,21,28 for the short-form FAI. Future work on the development of new TMDs screeners based on conceptual models of both the DC/TMD and FAI is necessary.…”

“…TMJ sounds such as clicking or popping noises during chewing or mouth opening are, however, characteristics of TMDs and previous studies have shown that item 7 is a major item of the primary dimension of the FAI, even in its shortened form. 14,21,28 Hence, deletion of item 7 was not recommended. Moreover, other researchers had reported an acceptable internal consistency coefficient of 0.56 for the FAI.…”

Background The Fonseca anamnestic index (FAI) offers a simple, low‐cost, patient‐reported method for screening temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Objectives This study described the development of the Chinese version of the FAI (FAI‐C) and examined its reliability and validity when compared to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). Methods The FAI‐C was created by translation and cross‐cultural adaptation of the English instrument following international guidelines. Psychometric evaluation of the FAI‐C was carried out on a sample of 613 patients with TMDs and 57 controls. Reliability of the FAI‐C was determined by means of internal consistency and test‐retest methods while validity was ascertained by criterion‐related validity. Criterion validity was examined via Cohen's kappa, sensitivity and specificity when compared with DC/TMD Axis I diagnoses. Results Cronbach's alpha value (internal consistency) for total FAI‐C score was 0.669, and intra‐class correlation coefficient (ICC) value (test‐retest reliability) was 0.823. For criterion validity, kappa coefficient value was 0.633 while sensitivity and specificity was 95.9% and 71.9%, respectively. Conclusion The Chinese version of the FAI demonstrated acceptable reliability and good validity. The FAI‐C could thus be used as an instrument for screening TMDs in Chinese literate populations.
