The aim of this study was to compare panoramic radiographic findings between subjects with reported facial pain and pain-free controls in a population-based sample of 34-year olds. The study was a part of a comprehensive medical survey including subjects born in the year 1966 in Northern Finland. A sub-sample of the cohort was formed based on the question concerning facial pain. A panoramic radiograph was taken of 48 subjects with facial pain and 47 pain-free controls. Pathological findings in the dentition, jaws, maxillary sinuses and temporomandibular joints (TMJs) were compared between the groups. The majority of the subjects in both groups did not have pathological findings. Compared with controls, the subjects with facial pain did not show significantly more pathological findings in the teeth, periodontium, maxillary sinuses, TMJs or in the other areas. Radiographic panoramic findings had no association with reported facial pain in the population-based sample of young adults, and have little impact on the diagnosis of facial pain.
本研究的目的是在一个基于人群的34岁样本中，比较报告有面部疼痛的受试者与无疼痛对照组之间的全景X线片检查结果。该研究是一项全面医学调查的一部分，调查对象为1966年出生于芬兰北部的人群。根据有关面部疼痛的问题，从该队列中形成了一个子样本。对48名有面部疼痛的受试者和47名无疼痛对照组进行了全景X线片拍摄。比较了两组在牙列、颌骨、上颌窦和颞下颌关节（TMJ）的病理检查结果。两组中的大多数受试者均无病理检查结果。与对照组相比，有面部疼痛的受试者在牙齿、牙周、上颌窦、颞下颌关节或其他区域并未显示出明显更多的病理检查结果。在这个基于人群的年轻成人样本中，全景X线片检查结果与报告的面部疼痛并无关联，对面部疼痛的诊断影响不大。
