A total of 201 completely edentulous patients awaiting treatment for new complete dentures at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne were examined for signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders, and a history was taken regarding their dentures. Statistical analysis by means of Student's t-test showed that the only reliable indicator of craniomandibular disorder was the patient's sex, i.e. female subjects tend to show more symptoms of craniomandibular disorders than male subjects. When regression and multiple regression analyses were applied, it was found that subjects with a history of fewer sets of complete dentures worn appeared to be correlated with an increase in the number of signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders. However, this correlation had a weak predictive power, although it was significant enough to indicate that such a relationship could exist in the general population.
对墨尔本皇家牙科医院201名等待新全口义齿治疗的无牙颌患者进行了颅下颌紊乱症的体征和症状检查，并记录了他们佩戴义齿的情况。采用学生t检验进行统计分析，结果表明颅下颌紊乱症唯一可靠的指标是患者的性别，即女性患者比男性患者更容易出现颅下颌紊乱症的症状。应用回归分析和多元回归分析时发现，佩戴全口义齿数量较少的患者似乎与颅下颌紊乱症体征和症状数量的增加有关。然而，这种相关性的预测能力较弱，尽管其显著性足以表明这种关系可能在普通人群中存在。
