This study was designed to measure the degree of association between dental pain and its frequency during sickle cell crisis. Randomized study and control groups, each consisting of outpatient clinic patients, were selected. Each subject was interviewed via a questionnaire designed to record information describing immediate and past experiences of dental pain and its characteristics. The results were analyzed statistically. This investigation showed that there is an increase of dental pain, in the apparent absence of specific pathosis, in sickle cell patients during crisis. It was found that 36% of these patients had experienced some significant transitory pain in the oral-maxillofacial complex either alone or as part of the crisis syndrome.
本研究旨在测量镰状细胞危象期间牙痛与其发作频率之间的关联程度。选取了随机分组的研究组和对照组，每组均由门诊患者组成。通过一份旨在记录描述牙痛即时和既往经历及其特征信息的问卷对每位受试者进行访谈。对结果进行统计学分析。该调查显示，在明显没有特定病变的情况下，镰状细胞病患者在危象期间牙痛有所增加。结果发现，这些患者中有36%曾单独或作为危象综合征的一部分，在口腔颌面复合体经历过一些明显的短暂疼痛。
