The prevalence of headache and mandibular dysfunction was studied in 43 patients with unsatisfactory complete dentures waiting for prosthodontic treatment at the Dental Clinic of the National Dental Service in Jokkmokk, Sweden. In addition to answering a questionnaire, all patients underwent a clinical-functional examination of the masticatory system. Seventeen patients (40%), 15 women and two men, reported recurrent headache. 63% of the men and 83% of the women showed marked clinical signs of mandibular dysfunction. A significant correlation between headache and mandibular dysfunction was found. The low representation of complete denture wearers in clinical series of patients referred for treatment of mandibular dysfunction may be due to a reduced propensity to seek help and a greater willingness to accept a certain degree of dysfunction compared with other people.
在瑞典约克莫克国家牙科服务中心牙科诊所,对43名等待修复治疗、佩戴全口义齿效果不佳的患者进行了头痛和下颌功能障碍患病率的研究。除了回答一份问卷外,所有患者都接受了咀嚼系统的临床功能检查。17名患者(40%),15名女性和2名男性,报告有复发性头痛。63%的男性和83%的女性表现出明显的下颌功能障碍临床体征。发现头痛与下颌功能障碍之间存在显著相关性。与其他人相比,下颌功能障碍临床治疗系列中全口义齿佩戴者的比例较低,可能是因为他们寻求帮助的倾向较低,并且更愿意接受一定程度的功能障碍。
