The effect of age on condylar asymmetry in dentate patients has already been investigated and a clear relationship between these two variables was established both for a group with an arthrogenous origin and with myogenous origin of pain. In this study, the mean asymmetry index for an edentulous group of patients with a craniomandibular disorder of myogenous origin was found to be 12.55%, less than that for both dentate groups. There appeared to be no correlation between age and the asymmetry index in this group, suggesting that different mechanisms may be at work in the development of these disorders.
年龄对有牙患者髁突不对称性的影响已得到研究，并且在一组起源于关节源性疼痛和肌源性疼痛的患者中，这两个变量之间已建立了明确的关系。在本研究中，发现肌源性起源的颅下颌紊乱无牙患者组的平均不对称指数为12.55%，低于两个有牙组。该组中年龄与不对称指数之间似乎没有相关性，这表明在这些疾病的发展过程中可能存在不同的机制。
