This study investigated the relationship between health status (i.e., physical well-being and quality of life), sleep disorders (e.g., insomnia, sleep-related depression and anxiety), and musculoskeletal pain in the craniomandibular and cervical spinal regions. The number of painful body areas below the cervical spine (i.e., widespread pain) was also taken into account. Two questionnaires, viz., the RAND 36-item Health Survey Questionnaire and the Dutch Sleep Disorders Questionnaire (SDQ), were administered to 103 persons who could unequivocally be classified into one of four mutually exclusive groups: No pain, craniomandibular pain (CMP), cervical spinal pain (CSP), and both CMP and CSP. Body drawings were used for the self-report of widespread pain. Multivariate analysis of variance showed effects of gender, group, and widespread pain on the questionnaire scales; not of age. As shown by univariate analysis of variance, men suffered more from sleep apnea than did women. No other gender differences were found. Simple contrast analyses following univariate analyses of the group and widespread pain effects showed that, in general, more questionnaire scales, both of the RAND-36 and of the SDQ, reached statistical significance with an increase in the number of painful areas. It was concluded that both musculoskeletal pain in the trigemino-cervical area and widespread body pain are associated with an increased impairment of health status. Also, sleep disorders are frequently found in patients with chronic pain in the craniomandibular and cervical spinal regions as well as in patients with widespread pain. The more painful areas there are, the likelier it is that sleep disorders are present.

Stafne bone cavity (SBC) is a rare lingual bone depression that is asymptomatic and contains salivary glands. Radiographically, an SBC is usually seen as well-defined homogenous oval radiolucency in the mandibular posterior region, below the mandibular canal. In this paper, a rare case of posterior-variant, double SBCs was presented. A 43-year old male patient was referred to our clinic with the complaint of third molar teeth. Panoramic and cone-beam computed tomographic images showed two well-defined oval radiolucencies on the left mandibular molar region, inferior to mandibular canal borders. No pain or swelling was detected in the region of the radiolucencies. Previous dental radiographs had the same images. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to evaluate the presence of salivary gland in the radiolucent contents. Images showed that the bone cavities were filled with soft tissue having a signal similar to the submandibular gland. The diagnosis was made as double SBCs and the patient was informed about the lesions.
