Temporomandibular Joint Involvement in Association With Quality of Life, Disability, and High Disease Activity in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Abstract: Clinical TMJ involvement in JIA is associated with higher disease activity, higher disability, and impaired HRQOL. Our findings indicate the need for dedicated clinical and imaging evaluation of TMJ arthritis, especially in children with cervical spine involvement, polyarticular course, and longer disease duration.

“…JIA is a heterogeneous group of arthritic diseases with an incidence rate of 1 or 2 cases per 1,000 persons worldwide (Schneider and Passo, ). JIA is characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints throughout the body, which can result in joint degradation (Frid et al, ). All joints can be affected, including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) (Weiss et al, ).…”

“…Untreated TMJ arthritis is particularly concerning in pediatric patients because a mandibular growth center is located directly beneath the thin fibrocartilage of the condylar head, making it particularly susceptible to arthritic damage [29]. Such damage can result in mandibular growth restriction, micrognathia, clockwise rotation of the mandible, anterior open bite, malocclusion, and facial asymmetry [19,[30][31][32][33], and negatively effects quality of life [16]. In the current study, CBCT imaging demonstrated TMJ abnormalities in 55% of joints, with at least one abnormal joint in 14 of 21 patients (67%).…”

“…Inflammatory TMJ arthritis can result in pain, functional limitation, occlusal instability, facial asymmetry and dentofacial deformity that may require operative correction [14,15]. TMJ arthritis has been shown to have a significant adverse impact on physical and psychosocial well-being of children with JIA when compared to those without TMJ involvement [16]. Inflammatory arthritis of the TMJ is often asymptomatic in its early stages [2,3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], even during times when active synovitis is identified on imaging [17], rendering physical examination insufficient for diagnosis.…”

“…When the TM complex is compromised, there is the potential for a wide variety of symptoms. Because a Temporomandibular Disorder can give rise to so many variable symptoms, making a proper diagnosis is rather dif icult [6]. The Temporomandibular Joint apparatus does not stand by itself, but is rather part of a highly balanced orthopaedic system including the head, neck, and shoulder regions.…”
