“…This encouraging finding has been reported previously (Toller, 1973;Greene & Markovic, 1976;Ogus & Toller, 1981;Rasmussen, 1982) but it deserves to be emphasised again. In all patients in this study, only simple conservative treatment methods have been used.…”

A follow-up study on 154 females was performed approximately 7 years after the start of treatment for TMJ pain dysfunction. At the follow-up the function of the patients' masticatory system had on average greatly improved. The individual variation was great, however. In this paper the influence of such factors as diagnosis, age, general health, occlusal disharmonies, dentition and social environment on the long-term effect of treatment was analysed. Patients with TMJ osteoarthrosis had, on average, no more signs or symptoms of dysfunction at the follow-up than those judged to have had mainly neuromuscular problems. Poor general health was found to have a negative influence both on the immediate response to treatment of TMJ pain dysfunction and on the long-term prognosis. Few correlations were found between occlusal factors and dysfunction. Occlusal interferences showed no correlation to dysfunction at the first examination and at the follow-up were mainly correlated to some reported symptoms. Loss of molars and premolars was correlated to impaired TMJ-function. The patients with repeated periods of treatment (14%) did not differ from the rest with respect to signs and symptoms of dysfunction at the follow-up. In eight patients with extremely long periods of treatment general health problems and/or psychosocial factors were evident.

“…The beneficial effect of steroids in RA have been known for many years. In severe cases with persistent TMJ symptoms, intra-artieular steroid injections provide pain relief within a few days (Ogus 1975, Rasmussen 1982. The benefit can mainly be ascribed to anti-immunologic properties such as reduced antibody synthesis and suppression of T-and/or NK cell functions.…”

The article deals with the use of glucocorticosteroids in the treatment of the oral manifestations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Disecid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in the temporomandibular joint, Pemphigus Vulgaris, Pemphigoid, Erythema Multiforme Exudativum (EME), Lichen Plaints (LP), and Recurrent Aphthous Ulcerations (RAU). The benefit from steroids is discussed on the basis of current knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis of the various disorders. All of them are characterized by inflammation which appears secondary to a hypersensitivity reaction against autocomponents. Glucocorticoids do not interfere with the primary disease mechanisms. But it is concluded from the literature, that because of anti‐inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of the hormones, it seems reasonable to profit from steroids as palliatives in acute phases of the diseases and/or as long‐term suppressors of the general host defense.
