A three minute- screening tool for temporomandibular joint involvement in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a possible localization of arthritis in patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), with an estimated prevalence around 50%. Despite the decreasing involvement in the last years, maybe due to the current treatment strategies, TMJ remains one of the most clinically under recognized affected joints in JIA patients. The clinical examination of TMJ is often unreliable, even for experienced rheumatologists, leading to the need of more specific diagnostic tools.
