چکیده
Our series included 51 consecutive patients with JIA, 16 males and 35 females (age range 4 – 19 years), that were evaluated through a rheumatologic and dentist examination. Clinically suspected cases were studied with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Our results showed that 19/51 patients (37%) (age range 9 – 19 years) had TMJ alterations, 10/19 (19,6%) concerning the left one while 7/19 (13,7%) the right one. Only 2/19 (4%) had a bilateral involvement.
