Mandibular ramus length and condylar changes in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

چکیده
Subjects and methods 62 (42 girls) out of 305 children with JIA aged 3-17 years and followed-up at the Paediatric Rheumatology OPD in Oulu University Hospital were involved in this cross-sectional study. Group 1 had new TMJ symptoms or findings and group 2 chronic TMJ symptoms or findings. Subjects were examined by a paediatric rheumatologist and by a dentist.The control group consisted of 68 healthy children (28 girls). We examined OPGs both from patients (mean age 10.4; range 3-17) and controls (9.3 years; range 6-14) and measured mandibular ramus lenght on OPG (the distance between point Condylion and point Gonion). We calculated the percential difference of the lenght of the contralateral ramus. Condylar changes were graded in five point scale (Billiau et al 2007).

Methods 61 JIA patients with TMJ alterations were imaged by OPG and CBCT (mean age 11 years, 5-17 years). Mandibular ramus height was measured on OPG (distance between point Condylion and Gonion) and condyle height on CBCT (distance between incisura and point Condylion). The difference between right and left sides was calculated. Condylar changes were graded in five damage scores (Billiau 2007)...

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement is common but usually delayed in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We describe the case of a JIA patient with bilateral TMJ involvement, mandibular retrognathia, bone erosion, and severely restricted mouth opening. The use of cone beam computed tomography and a 3D diagnostic protocol in young patients with JIA provides reliable, accurat...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the horizontal changes in the condylar head with bent plate fixation after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with and without a Le Fort I osteotomy. STUDY DESIGN Of 47 Japanese patients with mandibular prognathism, 24 underwent SSRO and 23 underwent SSRO in combination with a Le Fort I osteotomy. A 3-5-mm gap was made between the proxima...

BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an autoimmune, heterogeneous disease and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be affected, with consequences for mandibular growth and function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of longitudinal medical treatment and the burden of disease activity on the development of temporomandibular condylar alterations as judged on panor...
