Abstract
BACKGROUND An update on the knowledge regarding the orthopedic/orthodontic role in treating JIA-related dentofacial deformities is relevant. OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to assess the level of evidence regarding the management of dentofacial deformity from juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) with orthodontics and/or dentofacial orthopedics. SEARCH METHODS The following databases were searched without time or language restrictions up to 31 January 2024 (Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, Web of Science, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature). SELECTION CRITERIA Inclusion criteria were studies dealing with JIA subjects receiving treatment with orthodontic and/or dentofacial orthopedic functional appliances. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS After the removal of duplicate studies, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment according to ROBINS-I guidelines were conducted. Data extraction was conducted by two independent authors. RESULTS The electronic database search identified 397 eligible articles after the removal of duplicates. Following the application of the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were left for inclusion. Two trials were associated with a severe risk of bias, four trials were at moderate risk of bias, and the other five presented a low risk of bias. Various research groups employed and documented the effects of different types of appliances and methodologies. The study heterogeneity did not allow for meta-analyses. In addition, a lack of uniformity in treatment objectives was observed across the included studies. After treatment with dentofacial orthopedics skeletal improvement was demonstrated in 10 studies, and a decrease in orofacial signs and symptoms was reported in 7 studies. CONCLUSIONS Across the available literature, there is minor evidence to suggest that dentofacial orthopedics may be beneficial in the management of dentofacial deformities from JIA. There is little evidence to suggest that it can reduce orofacial signs and symptoms in patients with JIA. Based on current evidence, it is not possible to outline clinical recommendations for specific aspects of orthopedic management in growing subjects with JIA-related dentofacial deformity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) diagnosis and classification is currently still based on clinical presentation and general laboratory tests. Some joints such as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and sacroiliac (SI) are hard to assess and define as actively inflamed based on clinical examination. This review addresses these difficult to assess joints and provides the latest evidence for diagnosis and treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Recommendations on clinical examination and radiological examination are available. Recent 2021 ACR recommendations were made for TMJ arthritis and in 2019 for sacroiliitis. SUMMARY New evidence to guide clinical suspicion and need for further investigations are available for these hard to assess joints. These guidelines will help healthcare providers in diagnosis and treatment assessment.

BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:269. [PMID: 37161398 PMCID: PMC10170686 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03001-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective cross sectional study was to evaluate the cranial structure and condylar asymmetry of adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosed after 25 years of age compared to a healthy adult control group. METHODS Eighteen adult patients (57.4 ± 11.4 years) with RA were compared with a control group. Cephalometric analysis and the Habets method for the calculation of the condylar asymmetry were used. The main cephalometric data investigated were focused on the diagnosis of hyperdivergent cranial structure (NSL/ML, NL/ML), backwards rotation of the mandible (Fh/ML), short vertical ramus (Ar:Go), steep mandibular plane (ML/Oc). RESULTS The cephalometric data considered were not significantly different in the RA vs controls except for the steepness of the occlusal plane (NL/Oc), which was steeper in the patients group (P < 0.02) and the ramus of the mandible which was greater in patients. The asymmetry of the condyles was significant (P < 0.003) and different from the control group, but that of the ramus was not. CONCLUSIONS In this study, RA patients diagnosed after 25 years of age did not show a different pattern of growth with respect to the control group. As expected, the condyles showed a difference being asymmetrical in RA patients due to the high turnover of this joint reacting to severe systemic inflammation in conditions of continuous functional work, load and forces. This study follows a previous study with the same research plan conducted on young JIA patients who showed a different pattern of growth of the skull leading to a severe hyperdivergent cranial structure with backward rotation of the mandible; this is mainly due to the insufficient growth of the condylar site exposed to the inflammatory process during development. Unlike JIA patients, this study showed that RA patients follow an individual growth pattern not affected by inflammation, even if they show joint asymmetry.

Abstract
Involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is common in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). TMJ arthritis can lead to orofacial symptoms, orofacial dysfunction, and dentofacial deformity with negative impact on quality of life. Management involves interdisciplinary collaboration. No current recommendations exist to guide clinical management. We undertook this study to develop consensus-based interdisciplinary recommendations for management of orofacial manifestations of JIA, and to create a future research agenda related to management of TMJ arthritis in children with JIA. Recommendations were developed using online surveying of relevant stakeholders, systematic literature review, evidence-informed generation of recommendations during 2 consensus meetings, and Delphi study iterations involving external experts. The process included disciplines involved in the care of orofacial manifestations of JIA: pediatric rheumatology, radiology, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orofacial pain specialists, and pediatric dentistry. Recommendations were accepted if agreement was >80% during a final Delphi study. Three overarching management principles and 12 recommendations for interdisciplinary management of orofacial manifestations of JIA were outlined. The 12 recommendations pertained to diagnosis (n = 4), treatment of TMJ arthritis (active TMJ inflammation) (n = 2), treatment of TMJ dysfunction and symptoms (n = 3), treatment of arthritis-related dentofacial deformity (n = 2), and other aspects related to JIA (n = 1). Additionally, a future interdisciplinary research agenda was developed. These are the first interdisciplinary recommendations to guide clinical management of TMJ JIA. The 3 overarching principles and 12 recommendations fill an important gap in current clinical practice. They emphasize the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management of orofacial manifestations of JIA.

Role of Ultrasound Evaluation of Temporomandibular Joint in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Systematic Review. CHILDREN 2022; 9:children9081254. [PMID: 36010144 PMCID: PMC9406954 DOI: 10.3390/children9081254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 08/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is childhood’s most frequent chronic rheumatic disease. JIA is a broad term that includes all arthritides starting before 16 years, lasting at least six weeks, and of unknown cause. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) could be involved in JIA both at onset and during the disease course. The presence of TMJ synovitis might severely impair dentofacial maturation in pediatric patients. The ultrasound (US) application to detect early signs of TMJ synovitis in children with JIA has provided contradictory results. We sought to assess the current role of TMJ US in JIA through a systematic literature review. Methods: The systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Results: The literature search found 345 records. After duplicates removal, 253 records were screened, 20 full-text articles were reviewed to assess their eligibility, and 7 of them were included in the qualitative analysis. Joint effusion was the most recorded parameter, followed by bony condylar abnormalities. Compared to contrast enhancement MRI, the capability to detect signs of active synovitis of TMJ by US is low, especially at the early stages. Conclusion: Understanding how US may help diagnose and manage children with JIA is advisable for several reasons. MRI cannot be frequently repeated, may need sedation, and is expensive. The constant technical improvement of US will undoubtedly allow for better evaluation of what, in the past, was not clear or not even captured by sonography. So far, the role of US in the assessment of TMJ involvement in JIA is indubitably secondary to the MRI. Even so, we think that a baseline MRI of TMJ and the repetition of the sonography over time might both help the interpretation of US images and intercept significative changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the cumulative incidence of arthritis-induced orofacial symptoms, dysfunction, and dentofacial deformities in growing individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in a 36-month regional cohort study and to identify predictors for the development of arthritis-induced dentofacial deformities. METHODS Data were retrieved from the Aarhus JIA temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cohort register, which contains standardized, longitudinal, observational data regarding orofacial conditions in patients with JIA (n = 1,040). This regional cohort represents the majority of all subjects with JIA from the western part of Denmark between 1990 and 2016, regardless of TMJ arthritis status. Cumulative incidences of orofacial conditions were reported using Kaplan-Meier methods, and predictors for dentofacial deformity were identified using Cox proportional hazards analysis. RESULTS Follow-up data from 351 subjects for 36 months were included in this study. Median age at first clinical examination was 6.6 years (interquartile range 4.8-9.9 years). Orofacial symptoms and dysfunctions were common findings at 36 months after the first clinical examination and 5 years after JIA onset, with a cumulative incidence of 38% and 53%, respectively. Dentofacial deformities were found in 35% of subjects at the 36-month follow-up and were significantly associated with the presence of orofacial dysfunction. CONCLUSION Orofacial conditions were frequently observed in individuals with JIA and were represented in all JIA subcategories in this regional study. One-third of subjects had arthritis-induced dentofacial deformities that required orthopedic appliance treatment at the 36-month follow-up.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) often experience abnormal facial growth. Three-dimensional (3D) assessment of dentofacial growth deviation has become more common with advancement and commercialization of imaging technologies. However, no standardized guidelines exist for interpretation of 3D imaging in patients with JIA. The aim of this study was to propose and validate morphometric measures for the 3D radiographic assessment of dentofacial growth deviation in patients with JIA to enhance: 1) Description of dentofacial growth deviation; 2) Treatment planning; 3) Longitudinal follow-up. Methods The study was conducted in a standardized sequential-phased approach involving: 1) Preliminary decision-making; 2) Item generation; 3) Test of content-validity; 4) Test of reliability; 5) Test of construct validity; 6) Establishment of final recommendations. Results Twenty-one morphometric measures were evaluated. Based on results of reliability and validity-testing including subjects with JIA (n = 70) and non-JIA controls (n = 19), seven measures received a “high recommendation” score. Those measures were associated with posterior mandibular height, occlusal cant, mandibular asymmetry, mandibular inclination, and anterior/posterior lower face height. Nine other measures were “moderately recommended” and five received a “somewhat recommendation” score. Conclusion Seven morphometric measures were considered very useful in the 3D assessment of growth deviation in patients with TMJ disease associated with JIA. These variables can be used to standardize the description of dentofacial deformities and to plan corrective interventions.

Clinical predictors of temporomandibular joint arthritis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A systematic literature review. Semin Arthritis Rheum 2015; 45:717-32.

Abstract
AIM To assess the level of evidence for subjective and objective parameters in clinical orofacial examination and determine if predictors for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients exist in the current literature. METHOD A comprehensive systematic electronic search strategy was performed in all major medical databases in June 2015. Studies were selected independently by two reviewers in accordance with a prespecified protocol and a risk of bias assessment for all included studies. Subjective examination outcome measures assessed were pain, decreased TMJ function, and TMJ sounds. The objective outcome measures assessed were maximal incisor opening, mandibular asymmetric opening, condylar translation, protrusion, myofascial pain on palpation, facial asymmetry, and micro- or retrognathism. RESULTS The electronic database search identified 345 unique citations. After application of our strict, predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 21 articles were included and data extracted. The study heterogeneity did not allow for meta-analyses. No singular outcome measure can be suggested as a predictor of TMJ involvement in JIA, as sensitivity and/or specificity is too low compared to contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSION The current low level of evidence and study heterogeneity do not allow us to conclude on singular clinical outcome measures. To increase study comparability, we call for a standardized terminology and evidence-based guidelines for clinical orofacial examination parameters in JIA patients.

Abstract
In the past decade, the consequences of temporomandibular joint arthritis in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis have received increasing attention. Intra-articular corticosteroid injections have been suggested as a treatment option, but concerns that this treatment could reduce mandibular growth have been raised and are supported by new data published in The Journal of Rheumatology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of this work was to investigate the volume development of the mandible in growing rabbits with bilaterally induced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis that was either left untreated or treated with the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist etanercept. METHODS A total of 18 New Zealand White rabbits aged 8 weeks were randomized to three groups of 6 animals each. Two of these groups were used as arthritis groups by sensitizing the 12 animals to ovalbumin (OA) at 10 weeks, followed by intraarticular OA injections to induce bilateral TMJ arthritis and repeating these injections every 3 weeks to maintain the inflammation. One of the two arthritis groups was treated by weekly subcutaneous etanercept injections, whereas the other group was left untreated. The remaining 6 animals served as controls. Maxillofacial CT scans were obtained at 3-week intervals (from week 10 of the rabbits' lives to the end of the experiment at 22 weeks) to volumetrically track the development of the mandibles after segmentation. RESULTS The mandibles did not grow at a continuous rate, but the rate of development was found to decrease in all groups over the course of the study (weeks 10-22). The most extensive volume increases were noted during weeks 10-13. Severe growth deficiencies, especially of the condylar processes, were observed in the arthritis group not receiving treatment. The arthritis group treated with etanercept showed better rates of growth without, however, reaching the normal range of the control group. CONCLUSION Antigen-induced TMJ arthritis was found to involve severe problems of growth similar to those in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Etanercept can improve the volume development but does not reestablish an entirely normal rate of growth.
