Temporomandibular joint rehabilitative approaches for children and adolescents affected by juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A systematic review. Int J Paediatr Dent 2024. [PMID: 38863137 DOI: 10.1111/ipd.13225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease of childhood, and temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are involved in 39%-78% of patients. AIM The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of conservative approaches in improving TMJ arthritis in children and adolescents affected by JIA. DESIGN PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched from the inception until February 25, 2024, to identify observational studies presenting participants with a diagnosis of JIA affecting the TMJ, rehabilitative approaches for TMJ arthritis as interventions, and clinical or radiological assessment of TMJ arthritis as outcome. RESULTS Of 478 papers suitable for title/abstract screening, 13 studies were included. The studies evaluated the effectiveness of intra-articular (IA) corticosteroid (CS) injections, IA infliximab injections, arthrocentesis alone or in combination with IACS injections, occlusal splint, functional appliance, and physiotherapy. The effectiveness of IACS injections was shown in eight studies. IA infliximab injections did not appear to significantly improve TMJ arthritis. CONCLUSION Results of this systematic review suggested that conservative treatments, especially IACS injections, might be effective in improving TMJ arthritis in patients affected by JIA. Further studies with a higher level of evidence and more representative samples should be conducted.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease of childhood. JIA can affect any joint and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the joints most frequently involved. TMJ arthritis impacts mandibular growth and development and can result in skeletal deformity (convex profile and facial asymmetry), and malocclusion. Furthermore, when TMJs are affected, patients may present with pain at joint and masticatory muscles and dysfunction with crepitus and limited jaw movement. This review aims to describe the role of orthodontists in the management of patients with JIA and TMJ involvement. This article is an overview of evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with JIA and TMJ involvement. Screening for the orofacial manifestation of JIA is important for orthodontists to identify TMJ involvement and related dentofacial deformity. The treatment protocol of JIA with TMJ involvement requires an interdisciplinary collaboration including orthopaedic/orthodontic treatment and surgical interventions for the management of growth disturbances. Orthodontists are also involved in the management of orofacial signs and symptoms; behavioural therapy, physiotherapy and occlusal splints are the suggested treatments. Patients with TMJ arthritis require specific expertise from an interdisciplinary team with members knowledgeable in JIA care. Since disorders of mandibular growth often appear during childhood, the orthodontist could be the first clinician to see the patient and can play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of JIA patients with TMJ involvement.

Abstract
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) affect a high percentage of children and adults worldwide. Surgery may be indicated in severe or recalcitrant cases. Several recent advancements in TMD and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery have elevated understanding and the ability to treat affected patients. We discuss recent advances in TMD epidemiology, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) of the TMJ, and surgical techniques and technologies. Technical advancements have been identified in TMJ arthroscopy, the treatment of TMJ subluxation and dislocation, and extended prosthetic total TMJ reconstruction (eTMJR). Overall, this review provides valuable insights into significant recent advancements in TMJ disorders and their surgical management.

Neuroendocrine Influencers and Associated Factors That Shape Jaw Movement and Growth in Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Management: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Radiographic Evidence. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13050840. [PMID: 37241010 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13050840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of endogenous and exogenous neuroendocrine analogues on the range and motion of jaw movement, mandibular growth, and factors affecting condylar guidance in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders using clinical assessment and radiographic imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eligible articles were extracted from eleven databases in early 2023 and screened following PRISMA protocols. Certainty of evidence and potential biases were assessed using the GRADE approach. RESULTS Nineteen articles were screened, with four deemed to be of high quality, eight of moderate quality, and the remaining seven of low to very low quality. Corticosteroids improve maximal incisal opening but not TMJ disorder symptoms. Higher doses worsen jaw movement and cause osseous deformity. Growth hormone affects occlusal development, and delayed treatment affects arch width. Sex hormone correlation with TMJ disorder is complex, with some studies showing a correlation between menstrual cycle phases and pain/limited mobility. CONCLUSIONS The evaluation of neuroendocrine influencers in relation to jaw movement in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders involves the complex interplay of potentially confounding factors that each require careful consideration to ensure accurate diagnoses and evaluations.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023:S0278-2391(23)00331-2. [PMID: 37086749 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Similarities in initial presentations of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement from juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), idiopathic condylar resorption, and other forms of progressive TMJ destruction in children create diagnostic confusion. Treatment pathways, however, depend on determination of etiology. The purpose of this study was to compare TMJ magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of patients with joint degeneration localized to the TMJs to those with JIA and TMJ involvement. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study including subjects younger than 18 years that presented from February 2008 to October 2019 with clinical TMJ degeneration, a gadolinium-enhanced TMJ MRI and a negative pediatric rheumatologic workup ("non-JIA" group), and a series of age and sex-matched subjects with TMJ degeneration on gadolinium-enhanced MRI and JIA ("JIA group"). MRIs were evaluated in a blinded fashion by 1 pediatric radiologist. The primary outcome variable was the radiologist's accuracy in predicting study grouping, assessed in 1 randomly-selected joint per patient. Secondary outcome variables included MRI characteristics of inflammation, osseous damage and articular disc morphology. Independent samples t-tests, sensitivity/specificity, Fisher's exact and Mann-Whitney tests were computed as applicable, and P < .05 was considered significant. RESULTS The sample included 34 subjects: 16 non-JIA (75% female, age 13.9 ± 2.8 years) and 18 JIA (77% female, age 13.6 ± 2.8 years) (P ≥ .738). The radiologist correctly classified 64.7% of subjects as non-JIA or JIA (P = .078, sensitivity = 94.4%, specificity = 31.3%). Inflammatory and osseous findings were similar between groups (P ≥ .073). The disc was anteriorly displaced in 9 non-JIA and 0 JIA joints (P < .001, sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 100%) and flattened in 3 non-JIA and 14 JIA joints (P = .006, sensitivity = 38.9%, specificity = 90.6%). CONCLUSION Inflammatory and osseous findings on gadolinium-enhanced TMJ MRIs are insufficient to determine the etiology of progressive TMJ destruction. Disc characteristics, however, significantly differ between JIA and non-JIA etiologies and may be important in differentiating these conditions.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of Intra-articular injections of corticosteroids (CCS), hyaluronic acid (HA), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. METHODS Studies were identified from PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov with date up to January 15, 2022. Randomized controlled trials included were the studies of patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis who had intra-articular treatment with CCS, HA, PRP, placebo and follow-up assessing temporomandibular joint function in target outcome variables. The primary outcome was temporomandibular joint pain. The secondary outcomes were maximal mouth opening (mm), and lateral movement to the affected side (mm). This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42021270914. RESULTS Nine randomized controlled trials involving 316 patients were included. For primary pain outcome, no significance was detected when CCS, HA and PRP were compared with placebo by both short- (3-6 months) and long-term (>12 months) follow-up. Relatively, the top ranking of which was PRP in the long-term (Mean Difference, -0.23 [95% CI, -2.49 to 2.04]). In addition, these injectables did not significantly outperform placebo by evaluating secondary functional outcomes (maximal mouth opening and lateral movement) with the same follow-up. Subgroup analyses showed that the effect of CCS on subgroups with more than 70% women was statistically less effective compared with placebo (Mean Difference, 1.73 [95% CI, 0.37-3.09]). CONCLUSION Evidence suggested that intra-articular pharmacological injections of CCS, HA, and PRP had no effect on improving temporomandibular joint pain and functional outcomes compared with placebo injection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide updated guidelines for pharmacologic management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), focusing on treatment of oligoarthritis, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis, and systemic JIA with and without macrophage activation syndrome. Recommendations regarding tapering and discontinuing treatment in inactive systemic JIA are also provided. METHODS We developed clinically relevant Patient/Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes questions. After conducting a systematic literature review, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach was used to rate the quality of evidence (high, moderate, low, or very low). A Voting Panel including clinicians and patients/caregivers achieved consensus on the direction (for or against) and strength (strong or conditional) of recommendations. RESULTS Similar to those published in 2019, these JIA recommendations are based on clinical phenotypes of JIA, rather than a specific classification schema. This guideline provides recommendations for initial and subsequent treatment of JIA with oligoarthritis, TMJ arthritis, and systemic JIA as well as for tapering and discontinuing treatment in subjects with inactive systemic JIA. Other aspects of disease management, including factors that influence treatment choice and medication tapering, are discussed. Evidence for all recommendations was graded as low or very low in quality. For that reason, more than half of the recommendations are conditional. CONCLUSION This clinical practice guideline complements the 2019 American College of Rheumatology JIA and uveitis guidelines, which addressed polyarthritis, sacroiliitis, enthesitis, and uveitis. It serves as a tool to support clinicians, patients, and caregivers in decision-making. The recommendations take into consideration the severity of both articular and nonarticular manifestations as well as patient quality of life. Although evidence is generally low quality and many recommendations are conditional, the inclusion of caregivers and patients in the decision-making process strengthens the relevance and applicability of the guideline. It is important to remember that these are recommendations. Clinical decisions, as always, should be made by the treating clinician and patient/caregiver.

[PMID: 35407368 PMCID: PMC8999183 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11071761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Due to potentially severe sequelae (impaired growth, condylar resorption, and ankylosis) early diagnosis of chronic rheumatic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and timely onset of therapy are essential. Aim: Owing to very limited evidence the aim of the study was to identify and discuss controversial topics in the guideline development to promote further focused research. Methods: Through a systematic literature search, 394 out of 3771 publications were included in a German interdisciplinary guideline draft. Two workgroups (1: oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2: interdisciplinary) voted on 77 recommendations/statements, in 2 independent anonymized and blinded consensus phases (Delphi process). Results: The voting results were relatively homogenous, except for a greater proportion of abstentions amongst the interdisciplinary group (p < 0.001). Eighty-four percent of recommendations/statements were approved in the first round, 89% with strong consensus. Fourteen recommendations/statements (18.2%) required a prolonged consensus phase and further discussion. Discussion: Contrast-enhanced MRI was confirmed as the method of choice for the diagnosis of TMJ arthritis. Intraarticular corticosteroid injection is to be limited to therapy-refractory cases and single injection only. In adults, alloplastic joint replacement is preferable to autologous replacement. In children/adolescents, autologous reconstruction may be performed lacking viable alternatives. Alloplastic options are currently still considered experimental.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide updated guidelines for pharmacologic management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), focusing on treatment of oligoarthritis, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis, and systemic JIA with and without macrophage activation syndrome. Recommendations regarding tapering and discontinuing treatment in inactive systemic JIA are also provided. METHODS We developed clinically relevant Patient/Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes questions. After conducting a systematic literature review, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach was used to rate the quality of evidence (high, moderate, low, or very low). A Voting Panel including clinicians and patients/caregivers achieved consensus on the direction (for or against) and strength (strong or conditional) of recommendations. RESULTS Similar to those published in 2019, these JIA recommendations are based on clinical phenotypes of JIA, rather than a specific classification schema. This guideline provides recommendations for initial and subsequent treatment of JIA with oligoarthritis, TMJ arthritis, and systemic JIA as well as for tapering and discontinuing treatment in subjects with inactive systemic JIA. Other aspects of disease management, including factors that influence treatment choice and medication tapering, are discussed. Evidence for all recommendations was graded as low or very low in quality. For that reason, more than half of the recommendations are conditional. CONCLUSION This clinical practice guideline complements the 2019 American College of Rheumatology JIA and uveitis guidelines, which addressed polyarthritis, sacroiliitis, enthesitis, and uveitis. It serves as a tool to support clinicians, patients, and caregivers in decision-making. The recommendations take into consideration the severity of both articular and nonarticular manifestations as well as patient quality of life. Although evidence is generally low quality and many recommendations are conditional, the inclusion of caregivers and patients in the decision-making process strengthens the relevance and applicability of the guideline. It is important to remember that these are recommendations. Clinical decisions, as always, should be made by the treating clinician and patient/caregiver.

Clinical Practice Guideline: The Diagnosis and Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis of the Temporomandibular Joint. DEUTSCHES ARZTEBLATT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 119:47-54. [PMID: 34874262 DOI: 10.3238/arztebl.m2021.0388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Involvement of the temporomandibular joint can be shown in 40-90% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), although it is often asymptomatic. Restricted jaw mobility and jaw pain can be found in approximately 20% of patients with JIA (prevalence: 70 per 100 000 persons). Early diagnosis and treatment of the underlying disease are essential for a good outcome, but uniform, consensus-based management is still lacking. METHODS The clinical practice guideline is based on the findings of a systematic literature review in multiple databases and a Delphi procedure to obtain consensus on the recommendations. RESULTS Most of the identified studies were retrospective. Patients with JIA should undergo clinical screening with a structured examination protocol once per year in childhood and adolescence, and thereafter as well if the temporomandibular joint is involved. The diagnosis of chronic rheumatoid arthritis of the temporomandibular joint is established with contrastenhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative treatment (antirheumatic basal therapy, local measures) is unsuccessful in less than 10% of patients. In such cases, arthroscopy and arthrocentesis can be used for temporary symptom relief and functional improvement. Intraarticular corticosteroid injections should be given only once, and only in otherwise intractable cases. In severe cases where all other options have been exhausted (<1%), open surgical treatment can be considered, including alloplastic joint replacement. CONCLUSION Oligosymptomatic and asymptomatic cases are common even with radiologic evidence of marked joint damage. The possibility of rheumatic involvement of the temporomandibular joint must be kept in mind so that serious complications can be avoided. Regular clinical evaluation of the temporomandibular joint is recommended, particularly for patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Abstract
Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often have involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during their disease course. Active arthritis of the TMJ remains difficult to assess. Clinical signs and symptoms alone are unreliable, and active TMJ arthritis needs confirmation by gadolinium-enhanced MRI. In recent years, changes in treatment approach have occurred. This article discusses the latest evidence on diagnosis and treatment of JIA-associated TMJ arthritis.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is common in children, with an increasing awareness of the condition in all healthcare professionals. TMJ involvement presents a challenge in both diagnosis and treatment, as late presentation can still occur as the disease often develops asymptomatically. This can result in facial deformity and/or functional difficulties including obstructive sleep apnoea. Early diagnosis is therefore essential, requiring a high index of clinical suspicion coupled with the judicious use of gadolinium contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Long-term management is best provided by a multidisciplinary team as patients often need a combination of pharmacological management, surgical interventions, orthodontics, and psychological support. End stage deformity can be treated by different surgical options, each with their own risks and benefits, however recently there is increasing recognition for the role of total alloplastic TMJ replacement. This review focuses on the diagnosis and management of TMJ arthritis and aims to highlight the important role of maxillofacial surgeons in JIA treatment.

Abstract
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a synovial joint and thus is vulnerable to the afflictions that may affect other joints in the fields of rheumatology and orthopedics. Too often temporomandibular complaints are seen strictly as dental or orofacial concerns. Similarly, patients with known rheumatic disease may not have their TMJs included in routine screening and monitoring protocols. The purpose of this review is to highlight the rheumatic conditions likely to affect the TMJ and outline medical and surgical management in these patients with a focus on the need for continued patient reassessment and monitoring.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic arthropathy in the pediatric population. Although the diagnosis is essentially clinical for many affected joints, MR imaging has become an important tool for the assessment of joints that are difficult to evaluate clinically, such as temporomandibular and sacroiliac joints, and for screening of inflammatory changes in the entire body by whole body MRI (WBMRI) assessment. The utilization of MR imaging is challenging in the pediatric population given the need for discrimination between pathological and physiological changes in the growing skeleton. Several multicentric multidisciplinary organizations have made major efforts over the past decades to standardize, quantify, and validate scoring systems to measure joint changes both cross-sectionally and longitudinally according to rigorous methodological standards. In this paper, we (1) discuss current trends for the diagnosis and management of JIA, (2) review challenges for detecting real pathological changes in growing joints, (3) summarize the current status of standardization of MRI protocols for data acquisition and the quantification of joint pathology in JIA by means of scoring systems, and (4) outline novel MR imaging techniques for the evaluation of anatomy and function of joints in JIA. Optimizing the role of MRI as a robust biomarker and outcome measure remains a priority of future research in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraarticular corticosteroids (IACs) have been used to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis. However, prospective clinical studies with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring are lacking. The aim of this study was to examine efficacy and safety of a single IAC in the TMJ in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in a clinical setting. METHODS In this Norwegian prospective multicenter pilot study 15 patients with JIA (mostly persistent oligoarthritis or RF negative polyarthritis categories) and a clinically and MRI-verified diagnosis of TMJ arthritis were treated with IACs and followed for 2 years. Demographics, systemic medication, general disease activity and outcome measures were recorded including a pain-index score and maximal incisal opening (MIO). Inflammation and bone damage scores were assessed, using two recently published MRI scoring systems with masked radiological evaluation. RESULTS Among the 15 patients, 13 received a single IAC (5 bilateral), and 2 repeated IACs once unilaterally. Thus, the total number of IACs was 22. Median age was 15 years and the majority had an age not thought of as critical regarding mandibular growth retardation due to steroid injection. During the 2-year observation period systemic medication with disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) including biologics was initiated or adjusted in 10/15 (67%) patients. At the 2-months study visit after injection we observed a minimal improvement in MIO from median 44 (1st, 3rd quartiles; 36, 48) mm to 45 (43, 47) mm, p = 0.045 and decreased MRI mean additive inflammatory score from 4.4 ± 1.8 standard deviations (SD) to 3.4 ± 2.0, p = 0.040. From baseline to the 2-months follow-up pain improved in 6/11 patients but pain scores were not significantly improved. MRI-assessed damage increased in two patients with repeated IACs, and decreased in 3 patients but most of the patients were stable over the 2-year follow-up. Intra-rater repeatability of the MRI scoring system domains varied from poor to excellent. CONCLUSIONS In this pilot study of predominately single IACs to the TMJ in combination with systemic treatment we observed improvement in MRI-assessed inflammation, mostly stable condylar bone conditions and minimal clinical improvement in adolescents with JIA and TMJ arthritis. No severe side effects were seen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis and involvement is commonly seen in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Therapy includes conservative measures, but also includes intraarticular corticosteroid injections (IASI) and systemic immunosuppressive therapy. Despite aggressive medical therapy, some patients develop arthritic changes and frank TMJ ankylosis that can result in persistent pain and limitation in range of motion (ROM). A surgical option is prosthetic TMJ replacement with concurrent correction of dentofacial deformities, which can be performed simultaneously. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of prosthetic TMJ replacement in a cohort of adolescent females with JIA and severe TMJ involvement. METHODS This is a retrospective case series that took place at one tertiary care center. Patients with a diagnosis of JIA who also underwent alloplastic TMJ replacement were identified through electronic medical record system (EMR) and reviewed. Chart review included analysis of all documents in the EMR, including demographic data, JIA history, surgical complications, ROM of TMJ measured by maximal incisal opening in millimeters (mm) and TMJ pain scores (4-point Likert scale: none, mild, moderate, severe) obtained pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS Five female patients, ages 15-17 year when TMJ replacement was performed, had nine total joints replaced with a post-operative follow-up period of 12-30 months. All patients had polyarticular, seronegative JIA and were treated with IASI and multiple immunosuppressive therapies without resolution of TMJ symptoms. One patient had bilateral TMJ ankylosis. Three of the five patients demonstrated significant dentofacial deformities, and all underwent simultaneous or staged orthognathic surgery. All patients had improvement in TMJ pain with most (80%) reporting no pain, and all had similar or improved ROM of their TMJ postoperatively. There was one delayed postoperative infection with Cutibacterium Acnes that presented 15 months after surgery and required removal and reimplantation of prosthesis. CONCLUSION The sequelae of TMJ arthritis and involvement from JIA in the adolescent population can be difficult to treat. Current medical therapy can be successful, however, in select cases that develop chronic changes in the TMJ despite extensive medical therapy, early results show that prosthetic joint replacement maybe a reasonable surgical option. With prosthetic joint replacement pain levels were reduced and range of motion was maintained or improved for all patients.

Abstract
We present outcomes following total joint replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in adolescent and young adult patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and discuss a multidisciplinary treatment model. A retrospective review was performed of patients presenting to the University of North Carolina Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service (Chapel Hill, NC) from 2016- 2018 who underwent unilateral or bilateral total replacement of the TMJ for a diagnosis of end-stage joint disease secondary to JIA. Inclusion criteria included diagnosis by a rheumatologist, presentation to our department in adolescence (under 18 years of age), surgical intervention in adolescence or young adulthood (under 25 years of age), and documentation of preoperative and postoperative pain, maximum incisal opening (MIO), and quality of life measures. A database was created and data were then analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Five patients met the inclusion criteria. All achieved MIO of more than 35mm with a mean improvement of 24mm, and were able to tolerate a regular diet. All preoperative pain had essentially been eliminated. All patients reported a considerable improvement in quality of life. To our knowledge, this is the first report to document a series of paediatric and young adult patients with JIA who required total replacement of the joint for end-stage joint disease. To our knowledge, it is also the first to describe the use of a collaborative clinic of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, neuroradiologists, dental radiologists, orofacial pain specialists, paediatric rheumatologists, and paediatric nurse practitioners, to care for these patients.

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.

Quantitative analysis of facial asymmetry based on three-dimensional photography: a valuable indicator for asymmetrical temporomandibular joint affection in juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients? Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2020; 18:10. [PMID: 32005249 PMCID: PMC6995089 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-020-0401-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 01/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can cause osseous deformity in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and may impair mandibular growth. This study aimed to evaluate whether facial asymmetry determined clinically or by morphometric analysis of three-dimensional (3D) photographs in JIA patients is associated with an asymmetric affection of theTMJ. METHODS Of 76 consecutive JIA patients with a mean age of 11.7 years (range: 6.3-17.9), facial asymmetry was evaluated clinically (chin asymmetry, gonion asymmetry), and stereophotogrammetrically with 3D photographs. The facial surfaces were demarcated, then mirrored, superimposed using semi-automated landmarks, and quantitatively assessed (chin asymmetry, Hausdorff distances). Clinical and digital measurements were related to the diagnosis of right and left TMJ involvement derived from magnetic resonance images (MRI). RESULTS Twenty-seven (34%) patients had an asymmetrical osseous deformity of the TMJ. By clinical evaluation, chin asymmetry was related to asymmetrical osseous destruction (p = 0.02), but gonion asymmetry was not (p = 0.14). In regard to 3D-photograph based morphometric measurements, chin asymmetry was also related to asymmetrical osseous destruction (p = 0.01), but neither the mean (p = 0.06) nor the maximal Hausdorff distance (p = 0.67). Despite the attested significance, none of the chin asymmetry evaluation methods appeared to hold sufficient predictive value (positive predictive values ≤54%; coefficient of determination ≤7%). CONCLUSIONS For the assessment of facial asymmetry in JIA patients, morphometric measurements originating from 3D-photographs seem to deliver results comparable to the clinical assessment methods. The asymmetry of the face, especially around the chin, appears to be related to asymmetrical TMJ destruction, but none of the investigated measurement methods of the face were able to reliably predict the TMJ affection. Thus, facial asymmetry assessments, both qualitatively in a clinical setting and quantitatively based on 3D-photographs, have limited diagnostic value for TMJ involvement in JIA patients.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis impacts mandibular growth and development. This can result in skeletal deformity, such as facial asymmetry and/or malocclusion asymmetry. This article reviews the unique properties of TMJ and dentofacial growth and development in the setting of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Specific orthopedic/orthodontic and surgical management of children with JIA and TMJ arthritis is discussed. The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration is highlighted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the course of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation, osseous deformation, and mandibular ramus growth in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) during systemic therapy. METHODS Longitudinal study of 38 consecutive patients with JIA (29 female, median age 9.0 yrs, interquartile range 6.2-10.7 yrs) receiving systemic therapy with TMJ involvement, with 2 TMJ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations ≥ 2 years apart and no TMJ corticosteroid injection. Clinical and MRI findings were compared between initial and followup examinations and between TMJ with and without active inflammation at baseline. RESULTS Over a median period of 3.6 years (range, 2.0-8.7 yrs), MRI grade of TMJ inflammation improved (p = 0.009) and overall osseous deformity tended to become less severe (p = 0.114). In TMJ with arthritis at baseline (46 TMJ), both the grades of inflammation (p < 0.001) and deformity (p = 0.011) improved. In TMJ with no arthritis at baseline (30 TMJ), the frequency and grade of condylar deformation remained stable. Mandibular ramus growth rates were not significantly different between TMJ with and without arthritis at baseline (1.3 mm/yr vs 1.5 mm/yr, p = 0.273), and were not correlated with the degree of inflammation at baseline or followup. The frequency of facial asymmetry tended to be lower at followup than at initial examination (24% vs 45%, p = 0.056). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that systemic treatment of TMJ arthritis in children with JIA decreases the degree of inflammation seen on MRI, preserves osseous TMJ morphology, and maintains normal mandibular ramus growth.

Abstract
Imaging of the temporomandibular joint in pediatric patients is a critical component in the evaluation and treatment of children with temporomandibular joint symptoms. MRI can provide detailed joint anatomy and identify inflammation, sometimes before symptom onset. Ultrasound scan is a convenient emerging modality to evaluate the joint and guide therapeutic injections. Radiography and computed tomography offer osseous detail to recognize early morphologic changes of the mandibular condyle and provide operative planning. Imaging promises to direct treatment to prevent future joint destruction and maintain function.

Abstract
Inflammation and damage in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) often develop without clinical symptoms but can lead to severe facial growth abnormalities and impaired health-related quality of life, making early diagnosis of TMJ changes crucial to identify. Inflammatory and osteochondral changes detectable through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) occur in TMJs of approximately 40% of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and no other imaging modality or physical method of examination can reliably detect these changes. Therefore contrast-enhanced MRI is the diagnostic standard for diagnosis and interval monitoring of JIA. However the specific usage of MRI for TMJ arthritis is not standardized at present. There is a recognized need for a consensus effort toward standardization of an imaging protocol with required and optional sequences to improve detection of pathological changes and shorten study time. Such a consensus imaging protocol is important for providing maximum information with minimally necessary sequences in a way that allows inter-site comparison of results of clinical trials and improved clinical management. In this paper we describe the challenges of TMJ imaging and present expert-panel consensus suggestions for a standardized TMJ MRI protocol.

Abstract
Objective.Intraarticular corticosteroid (IAC) injections are often used to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). One potential complication of IA therapy is heterotopic bone formation (HBF). The purpose of our study was to evaluate risk factors for HBF development in children with JIA who received IA therapy for TMJ arthritis.Methods.This was a retrospective study of children with JIA who had received ≥ 1 IAC injection into the TMJ. Survival regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for the development of HBF.Results.There were 238 children included, of whom 33 (14%) developed HBF. No cases of HBF were diagnosed prior to the initial injection. Univariate analysis revealed that the risk factors for development of HBF were the total number of injections received into the TMJ and age at diagnosis of JIA, while the length of time from diagnosis of JIA to the first injection was inversely associated with the risk of HBF formation. The total number of injections was no longer significant following adjusted survival models. Children with HBF had increased physical examination evidence of acute or chronic changes, namely decreased maximal incisal opening and increased likelihood of jaw deviation.Conclusion.HBF within the TMJ is relatively common in patients with JIA receiving IAC injections for TMJ arthritis. Future prospective studies are required to delineate the risks posed by the injections themselves as opposed to the underlying disease activity, as well as to evaluate alternative forms of local therapy to the TMJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthritis involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) complicates 40 - 96% of cases of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), potentially leading to devastating changes to form and function. Optimal evaluation and management of this joint remains a matter of ongoing discussion. METHODS We performed a PubMed search for all articles with keywords "temporomandibular" and "arthritis", covering the dates 2002 through February 28, 2018. A separate PubMed search was performed for all articles with keywords "temporomandibular joint", "arthritis", and "treatment" covering the same dates. FINDINGS The TMJ is a particularly challenging joint to assess, both clinically and with imaging studies. Clinical assessment of the TMJ is hampered by the low sensitivity of joint pain as well as the absence of physical exam findings early in the disease process. As with all joints, plain radiography and computed tomography only detect arthritic sequelae. Additionally, there is mixed data on the sensitivity of ultrasound, leaving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the optimal diagnostic modality. However, several recent studies have shown that non-arthritic children can have subtle findings on MRI consistent with TMJ arthritis, such as joint effusion and contrast enhancement. Consequently, there has been an intense effort to identify features that can be used to differentiate mild TMJ arthritis from normal TMJs, such as the ratio of the enhancement within the TMJ itself compared to the enhancement in surrounding musculature. With respect to treatment of TMJ arthritis, there is minimal prospective data on medical therapy of this complicated joint. Retrospective studies have suggested that the response to medical therapy of the TMJ may lag behind that of other joints, prompting use of intraarticular (IA) therapy. Although most studies have shown short-term effectiveness of corticosteroids, the long-term safety of this therapy on local growth as well as on the development of IA heterotopic bone have prompted recommendations to limit use of IA corticosteroids. Severe TMJ disease from JIA can also be managed non-operatively with splints in a growing child, as well as with surgery. CONCLUSION In this review, we summarize literature on the diagnosis and management of TMJ arthritis in JIA and suggest a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for children with refractory TMJ arthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are frequently affected in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Early detection is challenging, as major variation is present in scoring TMJ pathology on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Consensus-driven development and validation of an MRI scoring system for TMJs has important clinical utility in timely improvement of diagnosis and serving as an outcome measure. We report on a multi-institutional collaboration toward developing a TMJ MRI scoring system for JIA. METHODS Seven readers independently assessed MRI scans from 21 patients (42 TMJs, from patients ages 6-16 years) using 3 existing MRI scoring systems from American, German, and Swiss institutions. Reliability scores, scoring system definitions, and items were discussed among 10 JIA experts through 2 rounds of Delphi surveys, nominal group voting, and subsequent consensus meetings to create a novel TMJ MRI scoring system. RESULTS Average-measure absolute agreement intraclass correlation coefficients (avICCs) for the total scores of all 3 scoring systems were highly reliable at 0.96 each. Osteochondral items showed higher reliability than inflammatory items. An additive system was deemed preferable for assessing minor joint changes over time. Eight items were considered sufficiently reliable and/or important for integration into the consensus scoring system: bone marrow edema and enhancement (avICC 0.57-0.61, smallest detectable difference [SDD] ± 45-63% prior to redefining), condylar flattening (avICC 0.95-0.96, SDD ± 23-28%), effusions (avICC 0.85-0.88, SDD ± 25-26%), erosions (avICC 0.94, SDD ± 20%), synovial enhancement and thickening (previously combined, avICC 0.90-0.91, SDD ± 33%), and disk abnormalities (avICC 0.90, SDD ± 19%). CONCLUSION A novel TMJ MRI scoring system was developed by consensus. Further iterative refinements and reliability testing are warranted in upcoming studies.

Abstract
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the diagnostic standard for identifying involvement of the temporomandibular joint by juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Early or active arthritis is shown as bone marrow oedema, joint effusion, synovial thickening and increased joint enhancement. Subsequent joint damage includes characteristic deformity of the mandibular condyle, bone erosion, disk abnormalities and short mandibular ramus due to impaired growth. In this pictorial essay, we illustrate normal MRI findings and growth-related changes of the temporomandibular joint in children. The rationale and practical application of semiquantitative MRI assessment of joint inflammation and damage are discussed and presented. This atlas can serve as a reference for grading temporomandibular joint arthritis according to the scoring systems proposed by working groups of OMERACT (Outcome Measures in Rheumatology and Clinical Trials) and the EuroTMjoint research network. Systematic assessment of the level of inflammation, degree of osteochondral deformation, and growth of the mandibular ramus by MRI may aid in monitoring the course of temporomandibular joint arthritis and evaluating treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 80% of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) develop arthritis involving their temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Recent studies have questioned the sensitivity of an abnormal MRI in the diagnosis of active arthritis. METHODS 122 children without arthritis undergoing contrast MRI of the head were prospectively consented to undergo a simultaneous contrast MRI of their TMJs. As a comparison point, the initial MRI of the TMJ of 35 newly diagnosed children with JIA were retrospectively scored. The presence and size of effusion and contrast enhancement were measured in the left TMJ in all subjects. RESULTS 62/122 (51%) controls compared to only 10/35 JIA (29%) patients had an effusion (p = 0.022). Contrast enhancement was present in ≥97% of both groups, although the size of the enhancement was, on average, 0.2 mm larger in controls (1.1 ± 0.24 vs 0.88 ± 0.27 mm, p < 0.001). Among JIA patients, the size of the enhancement correlated inversely with disease duration (r = - 0.475, p = 0.005). Chronic changes were present in none of the controls versus 2/35 (5.5%) of the JIA patients (p = 0.049). CONCLUSION Findings consistent with minimally active TMJ arthritis appear to be equally likely in children with JIA as compared to non-inflamed controls, while this and other studies confirm that chronic changes are specific to JIA. Thus, small amounts of effusion or contrast enhancement, in the absence of chronic changes, should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate, in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, the effect of lavage with or without intra-articular corticosteroid (IACS) injection on clinical temporomandibular joint (TMJ) signs and symptoms of inflammation and changes in acute inflammation as assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-one patients (mean age, 13.6 ± 4.0 yr) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis participating in a large prospective juvenile inflammatory rheumatism cohort study (JIRcohorte) were included in this study. Clinical history, examination, and MRI were carried out at baseline and 6 months after intervention, if any. Twenty-one patients underwent lavage and IACS injection in at least 1 TMJ, 8 patients underwent lavage of at least 1 TMJ, and 12 patients were followed with no intervention. Outcomes measured were maximal mouth opening, Helkimo dysfunction index scores, pain intensity, and acute inflammation as assessed using MRI. RESULTS All groups showed a mean increase in mouth opening and mean decrease in pain intensity. The mean Helkimo clinical dysfunction score decreased for the 2 intervention groups but not for the control group. The mean Helkimo anamnestic dysfunction score decreased for the lavage with IACS group but not for the lavage-only group. The only statistically relevant difference was found for the Helkimo anamnestic dysfunction score comparing the lavage-only with the lavage with IACS group, with a more positive effect found in the lavage with IACS group. More than 50% of joints in each group showed no change at MRI examination. Joints with lavage and ICAS injection showed better improvement than joints that had lavage only or no intervention. CONCLUSION TMJ lavage with or without IACS injection cannot be claimed to systematically decrease pain, increase mouth opening, or resolve acute inflammation. Despite a tendency for improvement, response to this treatment is very patient dependent and can be determined by an array of other variables.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is clear the contemporary dentist is confronted with a blizzard of information regarding materials and techniques from journal articles, advertisements, newsletters, the internet, and continuing education events. While some of that information is sound and helpful, much of it is misleading at best. PURPOSE This review identifies and discusses the most important scientific findings regarding outcomes of dental treatment to assist the practitioner in making evidence-based choices. This review was conducted to assist the busy dentist in keeping abreast of the latest scientific information regarding the clinical practice of dentistry. MATERIAL AND METHODS Each of the authors, who are considered experts in their disciplines, was asked to peruse the scientific literature published in 2015 in their discipline and review the articles for important information that may have an impact on treatment decisions. Comments on experimental methodology, statistical evaluation, and overall validity of the conclusions are included in many of the reviews. RESULTS The reviews are not meant to stand alone but are intended to inform the interested reader about what has been discovered in the past year. The readers are then invited to go to the source if they wish more detail. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of the scientific literature published in 2015 is divided into 7 sections, dental materials, periodontics, prosthodontics, occlusion and temporomandibular disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, cariology, and implant dentistry.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to answer the following clinical question: Among patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA), do those undergoing arthrocentesis and corticosteroid (CS) injection, when compared with those undergoing arthrocentesis alone, have better outcomes in terms of range of motion and clinical symptoms? MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized clinical trial in adult patients with TMJ OA referred to our clinic between May 2012 and September 2013 was implemented. The sample was composed of 24 consecutive patients with TMJ OA treated randomly with either arthrocentesis alone (control group) or arthrocentesis plus CS injection (CS group). The outcome variables were visual analog scale evaluations (ie, masticatory efficiency, joint sounds, and pain complaints), maximal interincisal opening, and mandibular motions. The outcome variables were recorded at baseline and at 12 months postoperatively. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for intergroup comparison. The paired t test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used for intragroup comparisons. RESULTS The sample was composed of 32 joints in 24 patients with TMJ OA (15 joints in 12 patients with a mean age of 35.08 ± 14.84 years comprising the control group and 17 joints in 12 adult patients with a mean age of 32.58 ± 9.58 years comprising the CS group). Pain complaints and joint sounds showed statistically significant decreases (P < .01) in both groups, whereas painless interincisal opening showed a statistically significant increase (P < .001) in only the CS group. After estimation of differences between the follow-up and baseline outcomes, the mean change in the primary outcome variables showed no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that arthrocentesis plus intra-articular CS injection produced no better outcomes in terms of range of motion and clinical symptoms in patients with TMJ OA, as compared with those undergoing arthrocentesis alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to assess a novel method for quantifying temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovial enhancement on gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to establish normative values to allow early detection of synovitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients (aged 0 to 16 years) without jaw pathology who underwent MRI scans with contrast that included the TMJs. From a coronal T1-weighted image, the signal intensity within the superior and inferior joint spaces was divided by the signal intensity of the longus capitis muscle to establish a ratio by age. Intrarater reliability and inter-rater reliability were assessed. A mixed-model regression analysis was used to determine the 95% specificity threshold for normal ratios. RESULTS Temporal and optic nerve MRI scans of 158 patients were included. Normative synovial enhancement ratios (95% specificity) thresholds were established: 1.52, 1.68, and 1.55 for superior joint space, inferior joint space, and average of both joint spaces, respectively. Intrarater and inter-rater agreement was excellent. CONCLUSIONS A ratio of signal intensity of the TMJ synovium to the longus capitis is a reliable method to quantify enhancement controlling for time after contrast infusion and may be useful for diagnosis of TMJ synovitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The early diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) before joint destruction and growth disturbances could allow for interceptive treatment. The purpose of this article is to report early TMJ arthroscopic findings in patients with JIA. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a case series of 3 patients with JIA treated at the Emory University Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from July 2011 through December 2012. Patients were included if they had a confirmed diagnosis of JIA, did not respond to anti-rheumatologic medication, and had TMJ pain or limited mouth opening. All patients underwent TMJ arthroscopy with an injection of triamcinolone hexacetonide. Demographics, medical history, magnetic resonance imaging findings, arthroscopic findings, and postoperative course were reported. RESULTS Three female patients (mean age, 12.5 yr; 5 joints) underwent arthroscopy. Arthroscopic findings consisted of mild to moderate synovitis and grade 2 to 4 chondromalacia with or without fibrosis. Postoperatively, all patients had improvement in pain and mouth opening. CONCLUSIONS There was a positive correlation between duration of JIA activity in the TMJ and severity of arthroscopic findings. Arthroscopic lysis and lavage combined with triamcinolone hexacetonide injection resulted in improvement in pain and range of motion.

Temporomandibular joint steroid injections in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: an observational pilot study on the long-term effect on signs and symptoms. Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2015; 13:62. [PMID: 26689191 PMCID: PMC4687278 DOI: 10.1186/s12969-015-0060-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2015] [Accepted: 12/09/2015] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can lead to orofacial pain and malfunction of the TMJ. Intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACI) have been suggested as a treatment modality against TMJ arthritis-related orofacial signs and symptoms. However, knowledge of the effect-durability of these injections remains unanswered. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the short and long-term effects of IACI on orofacial symptoms in a prospective observational study based on pre-specified clinical examination standards. METHODS Thirteen patients with JIA and arthritis-related orofacial signs and symptoms were included in this prospective pilot study (median 17.2 years, IQR 15-18.4 years). All patients received TMJ IACI (11 bilateral and two unilateral) due to an insufficient response to previous pain-management treatments. Three standardized clinical examinations were carried out: T1 prior to treatment, T2 short-term follow-up (mean 34 days post-treatment), T3 long-term follow-up (mean 333 days post-treatment). RESULTS Significant pain reduction was observed at the short-term follow-up (T2). Resolution of orofacial pain after IACI was a rare finding at T2. Generally, the pain significantly worsened between T2 and T3 examinations. The reported pain levels rose between T2 and T3 indicating a loss of effect of the IACI at the long-term follow-up examination (T3). Non-significant improvements in TMJ mobility were observed at T2 and T3. CONCLUSION Our results suggest a palliative (not curative) effect of IACI for TMJ arthritis-related orofacial symptoms in patients with long-term orofacial pain complaints. The short-term improvements in signs and symptoms were partly resolved at the long-term follow-up.
