Key Points

This research aims to explore the relationship between temporomandibular joint involvement and juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children.
Conducted dental and TMD evaluations alongside MRI assessments of TMJ involvement at JIA onset.
Analyzed correlations between clinical findings and MRI results to identify early signs of arthritis.
Identified significant correlations between TMD evaluations and MRI findings of TMJ involvement.
Proposed TMD screening at JIA onset as a method for detecting early arthritis signs in pediatric patients.

Implication

Shows correlations with TMJ involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis, suggesting early detection benefits.

Abstract

Dental and TMD evaluations revealed correlations with MRI findings of TMJ involvement. Application of TMD screening at JIA onset might make it possible to detect TMJ-related early signs of arthritis in patients with JIA.
