Temporomandibular Joint

Approximately 30% of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis develop temporomandibular joint involvement before transitioning to adult care, according to data published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.

Performing basic clinical observation on patients with temporomandibular joint arthritis is critical to determining whether their disease has improved, worsened or remained the same, according to the Rheumatology Nurses Society president.
