Incidence of Orofacial Manifestations of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis From Diagnosis to Adult Care Transition: A Population‐Based Cohort Study
Authors' conclusion
Orofacial signs and symptoms were frequent findings in children and adolescents with JIA. TMJ involvement was seen in 30.1% of the cohort; and 20.6% of the total cohort developed JIA-related dentofacial deformity before transition into adult care.
