Sonographic evaluation of the temporomandibular joints in juvenile idiopathic arthritis(). |
T2 |
91-104 |
Sentence |
denotes |
INTRODUCTION: |
T3 |
105-195 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may cause damage to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). |
T4 |
196-294 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In oligoarticular forms of JIA, TMJ involvement is often asymptomatic and consequently overlooked. |
T5 |
295-430 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of TMJ joint effusion (JE) by ultrasonography (US) in patients with early arthritis. |
T6 |
431-453 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MATERIALS AND METHODS: |
T7 |
454-573 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We examined 68 children (57 girls, 11 boys, age range 9.1-16.0 years, mean age 11.0 years) recently diagnosed with JIA. |
T8 |
574-632 |
Sentence |
denotes |
None had received any specific treatment for inflammation. |
T9 |
633-722 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Symptomatic TMJ involvement was diagnosed when one or more of the following were present: |
T10 |
723-869 |
Sentence |
denotes |
1) recurrent pain (spontaneous or on movement of the jaw); 2) crepitation; 3) feeling of stiffness or fatigue of the jaw; 4) intermittent locking. |
T11 |
870-1050 |
Sentence |
denotes |
US of the TMJ was performed in static and dynamic phases with a General Electric LOGIQ7 scanner and a linear transducer (8.5 MHz) positioned along the axis of the mandibular ramus. |
T12 |
1051-1109 |
Sentence |
denotes |
JE was diagnosed when the joint capsule was ≥1.5 mm thick. |
T13 |
1110-1118 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
T14 |
1119-1249 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Forty-six out (68%) of 68 children had US evidence of TMJ effusions (bilateral in 16 [35%] cases), but only 2/46 were symptomatic. |
T15 |
1250-1262 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
T16 |
1263-1417 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These data suggest that children with early stage oligoarticular JIA children are likely to have inflammation of the TMJs even in the absence of symptoms. |
T17 |
1418-1599 |
Sentence |
denotes |
US is a simple-to-use, noninvasive, radiation-free tool that can provide useful information in the assessment and follow-up of TMJ involvement in children and young adults with JIA. |
