Initial radiological signs of dentofacial deformity in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Abstract Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in childhood and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is often involved. TMJ arthritis in growing individuals can cause deformation of facial skeleton (dentofacial deformity) and TMJ components (TMJ deformity). Treatment...
