| Popis: | Research has shown that Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) has an adverse effect on oral health. Patients with JIA have poor oral hygiene and higher levels of dental decay compared to healthy individuals [1]. The effect of JIA on manual dexterity and temporomandibular joint involvement can affect the patient's ability to perform good oral hygiene. Recent research has shown that other rheumatic disorders have a similar pathogenesis to periodontal disease. Oral health education is not routinely provided in the management of JIA. Good oral health can be achieved by following oral hygiene guidance, utilising dental health services and accessing dental interventions. Dental interventions which significantly reduce dental carries include fluoride varnish and fissure sealant; they are available to all children on the NHS. |
