Popis: TMJ arthritis occurs in up to 80% of children with JIA and it has been described in all JIA subtypes. TMJ arthritis can develop anytime during the course of JIA, even when patients are asymptomatic or on biologic therapy. As it can also occur in the absence of clinically evident arthritis outside the TMJ, a precocious evaluation by maxillofacial surgery is suggested.
