Abstract

Introduction: There are various reports regarding the frequency of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (RA). Manifestations of TMJ involvement, which was investigated in this study, are: joint pain and sounds, muscles tenderness, morning stiffness, decreased force bite, and radiographic changes.Methods and Materials: 80 RA patients and 80 normal persons were included as case and controlgroups respectively. The diagnosis of RA was determined according to the criteria of American College of Rheumatology (1987) and confirmed by a rheumatologist. Inclusion criteria for control group were similarity of age and sex with RA group, and no history of RA or other bone-joint diseases.All patients were assessed for clinical signs and symptoms of TMJ involvement.Results: In all aspects, the frequency of TMJ involvement was significantly higher in RA group than control group (p<0.00l). Crepitus was the most prevalent joint sound among RA patients. The incidence of TMJ manifestations, increased with increasing age and duration of RA (p<0.00l). 61.2% of RA patients had at least one of the 4 signs of TMJ involvement, including pain, sounds, muscle tenderness and limited opening. In control group the prevalence of this finding was 38.7%. 61% of RA patients had bilateral involvement.Conclusion: According to this study, prevalence of TMJ involvement is significantly higher in RA patients than normal individuals. However, patients may not complain from joint pain or muscle tenderness, but there may be other signs and symptoms such as limited mouth opening and joint sounds-which could be indicative of TMJ problems. According to the results, the frequency of TMJ involvement increased with increasing age and duration of RA affliction.
