“…Several predisposing factors associated with temporomandibular joint degenerative diseases are gender (females), nutrition, genetics, oral habits (bruxism) and acute and chronic overload. Juvenile idiopathic condylar resorption has also been recently reported to cause significant destruction of the joint in the adolescent years [2][3][4][5][6]. The diagnosis of patients with TMJ disorders is performed by clinical and radiographic investigation [7].…”

Background and Objectives: One form of treatment for degenerative temporomandibular joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis, TMJ ankylosis, and condylar resorption is total joint replacement. The aim of this study was to examine the function of the temporomandibular joint after total joint replacement. Materials and methods: Fifteen patients with unilateral or bilateral TMJ total joint replacements and 15 healthy controls were evaluated via a SICAT JMT+ device. This non-invasive system measures 3D position and linear movements in all degrees of freedom and allows undisturbed functional mandibular movements to provide a quantitative evaluation. In addition, a TMJ questionnaire consisting of the subjective symptoms was also obtained. To date, no similar studies have been cited in the literature. Results: Mandibular movements after total joint replacement were recorded during opening, closing, protrusion, and lateral excursive movements and were all significantly decreased compared to those of controls. In the treatment group, the maximum incisal opening was 33.46 ± 5.47 mm, left lateral movement was 1.91 ± 2.7 mm, right lateral movement was 1.74 ± 1.74 mm, and protrusive movement was 2.83 ± 2.05 mm. The p-value comparison study and control group indicated significant difference (p < 0.0001) between the two groups. The study group stated a high level of satisfaction with the total joint replacement. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) TMJ replacement patients showed significantly limited jaw movements compared to the control group; (2) a small percentage of TMJ replacement patients still present low levels of pain but improved chewing ability and quality of life.

A 3D CBCT Analysis of Airway and Cephalometric Values in Patients Diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Compared to a Control Group

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is affected in 30–45% of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients, with all JIA subtypes at risk for TMJ involvement. JIA patients with TMJ involvement may present with altered craniofacial morphology, including micrognathia, mandibular retrognathia, a hyperdivergent mandibular plane angle, and skeletal anterior open bite. These features are also commonly present and associated with non-JIA pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Materials and Methods: The study was comprised of a group of 32 JIA patients and a group of 32 healthy control subjects. CBCT images were taken for all patients and were imported into Dolphin Imaging software. The Dolphin Imaging was used to measure the upper airway volumes and the most constricted cross-sectional areas of each patient. Cephalometric images were rendered from the CBCT data for each patient, and the following cephalometric values were identified: SNA angle, SNB angle, ANB angle, anterior facial height (AFH), posterior facial height (PFH), mandibular plane angle (SN-MP), FMA (FH-MP), overjet (OJ), and overbite (OB). Airway volumes, the most constricted cross-sectional area values, and cephalometric values were compared between the JIA and control groups. Results: For airway values, statistically significant differences were seen in the nasopharynx airway volume (p = 0.004), total upper airway volume (p = 0.013), and the most constricted cross-sectional area (p = 0.026). The oropharynx airway volume was not statistically significant (p = 0.051). For cephalometric values, only the posterior facial height showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.024). Conclusions: There was a significant difference in airway dimensions in the JIA patients as compared to the control patients. In addition, the posterior facial dimensions seem to be affected in JIA patients. The ODDs ratio analysis further corroborated the findings that were significant.
