Kononen M: Clinical signs of craniomandihular disorders in patients with psoriatic arthritis. Scand J Dent Res 1987; 95: 340-6.Abstract -110 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PA) and 110 individually matched control subjects were examined for clinical signs of craniomandibular (GM) disorders. Patients wiih VA differed significantly from control patients as regards the range of mandibular movements, tenderness to palpation ofthe masticatory muscles and TMJs, and the frequency of TMJ sounds and painful mandibular movements. In the PA-group clinical signs of GM disorders correlated with the duration, extent and severity of PA.

“…Since then, about 30 case-reports on TMJ involvetnent by PA have been published (5). However, the frequency of PA in the TMJ is not known.…”

Clinical signs of craniomandibular disorders in patients with psoriatic arthritis

European J Oral Sciences

1987

“…In the most extensive study published so far mainly erosive radiographic changes were observed, but only severe cases of PA were selected for the study (6). Clinically, TMJ involvement by PA causes pain, palpation tenderness, and gradual restriction of condylar movement (7). However, the frequency and severity of subjective symptoms of PA in the TMJ are not well known.…”

Subjective symptoms from the stomatognathic system in patients with psoriatic arthritis

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica

1986

One hundred and ten patients with psoriatic arthritis (PA group) and 110 individuals (C group) selected on the basis of sex, age, and dentition to match the PA group answered a questionnaire concerning subjective symptoms of craniomandibular (CM) disorders and general joint symptoms. Patients with PA had more frequent and more severe subjective symptoms than individuals in the C group, such as pain in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and cheeks and morning stiffness/tiredness in the jaws. In the PA group the number and severity of subjective symptoms of CM disorders correlated with the number of joints affected by PA and the severity of PA. Pain in the TMJ (reported by 32%) correlated with both the number of joints affected by PA and the severity of PA.

“…So far, only about 30 cases of PA with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement have been reported (2). Thus the frequency of clinical and radiographic signs is not well known, but, clinically, TMJ involvement in PA has been described as causing pain, palpatory tenderness, and gradual restriction of movement of the TMJ (2) and, radiographically, mainly erosive changes in the TMJ (3).…”

Craniomandibular disorders in psoriatic arthritis: Correlations between subjective symptoms, clinical signs, and radiographic changes

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica

1986

One hundred and ten patients with psoriatic arthritis (PA group) and 110 individually matched control subjects (C group) without general joint or skin disease were studied to determine correlations between radiographic changes, detected on orthopantomography, in the condyle of the temporomandibular joint and subjective symptoms and clinical signs of craniomandibular (CM) disorders. In the PA group there was a correlation, not found in the C group, between the radiographic changes, especially erosions, and subjective symptoms and clinical signs of CM disorders. The correlations found indicate that in PA subjective symptoms, clinical signs, and radiographic changes in the stomatognathic system are mainly caused by the systemic joint disease.
