Synopsis

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) differs markedly from adult rheumatoid arthritis. It is not a single disease, but an exclusion diagnosis that encompasses all forms of arthritis that begin before the age of 16 years, persist for more than six weeks and are of unknown origin. New biological treatments have dramatically changed the observed responses to treatment and the expectations of therapies. The effects of this process on the temporomandibular joint and facial growth are progressive and can be debilitating. This review will include interdisciplinary medical, dental and surgical management of this clinical entity.

Learning Objectives
  1. Identify the various clinical entities that make up the group of diseases labeled Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
  2. List and describe the specific morphologic facial features of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis as well as the controversies of surgical treatment.
  3. List current medical testing and treatment modalities for non-surgical management of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
