  • Title: The temporomandibular joint in rheumatoid arthritis--a comparative clinical and tomographic study pre- and post-prosthesis.
    Author: Sato H, Fujii H, Takada H, Yamada N.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 1990 Mar; 17(2):165-72. PubMed ID: 2341957.
    Abstract:
    Six partially or fully edentulous rheumatoid patients participated in the study. By comparing the clinical symptoms and tomograms of the temporomandibular joints (TMJS) pre-prosthesis with those post-prosthesis, this report assesses whether dental treatment could provide positive help for TMJS in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Among the clinical symptoms of TMJ dysfunction, pain from the TMJ region and limitations of movement were improved in all the patients post-prosthesis. Tomographic evidence of desirable remodelling of the condylar heads was observed in two cases.
