   Abstract : Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children. The disease can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and cause orofacial growth disturbances, pain, and jaw dysfunction. TMJ arthritis is often asymptomatic and therefore a challenging joint to diagnose. READ MORE

4. 2. Neuropeptides in temporomandibular joint arthritis

   Author : Anna Appelgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adjuvant; Arthritis; Calcitonin gene-related peptide; Glucocorticosteroids; Hippocampus; Hyperalgesia; Hypothalamus; Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; Intra-articular temperature; Neurokinin A; Neuropeptides; Neuropeptide Y; Nociception; Pain; Pituitary; Pressure pain threshold; Rheumatoid arthritis; Substance P; Synovial fluid; Temporomandibularjoint; Visual analog scale;

   Abstract : Involvement of the peripheral and central nervous systems in the pathophysiology of arthritis has been suggested and neuropeptides are thought to participate in the mediation and modulation of the inflammatory process. The main objective of the clinical studies was to investigate the relationship between the presence of neuropeptides in the synovial fluid of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the stomatognathic symptoms and signs, including the intra-articular temperature (IAT), in patients with TMJ arthritis.

5. 3. Psoriasis and Temporomandibular Joint Involvement in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) : A Longitudinal Study of the Nordic JIA Cohort

   Author : Maria Ekelund; Lillemor Berntson; Boel Andersson Gäre; Anders Fasth; Anders Forslund; Andreas Thor; Josefin Lysell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; arthritis; juvenile idiopathic arthritis; juvenile psoriatic arthritis; temporomandibular arthritis; classification; Pediatrik; Pediatrics; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, JIA, is used as an umbrella term covering a heterogeneous group of chronic arthritis forms in children, many of which have important differences compared to adult arthritis, while others possibly represent similar diseases among children and adults. Classification aims to give a better understanding of the pathogenesis, patterns, disease trajectories and treatment responses. READ MORE

6. 4. Pain and disability in the jaw and neck regions after whiplash trauma : a short- and long-term perspective

   Author : Ewa Lampa; Birgitta Häggman-Henrikson; Anders Wänman; Erik Nordh; Malin Ernberg; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : Whiplash trauma, a hyperextension-flexion trauma to the neck that is often related to a car accident, affects tens of thousands in Sweden every year. A significant proportion will develop long-term symptoms including neck pain and dysfunction – this is embraced as Whiplash associated disorders (WAD). READ MORE

7. 5. Temporomandibular joint involvement by systemic inflammatory disease with reference to pain modulation and joint tissue destruction

   Author : Ülle Voog; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Acute phase proteins; Computed tomography; Cytokines; Granisetron; Inflammation; Pain; Serotonin; Temporomandibular joint; Visual Analogue Scale.;

   Abstract : Systemic inflammatory diseases may cause progressive destruction in the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ). Involvement of this joint is associated with many clinical signs and symptoms of which pain is a major problem. READ MORE
