Abstract
In the past decade, the consequences of temporomandibular joint arthritis in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis have received increasing attention. Intra-articular corticosteroid injections have been suggested as a treatment option, but concerns that this treatment could reduce mandibular growth have been raised and are supported by new data published in The Journal of Rheumatology.
