Involvement of the temporomandibular joints in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis usually leads to destruction of the mandibular condyles with consistent growth disturbances and facial anomalies. Due to its frequently silent course, temporomandibular arthritis tends to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In addition to drug therapy, orthodontics and physiotherapy are essential to prevent further progression and restore lost temporomandibular function.
幼年特发性关节炎患儿的颞下颌关节受累通常会导致下颌髁突破坏，并伴有持续的生长发育障碍和面部畸形。由于颞下颌关节炎的病程往往较为隐匿，因此在诊断和治疗方面颇具挑战。除药物治疗外，正畸治疗和物理治疗对于防止病情进一步发展以及恢复颞下颌关节丧失的功能至关重要。
