Abstract

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) results in significant morbidity that includes an adverse impact on oral health that is generally not well recognized. This review describes current literature which demonstrates poor oral health in children with JIA. The impact of JIA on oral health is probably multifactorial and these factors are discussed. This review emphasizes the role of paediatric dentistry in the multidisciplinary management of JIA and highlights the need for further research.

KEY WORDS: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Oral health, Dental caries, Periodontal disease, Saliva, Temporomandibular joint, Medication, Sugar-free medicines, Therapy.
