Abstract
The relationship between clinical findings in the craniomandibular system and radiologic findings in the temporomandibular joint was investigated in 101 adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Radiologic changes were correlated with duration and severity of temporomandibular joint symptoms and general joint disease. The radiologic changes were also associated with loss of occlusal support, anterior open bite, and occlusal interferences. Most joints with crepitus exhibited radiologic erosion. Joints with mutilating changes were silent.Entities:
