European Journal of Orthodontics , 01/27/09
Hu Y et al. - Study concludes that although juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) pts share occlusal characteristics with non-JIA pts with a Class II division 1 malocclusion, they are different with regard to the prevalence of condylar lesions and anterior open bites (AOBs), as well as SNA and SNB angles and lower anterior face heights (LAFH).
Methods- Aim was to study facial, functional, and occlusal characteristics of 100 JIA pts (35 males and 65 females; age range: 1.7–19.4 yrs) according to revised classification criteria ILAR
- They were compared with a mixed orthodontic control group (n=32; 12 males and 20 females) and with a Class II division 1 malocclusion group (n=19; eight males and 11 females)
- JIA pts and controls were evaluated using clinical assessment, dental pantomograms, lateral cephalograms (LCGs), and dental casts
- JIA pts showed a greater prevalence of AOBs
- Cephalometrically, a larger mandibular plane and SNA angles and a smaller interincisal angle were found
- JIA pts showed a larger SNA; Wilcoxon matched pairs test and SNB angles and smaller lower anterior face heights
- No differences were found for the mandibular plane, the gonial and the interincisal angles, or total face height
