Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) is an of autoimmune inflammatory systemic disease. It is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of synovial tissue and a wide array multisystem comorbidities. The disease may involve any joint of the body, but often statrs in the peripheral joints. It was reported that more than 50% of RA patients exhibit clinical involvement of TMJ. This report is a case report of dental management and progression for 16 months in patients who had severe bony change in TMJ involved rheumatoid arthritis Dental management was included palliative treatment such as interocclusal splints, physical therapy, mouth opening exercise. Although it was progressed rapidly osteolytic bone change during follow-up, no more advanced occulsal change and improved symptom and jaw motion. Further investigations about rule of dentistry in TMJ involvement in RA maybe needed.

류마티스 관절염은 다발성 관절염을 특징으로 하는 원인 불명의 진행성 염증성 질환이다. 초기에는 관절활막이 침습되지만 점차 주위의 연골과 골이 침습되어 관절의 파괴와 변형을 초래한다. 류마티스 관절염은 손목관절, 중수지관절과 근위지절간관절이 침범하기 쉽고 그 밖의 여러 관절에서도 나타날 수 있으며 측두하악관절에서도 빈번하게 나타나는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이 증례에서는 다른 관절에서 보다 측두하악관절에서 두드러지고 급속하게 진행되었다. 의과적 약물 치료와 더불어 16개월동안의 교합안정장치 및 물리 치료, 운동요법을 통한 치과적 처치와 측두하악관절의 경과를 보고한다. 치료중 급속한 관절의 파괴는 있었으나 더 이상의 교합변화는 없었고 하악운동과 통증은 상당히 개선되었다. 다른 관절에 비해 측두하악관절에 두드러지게 나타나게 되는 요인과 이를 가속화시키는 요인에 대해서는 앞으로의 연구가 더 필요할 것이다.
