The Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) can lead in children to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) damage with facial development and growth alterations. 30 children with TMJ involvement by JIA were observed by CBCT. The whole mandibular volume and its components’ volumes, condyle; ramus; body; symphysis has been calculated by a 3D volume rendering technique.

Abstract
The Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) can lead in children to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) damage with facial development and growth alterations. 30 children with TMJ involvement by JIA were observed by CBCT. The whole mandibular volume and its components’ volumes, condyle; ramus; body; symphysis has been calculated by a 3D volume rendering technique. The results show a high statistically significant difference between affected side volumetric values versus normal side volumetric values above all on condyle region (P<0,01). The early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of JIA can relieve pain and inflammation and might help to prevent progressive joint involvement and damage.
