Methods: Patients with JIA were recruited (November 2012\u2013October 2014) and disease specific information was extracted from patients\u2019 records. Oral examination included: dental findings (decayed-, missing- and filled-teeth-index (dmf-t\/DMF-T)), gingival inflammation (papilla-bleeding-index (PBI)) and periodontal screening index (PSI). Functional examination followed Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC\/TMD). Additionally, modified Helkimo\u2019s Clinical Dysfunction Index and radiographic scoring were recorded. Results: 59 JIA patients were included. The mean dmf-t\/DMF-T was 2.6. Only one patient showed no signs of gingival inflammation, while 57.6% had a maximum PSI of 2 or less. Positive functional findings were assessed clinically in more than half of the patients. Major diagnosis by RDC\/TMD was osteoarthrosis. Patients with at least one positive anamnestic or clinical functional finding revealed significantly higher radiographic scores (CI = 0.440, p = 0.022). Patients with increased c-reactive-protein had a significantly higher PBI (Z = \u20132.118, p = 0.034) and increased radiographic scores (CI = 0.408, p = 0.043). Conclusions: Adolescents suffering from JIA show high levels of caries experience and gingival inflammation. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is often seen in JIA patients. Consequently, special dental care programs would be recommendable.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9020513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,25]],"date-time":"2020-02-25T08:12:22Z","timestamp":1582618342000},"page":"513","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Comprehensive Assessment of Orofacial Health and Disease Related Parameters in Adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis\u2014A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Cordula Leonie","family":"Merle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cariology, Endodontology and Periodontology, University of Leipzig, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robin","family":"Hoffmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Practice Pr\u00f6pper,  Flachsenberg, Hoffmann, 34119 Kassel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Schmickler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cariology, Endodontology and Periodontology, University of Leipzig, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"R\u00fchlmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Practice for Pediatricy And Pediatric Rheumatology  M.
