摘要
Six partially or fully edentulous rheumatoid patients participated in the study. By comparing the clinical symptoms and tomograms of the temporomandibular joints (TMJS) pre‐prosthesis with those post‐prosthesis, this report assesses whether dental treatment could provide positive help for TMJS in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Among the clinical symptoms of TMJ dysfunction, pain from the TMJ region and limitations of movement were improved in all the patients post‐prosthesis. Tomographic evidence of desirable remodelling of the condylar heads was observed in two cases. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
