A study of the influence of juvenile adjuvant arthritis on dental hard tissues condition in experimental animals.

Abstract

Despite particular achievements in medicine, adequate treatment of dental caries in children with somatic pa- thology is important in pediatric dentistry. It is well known that the growth and development of all systems of the child’s body, including the dentognathic system, occurs under the influence of many factors of internal and external environment. There is a high susceptibility of teeth to cariogenic factors in children in the presence of autoimmune diseases, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). Increasing of prevalence and activity of dental caries, the development of multiple foci of enamel demineralization in children with JRA have been clinically proven.
