Abstract:
Juvenile chronic arthritis (j.c.a) often affects the maxillo-facial complex over all in relation to jaw and temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ). In this work 35 j.c.a. patients (aged 6 to 16 years) have been selected and studied in order to detect functional and morphostructural involvement of stomatognathic apparatus and TMJ. The involvement of these structures is appeared significantly increased during j.c.a. also in patients without clinic symptoms referable to a stomatognathic apparatus pathology. Therefore an early diagnosis as well as a preventive orthognatodontic treatment are necessary to reduce long term effects on the stomatognathic apparatus multifunctions.

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary or...
Ankle Joint
Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
