ObjectiveTo evaluate the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) and individuals at-risk of RA.Methods150 participants were recruited in three groups (50 per group): (1) patients with ERA (2010 EULAR criteria) (2) at-risk individuals and (3) healthy controls. All participants were tested for seropositivity of rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated protein antibodies. A possible TMD diagnosis was determined according to the standardised and validated diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) in five categories: myalgia, arthralgia, articular disc displacement, degenerative joint disease and headache attributed to TMD. Results were tested for the prevalence of TMD (all categories combined) and TMD pain (myalgia and/or arthralgia). To investigate a possible role for bruxism, a probable sleep and/or awake bruxism diagnosis was determined based on self-report and several clinical features.ResultsThe prevalence of any TMD diagnosis did not differ between the three groups. However, at-risk individuals more often had a TMD-pain diagnosis than healthy controls (p=0.046). No such difference was found between the ERA group and the control group. However, within the ERA group, seronegative patients had a TMD-pain diagnosis more often than seropositive patients (4/12 (33%) vs 3/38 (8%), p=0.048). Participants with a TMD-pain diagnosis were more often diagnosed with probable sleep bruxism than those without a TMD-pain diagnosis.ConclusionThe prevalence of TMD pain is increased in individuals at-risk of RA and seronegative ERA patients, and is associated with bruxism signs and symptoms. These results suggest that health professionals should be alert to TMD pain in these groups.

Some patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis suffer with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). A 36-year-old Asian female presented to our hospital with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) symptoms, including pain. The maximum self-opening distance was 23 mm at first visit. As symptoms were worse in the morning and also started occurring in other joints, rheumatologists were consulted. The rheumatologists prescribed Etanercept (ETN), a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor which is commonly used in the early stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The use of ETN together with conservative therapy for the TMJ improved the symptoms in the affected joints. No therapy for TMJ symptoms in RA patients has yet been established. However, the findings of this case suggest that the usage of biological products from the early stage of RA and jaw-training may be possible to manage TMJ symptoms.
