Periodontal conditions (gingival inflammation, bleeding on probing, probing depth, clinical attachment loss) · Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
Periodontal conditions (gingival inflammation, bleeding, probing depth, attachment loss) were more frequently reported in children/adolescents with JIA than in healthy peers, although not all studies agreed; no pooled estimate (ungraded).
1 finding from 1 review
Many studies documented poorer periodontal status among children/adolescents with JIA: more gingival inflammation and bleeding [22, 29, 31], bleeding on probing [25], deeper probing depth [25, 26] and periodontal…
