Temporomandibular disorders (TMD), TMJ arthritis/involvement and orofacial pain · Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
TMD and TMJ arthritis/involvement (and orofacial pain) were consistently reported more frequently in children/adolescents with JIA than in healthy peers, though several studies had small samples; no pooled estimate (ungraded).

Developmental defects of enamel measured by any validated index · Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
A single small study suggested developmental enamel defects were more frequent in children with JIA, but the evidence is insufficient (1 study; ungraded).
1 finding from 1 review
The only study reporting developmental enamel defects [22] found the condition more frequent among children with JIA than healthy peers, but the sample size was too small to draw any reliable conclusion.

Dental maturation (tooth calcification) · Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
Evidence on dental maturation was divergent across two studies (one found more advanced maturation in JIA, one found no difference); no clear conclusion (ungraded).

Dental erosive wear · Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
No eligible studies reported dental erosive wear, so its association with JIA could not be assessed (evidence gap).

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…

Caries in primary teeth: dmft (3 years) · Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
There was no significant difference in dental caries of the primary teeth (dmft) between children with JIA and healthy peers (pooled MD -1.16, 95% CI -3.02 to 0.71; 3 cross-sectional studies; very high heterogeneity I2=87.9%; ungraded).

Dental caries in permanent teeth · Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)
