title: [The temporomandibular joint from the rheumatologic viewpoint].
abstract: Temporomandibular joint affections in rheumatic disease are described. They were seen in inflamed joint diseases, mostly in rheumatoid arthritis, and less so in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Reiter's syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, and collagen vascular disease. In osteoarthrosis, the temporomandibular joint affection occurs frequently but pain seems to occur most infrequently. We must bear in mind that a painful temporomandibular joint could be a symptom of myalgia, especially fibrositis syndrome with its painful tendon.
