[Role of total systems' connective tissue disease in the development of posttraumatic changes in the temporomandibular joint].
The aim of our work was to ascertain the relationship between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) complications of jaw fractures and displasia of connective tissue (DCT). The results of this investigation suggest, that DCT is an important factor of risk for joint disturbance such as arthritis and osteoarthrosis of TMJ.
