Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting psoriatic patients. Its clinical manifestations in patients can vary over time, advancing from one joint to the next with an intermittent pattern of exacerbation and remission. The condition shares similar manifestations with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, and reactive arthritis; hence, a comprehensive examination is required for a proper diagnosis and management. It is associated with an increased risk of comorbidities affecting patients' well-being. There have been few incidences of involvement extending to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), but a proper record needs to be maintained to evaluate its part in PsA. In this report, we present a case of PsA in which the patient complained of ear pain and was discovered to have early alterations in the TMJ.

Background: Migraine is a neurological disorder that is chronic and presents with episodes of paroxysmal features consisting of multiphase attacks of head pain, along with other symptoms related to neurological dysfunction such as sensitivity to movement, photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and vomiting. Antiseizure medications are frequently used for the treatment of migraine. Of the antiseizure medications, sodium valproate and topiramate have received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent adult migraine.

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) involves various conditions affecting the anatomy and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Hence, this study evaluated pain perception and morbidity after dental implant surgeries in patients with and without TMD.
Material And Methods: It is a prospective randomized clinical trial with 50 participants with and without TMD, randomly selected for rehabilitation procedures with dental implants.
Incidental findings from cone-beam computed tomography in children and adolescents: a systematic review.

School of Medical Sciences, Division of Dentistry, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.
Purpose: The use of cone-beam computed tomographies (CBCT) in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry is constantly increasing. The aim of this systematic review was to critically appraise and summarize evidence from clinical studies on the prevalence of incidental findings from CBCTs of children and adolescents.
Methods: Systematic literature searches without restrictions were undertaken in eight databases from inception up to March 2024 for studies reporting on incidental findings from CBCT images of children and adolescents.
Orthognathic surgery-related condylar resorption in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion versus class III malocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Oral Health

School of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, 28040, Spain.
Background: Orthodontic-orthognathic treatment is the standard of care for moderate and/or severe skeletal class III (SCIII) malocclusion. Following orthognathic surgery, morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint structures (TMJ) may contribute to condylar resorption (CR).
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the morphological signs of condylar resorption (changes in the condylar head, position, neck, disk, and joint space) following orthognathic surgery in patients with SCIII compared with those with skeletal class II (SCII) malocclusion.
Effectiveness of Occlusal Splints in the Management of Temporomandibular Disorders: Comparisons of Treatment Approaches and Digital Versus Conventional Fabrication Techniques.

College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, SAU.
This research explores the types and effectiveness of occlusal splints in managing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). TMDs encompass a range of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions affecting the jaw, causing pain, limited movement, and discomfort. Occlusal splints, also known as bite guards, are commonly used in dentistry to alleviate TMD symptoms by relaxing jaw muscles, preventing joint trauma, and protecting teeth.
