Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to determinate temeporomandibular disorders TMDs and levels of biomarkers in 30 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 30 healthy controls

Aims are

to determine TMDs symptoms in both groups using a validated Reasearch Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders RDCTMD protocol
to determine levels of interleukin-4 IL-4 interleukin-18 IL-18 and interferon-gamma IFN-γ in saliva and serum in RA patients and control group
to determine levels of biomarkers Ca Mg P ASTALTALPGGTurate in serum of RA patients and control group
investigate the correlation between cytokines level in saliva and serum
to determine the effect of TMDs on cytokine and biomarker levels Participants will be clinicaly examined by DMD in accordance with the RDCTMD guidelines to receive both Axis I and Axis II diagnoses After examination participants would be asked for saliva and blood sample
Detailed Description: Rheumatoid arthritis RA is chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by symmetrical peripheral polyarthritis with consequent joint destruction Predominantly affecting wrist and foot joints RA can also affect temporomandibular joint TMJ causing temporomandibular disorders TMDs 4-80 of RA patients suffer from TMDs

It remains unclear why some RA patients do not have TMDs and dont suffer from orofacial pain depression and somatization The present study was therefore designed to explore the level of cytokines and biochemical parameters from saliva and serum in RA patients and control participants to examine their correlation with TMDs Study results could provide valuable insights for the understanding of the orofacial pain and depression onset in RA patients Participants would be examined by a non-blinded examiner with knowledge to which group the patient was in After intraoral examination Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders RDCTMD will be used as an international diagnostic protocol for TMDs Assessment included clinical examination of TMJs and masticatory muscles with measurement of mandibular dynamics The participants will be requested to spit 2 mL of unstimulated saliva into a sterile tube with their head slightly bended forward Saliva samples were stored at -20 until analysis Blood samples will be collected in Vacutaners Serum calcium Ca magnesium Mg phosphate P uric acid alanine aminotransferase ALT aspartate aminotransferase AST and alkaline phosphatase ALP and gamma-glutamyltransferase GGT were measured up to 6 hours after collection Serum aliquots were stored at -20 until cytokine analysis An Invitrogen assays were used to analyze salivary and serum concentration of IL-4IL-18 and IFN-γ
