Abstract

Psoriatic arthritis is chronic inflammatory arthritis (seronegative) associated with psoriasis. Patients may present with different clinical symptoms as it progresses and involves multiple joints one after the other in an erratic pattern of aggravation and remission. A thorough examination is necessary for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapy of the disorder since it exhibits similar characteristics as reactive arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. There haven't been many instances of the temporomandibular joint being involved, but records have to be maintained properly to assess its role in psoriatic arthritis. Here, we present three cases of temporomandibular joint disorders associated with psoriatic arthritis.
