Abstract

TMJ dysfunction is a therapeutic challenge in the oral and maxillofacial clinic. Although TMJ pain and dysfunction can be caused by many different aetiologic factors, the role played by inflammation as an underlying mechanism of pain and dysfunction of the TMJ has played a major role. TMD patients having pain and tenderness for prolonged period of time will show signs of inflammation biochemically as well as radiographically. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of arthrocentesis in patients suffering from TMJ disc disorders. Materials and Methods A Total Of 60 Subjects Suffering From Tmj Disc Disorders Were Selected And Treated By Arthrocentesis. The Subjects Were Followed Up For A Period Of Two Year. Results The mean maximal mouth opening prior to arthro-centesis was 30.10 mm and after the procedure the mean maximal mouth opening was 45.3 mm. The mean right and left lateral movements before arthrocentesis were 6.15mm and 6.59mm respectively, and the mean right and left lateral movements of 9.09 and 9.21 respectively were present after the procedure. The mean degree of pain before arthrocentesis was 7.7, and after the procedure the mean degree of pain was 1.03 as per the visual analogue scale.
