No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two methods of arthrocentesis in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is surgery-guided arthrocentesis more efficient in terms of operation time compared to traditional two-needle arthrocentesis? Does the use of surgical guides lead to less postoperative pain and better patient comfort?

Participants will:

Undergo either the traditional two-needle arthrocentesis or the surgery-guided arthrocentesis.

Be monitored for operation time, postoperative pain, and overall patient comfort.

Researchers will compare the outcomes of patients who underwent traditional two-needle arthrocentesis with those who had surgery-guided arthrocentesis to see if the latter can shorten operation time and improve patient comfort.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Traditional Two-Needle Arthrocentesis

Participants in this group will undergo arthrocentesis using the traditional two-needle technique. The procedure involves the placement of one or two needles into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to irrigate the joint space. Needle placement is guided by anatomical landmarks.

PROCEDURE

Surgery-Guided Arthrocentesis

Participants in this group will receive arthrocentesis facilitated by a surgical guide. The guide is generated through pre-operative planning and is designed to aid in the accurate placement of the needle into the TMJ.
