Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical success and efficacy of single-needle, double-cannula arthrocentesis with conventional arthrocentesis techniques in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders. Patients with nonreducible disc displacement complained of limited mouth opening and/or pain. All treated patients had baseline and follow-up (with mouth opening and VAS). Comparisons were made within and between groups.

Conditions

  • TMJ Disc Disorder

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Singel Needle Double Cannula TMJ Arthrocentesis

Artocentesis describes the lavage of the TMJ by introducing a saline/ringer lactate solution through a needle inserted into the upper joint cavity. TMJ arthrocentesis was first introduced as a double needle entry method by Nitzan et al in 1991. The single needle technique was developed by Singh and Varghese and introduced in 2013. The single needle method is a more simplified modification of the first method.
