Summary

The present study will be designed to compare the short- and medium-term results of arthrocentesis and non-surgical methods Rocabado approach in early disc displacement without reduction.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, Articular Disc Disorder (Reducing or Non-Reducing)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Rocabado approach exercise program 6×6 and manibulation .

Rocabado's approach (Rocabado's 6 × 6 Exercises and manipulation). This program included 6 exercises to be performed 6 times a day, repeated 6 times, and three gliding exercises.

PROCEDURE

Arthrocentesis

The procedure was performed as follows: Anesthesia: Local anesthesia was administered to the area surrounding the TMJ. Needle Insertion: A 20-gauge needle was inserted into the upper joint space approximately 10 mm anterior to the tragus.
