Summary

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common conditions in society, characterised by symptoms such as pain, limited movement and joint noises, which negatively affect an individual's quality of life. The primary goal of treatment is to restore the physiological functions of the joint by eliminating the aetiological factors. In cases where conservative methods prove ineffective, arthrocentesis, a minimally invasive approach, comes to the fore. Arthrocentesis aims to reduce pain by removing inflammatory mediators and to increase joint mobility. In this study, the intraoperative parameters and clinical outcomes of different arthrocentesis techniques were compared and evaluated in patients with Wilkes stage 2-3 TME disorders.
