Clinical Outcomes of First-Line Temporomandibular Joint Arthrocentesis Versus Arthrocentesis Following Anti-Inflammatory Treatment
Sponsor: Bahçeşehir University
Summary
This prospective comparative clinical study evaluates the clinical outcomes of temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis in patients diagnosed with disc displacement without reduction. Patients undergoing arthrocentesis as a first-line treatment are compared with patients undergoing arthrocentesis following an insufficient response to anti-inflammatory treatment. Pain intensity, assessed using a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and maximum mouth opening (MMO), measured in millimeters, are evaluated at baseline, immediately before arthrocentesis, and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the procedure.
