Knowledge Gaps in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: A Systematic Mapping

“…There was no evidence to support the efficacy of combined palliative and anti-inflammatory medication for treatment of disc displacement without reduction (44). Because of insufficient scientific evidence, the focus question, as to which surgical intervention has the best effect on various temporomandibular joint disorders, could not be answered (45;46;48). Comparing conservative treatment with temporomandibular lavage, a slightly better effect on pain relief was noted for the latter (47).…”

Temporomandibular Lavage Versus Nonsurgical Treatments for Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…The review was recently withdrawn because it does not meet the current methodologic standards of the Cochrane Collaboration. 15 Murakami et al 16 enrolled 108 patients to participate in a prospective nonrandomized clinical trial with 3 treatment arms: arthroscopy, arthrocentesis, and nonsurgical. Patients improved significantly within each group, but the difference between treatments was not significant for pain and jaw motion.…”

TMJ Disc Displacement without Reduction Management

“…Previous Cochrane reviews for arthrocentesis (Guo et al , 2009) or arthroscopy (Rigon et al , 2011) included 7 studies which were either included in the present review (5 studies) or did not meet our inclusion criteria (2 studies). The current review’s findings concur with these reviews in that: non-invasive conservative interventions need to be applied first; there is insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of minimally invasive and invasive surgical interventions; and there is a need for higher quality RCTs.…”
