Arthrocentesis and lavage for treating temporomandibular joint disorders

Evaluation of validity and reliability of a methodology for measuring human postural attitude and its relation to temporomandibular joint disorders

“…A previous study by Fuentes et al (13) showed that individuals who had an imbalance at the level of the shoulders had more tenderness in their temporal and masseter muscles, as compared to those with hip misalignment; similar results were reported by Zonnenberg et al (12) Hansson et al (2) reported that an imbalance of the pelvis can cause TMJDs and Guo et al (16) established that the prevalence of TMJDs in the adult population is around 20%-30%, affecting adults aged 20-40 years.…”

Effectiveness of liquid Platelet Rich Fibrin (i-PRF) in treatment of Temporomandibular disorders (TMD)- A randomized non-blinded, 2 arm, parallel trial

“…A popular procedure is TMJ lavage, however it was not conducted in the current study as its effectiveness for TMD management is still controversial. Guo et al 14 in a systematic Cochrane review stated presence of insufficient evidence in relation to lavage and arthrocentesis for TMD management. Sahlstrom et al 15 in a short-term RCT stated that there was no improvement in TMJ pain and mouth opening of the patients after lavage.…”

A customized guide device for single needle arthrocentesis on temporomandibular joint

“…Leukotriene B4 and prostaglandin E2 were observed in the synovial fluid on biochemical analysis. Neglecting this could allow development of osteoarthritis and can lead to severe consequences such as morphologic change of the condyle, open bite, pain, and mouth opening limitations 13 , 21 . Here, arthrocentesis offers a good treatment option by lavage of the inflammatory components.…”
