Therapeutic effects of arthrocentesis in treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders

Abstract

In the observed study, arthrocentesis was effective in reducing pain, amount of analgesics per day and improving the mobility of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The results of this study we use in the ongoing project, that focuses on progressive and innovative methodology of endoscopically assisted arthrocentesis. (Tab. 4, Fig. 5, Ref. 39).
