Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of the study is to evaluate the applicability, accuracy, benefits and the efficacy of 3-dimensional, printed, patient-specific guides to direct TMJ access for arthrocentesis when performed in contrast with conventional arthrocentesis of TMJ.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients who complain from signs and symptoms of internal derangements and were diagnosed by the RDC/TMD as having disc displacement with/ without reduction with / without limitation associated with arthralgia or as having disc displacement with reduction associated with arthralgia in a presence or absence of joint sounds.
  • Patients who did not responded to conservative treatment for a minimum of 3 months.
  • Obtaining written informed consents signed by the patients.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients suffering from any muscular disorders as myofascial pain or myofascial pain with limitations
  • If the disc was not visible in the MRI examination.
  • Patients who previously received intra-articular injection of any medication or exposed to any other TMJ invasive procedure.
  • Patients who suffer from any connective tissue diseases as rheumatoid arthritis or neurologic disorders.
