Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
evaluate and compare three different methods of management i.e., arthrocentesis, i-PRF injection, and a combination of the two in unilateral temporomandibular disorder in terms of TMJ pain relief, based on VAS scale evaluated after the 3rd month post intervention.Timepoint: 10 th day ,1 month and 3 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
â?¢ To assess the change in maximum inter-incisal mouth opening â?¢ To assess the change in lateral and protrusive movement To evaluate the effect on the clicking of the joint â?¢ To evaluate the effect in the deviation and deflection of mandible â?¢ To evaluate the effect on the muscles of mastication â?¢ To assess the impact of internal derangements on the quality of the life using oral health impact questionnaire â?¢ To assess the severity of the temporomandibular disorder using the Fonseca questionnaire â?¢ To assess the psychological aspect of the patient based on the perceived stress scale questionnaire â?¢ To evaluate the disc changes following the intervention through the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based on the following variables in MRI findings: 1. Shape of the disc 2. Relation between disc and condyle 3. Signal intensity in joint space 4. Degree of disc displacement Timepoint: clinical evaluation at 10h day,1 month and 3 months and oral health impact,perceived stress scale questionnare and Fonseca questionnare at 0 and 3rd month
