Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Brief summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular injection of platelet rich plasma versus hyaluronic acid following diagnostic arthroscopy in the management of patients suffering from degenerative temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This is a prospective randomized study of 20 patients with TMJ degenerative joint diseases Wilkes IV, V. Patients will be divided into two groups; Group A: will be treated with operative arthroscopy plus intra-articular platelet rich plasma. Group B: will be treated with operative arthroscopy plus intra-articular hyaluronic acid.

Interventions

PROCEDURETemporomandibular joint arthroscopy plus intra-articular injection

patients with TMJ degenerative joint diseases Wilkes stages IV, V not responding to conservative treatment will undergo operative diagnostic arthroscopic treatment then at the end of the procedure intra-articular injection of platelet rich plasma or hyaluronic acid will be done.
