Intra-articular Injection in Arthroscopic Management of Temporomandibular Diseases
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Active Comparator: arthroscopy plus platelet rich plasma. Group A: will be treated with operative arthroscopy plus intra-articular injection of platelet rich plasma |
Procedure: Temporomandibular 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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in maximum inter-incisal mouth opening [change from baseline maximum interincisal mouth opening in millimeters at 6 months postoperative]
change in maximum inter-incisal mouth opening will be measured in millimeters
- Change in pain intensity [change from preoperative pain intensity according to 100 -point visual analogue scale at 6 months postoperative]
A 100 -point visual analogue scale (VAS) for the assessment of pain intensity with 0 as the absence of pain and 100 as the worst pain imaginable With filled standardized charts.
