Evaluation of remission of temporomandibular joints pain as a result of treatment of dysfunction using intraarticular injection.

UNLABELLED: The temporomandibular joint pain, which occurs in the course of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, is one of the main clinical problems in the treatment of joint disc displacement. The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in temporomandibular joints pain in treatment supporting disc displacement without reduction using intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma.

MATERIAL AND

METHODS

The study consisted of a group of 60 patients, aged 35-49, who reported for treatment, because of pain in the preauricural area. The functional examination stated disk dicplacement without reduction, along with the accompanying pain of temporomandibular joints. Patients were treated between January 2015 and February 2017. They were divided into two groups of 30 persons. The intraarticular injection of hyaluronic acid was administered in the I-test group, and the injection of platelet-rich plasma in the control group. This treatment was carried out parallel to the use of repositioning splits.

THE

RESULTS

Analysis of regression of symptoms other than intensity of pain during the treatment, evaluated in this study shows a decrease of individual symptoms, but the results of the regression of pain between two groups did not differ statistically significantly, because "p" is bigger than 0.05.

CONCLUSION

The results of the research show the clinical benefits of application of hyaluronic acid and plate rich plasma in the treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
