Abstract

Abstract:
Objectives: to evaluate the efficiency of intra-articular concentrated growth factor (CGF) injection in comparison with conventional arthrocentesis in the treatment of TMD.
Subjects and Methods: Twenty patients suffering from TMD were included in the study diagnosed according to The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD) and divided into two groups as follow; ten patients underwent intra-articular injections of 2 ml CGF into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) (group I) and the other ten patients were treated by the conventional arthrocentesis (group II). The patients were clinically evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at the intervals of 1 month, 3, and 6 months.
Results: The differences between the two groups in all the measured parameters were statistically insignificant throughout the postoperative period. But CGF group showed superior result than arthrocentesis group regarding pain, mouth opening and inferior result in clicking.
Conclusion: CGF injection is a safe and effective method in the treatment of TMDs.
