The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of double puncture arthrocentesis and anterior repositioning splints in the treatment of internal derangement of temporomandibular joint. 35 patients with mean age of 36.6 years ± 10.2 years diagnosed with unilateral TMD who fell into Wilkes stage 2 and disc displacement with reduction with intermittent locking described by RDC/TMD were treated with Nitzan's double puncture arthrocentesis and were given a anterior repositioning hard splint. The parameters following parameters were assessed at intervals of 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months: pain, maximum inter-incisal mouth opening, Joint noise/click. Statistically significant ( < 0.001) improvements were seen at all recorded intervals in all observed parameters. Simultaneous arthrocentesis and anterior repositioning splint therapy is effective in alleviating pain and improving mouth opening without discomfort in patients with unilateral painful TMD showing disc displacement with reduction with intermittent locking.

Purpose: This study aimed at comparing the therapeutic effect of nalbuphine in comparison to morphine after Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis in patients with anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four female patients diagnosed with ADDwoR. Patients were treated with TMJ arthrocentesis then randomly divided into parallel groups.

Although various authors employed various entry points for the double-puncture technique (DPT) for arthrocentesis, the literature is devoid of any comparative studies. Therefore, the current prospective study aimed to evaluate the versatility of these different points. A total of 144 TMJs in 108 patients were included and randomly divided into two categories according to ID stage: category I (disc displacement without reduction with limitation), and category II (disc displacement without reduction without limitation).

Background: This study aimed to investigate the range of angles and depths necessary for effective entry into the TMJ using CBCT images, focusing on classical Holmlund Hellsing points and a two-needle approach.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of CBCT images from January 2020 to November 2023 was analysed using 3D analysis to determine the variance in the required angles and depths.
Results: The average age of the 68 participants included in the study was 29.

Introduction: The development of temporomandibular disorders specifically emphasizes the biochemical changes occurring in the synovial fluid at different stages of temporomandibular joint disease. Research has indicated that inflammation may be a primary reason behind the pain and dysfunction in temporomandibular joint diseases. Since its clearance several years ago, MESNA (sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate) has been used in various formulations as a mucolytic drug in the respiratory domain.

Background: Synovial hemangiomas are rare benign vascular anomalies surrounded by a synovial lining and were first described by Bouchut in 1856. These neoplasms can develop in the intra-articular region, resulting in effusions and knee pain. However, their cause remains unknown.
