4. Also called

A
  1. From a closed mouth position, the “temporarily”
    misaligned disc reduces or improves its
    structural relation with the condyle during
    translation resulting in a joint noise (clicking or
    popping).
  2. Reciprocal click (opening/closing click)
  3. Asymptomatic clicking does not require
    treatment.

4. Local anesthetic &/or steroids?

A
  1. Needle is inserted into the superior joint
    space and lactated Ringer’s solution is
    used to distend joint space. Done under
    IV sedation.
  2. A second needle is then placed into the
    superior joint space and the TMJ is
    lavaged.
  3. During arthrocentesis, the jaw can be
    gently manipulated to increase range of
    motion since patient is sedated.
  4. Local anesthetic &/or steroids are
    injected at completion of procedure for
    pain management.
26
Q

ARTHROCENTESIS

A

 Once procedure is done, patient will need physical
therapy and possibly an anterior repositioning splint
to keep disc from becoming non-reducing and to
help prevent re-formation of fibrous adhesions or
capsular constriction.
 The disc may displace in the future

27
Q

ARTHROCENTESIS INDICATIONS

For treatment of intra-articular joint restrictions of jaw movement. Examples follow:

    1. Acute closed lock with limited ROM that does not resolve. Best success occurs if procedure is done within 2-3 weeks following jaw locking.
  2. Acute pain in TMJ not responsive to medications and conservative treatment (i.e. splint therapy , physical therapy or intra-articular steroid injection).
28

3. further research?

A
  1. A recent prospective, randomized clinical trial found arthroscopy no better than physical therapy in the treatment of restricted jaw range of motion and pain due to intraarticular disease.
