Summary

The study focused on arthrocentesis performed using a catheter, aiming to assess its effects on pain perception and mouth opening in patients with TMJ disorders.

Detailed description

Two groups will be formed consisting of patients who present with complaints of TMJ pain, limited mouth opening and hearing sounds in the joint and are diagnosed with TMJ disorder. After explaining the I-PRF protocol obtained by taking blood to both groups and obtaining the necessary consents, arthrocentesis will be performed on the relevant joint area using a catheter for the patients in the first group and a single needle for the patients in the second group. Patients will be called for check-ups on the 1st day, 1st week and 1st month after the protocols and the current perceived pain level before and after the treatment will be determined by scoring with Visual Analog Scala (VAS) and measuring the mouth opening with a ruler ( mm).
