Arthrocentesis
Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the injection of fluid into the affected joints. It can help wash out chemical byproducts of inflammation, thus alleviating the pressure that triggers joint pain and stiffness. You can also regain range of motion in the jaw. This is a safe and quick treatment option for RMJ dysfunction with a high success rate compared to other approaches. That’s why it is often the first-line treatment. You would even go home on the same day. [4]
