The two types of treatment strategies may be undertaken to counter temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, namely conservative management and surgical intervention. Surgical management can be classified into invasive open methods and minimally invasive procedures such as arthrocentesis, intra-articular steroid injection, and arthroscopy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aims:<\/jats:title>\n The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of Kenacort (Triamcinolone) as an intra-articular corticosteroid injection and arthrocentesis for lysis and lavage, for the treatment of the temporomandibular joint disorders.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Subjects and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Twenty patients with internal derangement of temporomandibular joint (IDTMJ) not responding to conservative management and meeting the inclusion criteria randomly underwent either intra-articular steroid injection or arthrocentesis and the results of the two procedures were evaluated and compared.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis Used:<\/jats:title>\n \n Unpaired\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test, repeated-measures ANOVA. A value of\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results and Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Both procedures turned out to be successful in reducing pain and improving mouth opening, both in a short-term and a long-term use. Upon comparison in our series of patients, arthrocentesis was noted to be a better treatment modality in the long term for the management of IDTMJ.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_291_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T03:40:37Z","timestamp":1681098037000},"page":"S80-S84","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A comparison of the outcomes following intra-articular steroid injection alone or arthrocentesis alone in the management of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Surya Udai","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajendra B.","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rohit","family":"Punga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul","family":"Datta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neeraj","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"134","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymeth.2008.09.001","article-title":"Emerging intra-articular drug delivery systems for the temporomandibular joint","volume":"47","author":"Mountziaris","year":"2009","journal-title":"Methods"},{"key":"R3-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"244","DOI":"10.1007\/s12663-013-0522-7","article-title":"Efficacy of temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis on mouth opening and pain in the treatment of internal derangement of TMJ-A clinical study","volume":"13","author":"Malik","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Maxillofac Oral Surg"},{"key":"R4-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"350","DOI":"10.1007\/s12663-010-0155-z","article-title":"Arthrocentesis for the treatment of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint","volume":"9","author":"Neeli","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Maxillofac Oral Surg"},{"key":"R5-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"302","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjoms.2010.03.008","article-title":"A review of techniques of lysis and lavage of the TMJ","volume":"49","author":"Tozoglu","year":"2011","journal-title":"Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R6-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.5507\/bp.2013.026","article-title":"Arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint: A review","volume":"159","author":"Tvrdy","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biomed Pap Med Fac Univ Palacky Olomouc Czech Repub"},{"key":"R7-13-20240908","first-page":"461","article-title":"Use and misuse of intra-articular corticosteroids in treatment of temporomandibular joint pain","volume":"70","author":"Toller","year":"1977","journal-title":"Proc R Soc Med"},{"key":"R8-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"321","DOI":"10.2334\/josnusd.53.321","article-title":"Temporomandibular joint injection with corticosteroid and local anesthetic for limited mouth opening","volume":"53","author":"Samiee","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Oral Sci"},{"key":"R11-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"184","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0714.2004.00247.x","article-title":"Severe temporomandibular dysfunction and joint destruction after intra-articular injection of triamcinolone","volume":"34","author":"Schindler","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Oral Pathol Med"},{"key":"R12-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1163","DOI":"10.1016\/0278-2391(91)90409-F","article-title":"Temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis: A simplified treatment for severe, limited mouth opening","volume":"49","author":"Nitzan","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R13-13-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e575","DOI":"10.4317\/medoral.17670","article-title":"Temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis.
