Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the comfort and anxiety levels of patients undergoing two different temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis techniques. METHODS Fifty female patients were randomly assigned into two groups of 25 based on the treatment modality: Group 1, single-puncture Type-1 arthrocentesis (SPA); Group 2, conventional double-puncture arthrocentesis (DPA). Preoperative and postoperative anxiety was scored with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-S (STAI-S) questionnaire. Blood pressure and heart rate were assessed preoperatively during the application of local anesthesia and at needle insertion into the joint cavity, the 5th and 10th minute of the procedure, and end of the procedure. RESULTS STAI-S scores were lower postoperative than preoperative in both groups. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were highest during anesthesia and needle insertion (p < 0.005). Changes in heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and STAI-S scores were statistically similar between the groups. CONCLUSION DPA and SPA were tolerated similarly by the patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The selection of appropriate outcomes in clinical trials and systematic reviews is a crucial factor in determining the results that are useful, reliable, and relevant for both patients and healthcare professionals. Clinicians and researchers have been encouraged to develop and apply core outcome sets (COS) to minimise the discrepancy between studies. AIM This systematic review is the first phase of the COS development project for clinical trials in temporomandibular disorders (COS-TMD). It aims to identify and synthesise the outcomes used in the randomised controlled trials (RCT) that evaluated the effectiveness of interventions used in TMD management. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was performed in several databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and EMBASE. The eligibility criteria comprised RCT that applied any intervention to treat temporomandibular joint disorders or masticatory muscle disorders. The identified outcomes were categorised according to domains of the Initiative on Methods, Measurement and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT). RESULTS The electronic search resulted in 1606 studies. After removing duplicates and applying the eligibility criteria, 106 RCT were included. A total of 43 studies evaluated masticatory muscle disorders, 27 evaluated temporomandibular joint disorders, and 36 analysed mixed TMD. CONCLUSIONS The evaluation showed significant variability in the types of outcomes and their measurement instruments. In addition, some domains such as physical and emotional functioning, participant ratings of global improvement and adverse events have been neglected when determining the effectiveness of treatments for TMD.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of two distinct single-puncture techniques in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis for managing disk displacement without reduction (DDwoR). Sixty patients with DDwoR were randomly and blindly assigned to two treatment groups (n = 30 each): group 1 - TMJ arthrocentesis with the classic concentric needle; and group 2 - TMJ arthrocentesis with the concentric needle-cannula system. The following variables were recorded and compared across the groups: patient's pain perception (visual analog scale - VAS, 0-10); maximal interincisal distance (MID, mm); facial edema (FE, presence or absence); and operation duration (OP, minutes). Patients in group 2 presented significantly lower values of VAS score and presence of FE (p < 0.05) when examining the data at 24 and 48 h after the arthrocentesis. They also showed an increase in MID values (p = 0.024) after 6 months. With regard to OP, no significant difference was observed between the groups. Performing a single-puncture TMJ arthrocentesis using a concentric needle-cannula system significantly reduced the patients' pain perception, and mitigated the presence of facial edema during the immediate postoperative period (at 24 and 48 h). Furthermore, it resulted in a notable increase in the MID after 6 months.

Abstract
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two different techniques of double puncture arthrocentesis with and without the addition of catheters and a vacuum pump for management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction (DDWOR). A total of 48 patients with DDWOR were randomly and blindly allocated into two treatment groups (N = 24): Group 1, TMJ arthrocentesis with the addition of catheters and a vacuum pump to the second needle; Group 2, TMJ arthrocentesis without any addition device. The following variables were registered and compared between groups: patient's pain perception (visual analogue scale [VAS; 0-10]); maximal interincisal distance [MID; mm]; joint effusion (JE, presence or absence); facial edema (FE; presence or absence); and the operation duration (OP; minutes). Patients in Group 1 presented with significantly lower VAS scores (p < 0.001) and presence of FE (p = 0.03) in the post-operative period, also an increase in MID values (p = 0.026), and a reduction in JE (p = 0.022) after 3 months. Besides that, in this group, the procedure was performed significantly faster (p < 0.001). Performing arthrocentesis with the addition of a vacuum pump makes the procedure faster and yields better results in terms of pain, facial swelling, mouth opening and joint effusion.

Single-Puncture Versus Double-Puncture Technique Arthrocentesis in the Treatment of Internal Derangement of TM Joint-A Comparative Clinical Study. J Maxillofac Oral Surg 2023; 22:1060-1065. [PMID: 38105816 PMCID: PMC10719202 DOI: 10.1007/s12663-023-01986-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Tempormandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders require early diagnosis with a prompt and effective treatment. Arthrocentesis has been found to be a valuable treatment aid for patients with early stage internal derangement of temporomandibular joints. The use of this procedure has been well documented in literature and had been performed for decades. Arthrocentesis under local anaesthesia can be performed in two different techniques i.e Single puncture and Double puncture techniques. Aims and Objectives Our study was done to show the effectiveness of each of these techniques in aiding the patient as well as time taken to perform this procedure. Our study compares the two techniques to allow us to draw a proper conclusion on which can be put to use for better and less traumatic treatment of these patients. Materials and Method For this study 50 patients with Internal Derangement, group A was 25 patients that were treated with Arthrocentesis of 200 ml RL using OnePrick TMJ Arthrocentesis System with Single Puncture technique and group B consisted of 25 patients who were treated with Arthrocentesis of 200 ml RL using Double Puncture technique. Result We found a significant increase in maximal mouth opening in patients undergoing arthrocentesis regardless of the technique. Comparison of mean duration of surgery performed among different groups were assessed using sample T test. Mean duration of technique A is around 17.18 minutes whereas for technique B is 20.90 minutes. The mean difference for two techniques performed is -3.722 with P value of 0.001. In technique A 24% of subjects needed additional lavage whereas in techniques B it is 20 %. On an average, total of 22 % of subjects needed additional lavage for better results. The resultant p value is around 0.733. Discussion The traditional double puncture technique involves the insertion of two needles into the upper joint space. Difficulties in accurate triangulation, positioning of the needle, and frequent intraoperative needle dislocations lead to longer operating times and are often encountered with the double puncture technique. On comparing the two arthrocentesis techniques in terms of easiness to operator a study done showed the group treated with single needle techniques found it easier than the double needle technique. The difference between groups was significant. The mean difference for two techniques performed was seen to be above three minutes in our study which was statistically significant. Conclusion Single needle technique is advantageous in the fact that it takes a shorter duration to perform, is less invasive and easier for the operator to complete successfully.

Bhargava D. Is Single Puncture Superior to Double Puncture Arthrocentesis in Patients With Wilkes III Internal Derangement? J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 81:1204-1214. [PMID: 37573887 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.07.140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive procedure with reported efficacy when used for lysis and lavage of the joint for symptomatic internal derangement, irrespective of the technique utilized. PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to determine if the single puncture arthrocentesis (SPA) is superior to double puncture arthrocentesis (DPA) with respect to pain reduction and improved maximal mouth opening (MMO) for subjects with acute disc displacement without reduction. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A single-blinded randomized prospective clinical trial was conducted at the tertiary referral center for temporomandibular joint disorders. All subjects were diagnosed with acute onset disc displacement without reduction based on history and magnetic resonance imaging findings. Subjects were randomized to SPA or DPA. PREDICTOR VARIABLE(S) The primary predictor variable was arthrocentesis technique (SPA vs DPA). MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE(S) The primary outcome variables were pain and MMO, measured at 4 weeks. The duration for the procedure was recorded at the time of the surgery. COVARIATES Age, sex, and the side affected were recorded. ANALYSES Data were analyzed using analysis of variance to compare the primary outcome variables. Levene's, post hoc, and Bonferroni-Holm tests were used for intergroup comparisons with a P value of <0.05 being significant. RESULTS Forty subjects completed the study. The mean age for the SPA and DPA groups was 28.3 (±3.9) and 29.1 (±4.1), respectively (P = .52). The sex distribution was 60 and 55% female in the SPA and DPA groups, respectively. The mean pain reduction in the SPA and DPA groups was from 8.30 (±0.86) to 0.90 (±0.78) and from 8.00 (±0.79) to 0.95 (±0.82), respectively (P < .0001). There was no difference in pain reduction between the groups (P = .05). The mean increase in MMO was 34.6 (±2.34) and 33.4 (±2.35) in the SPA and DPA groups, respectively (P < .0001). The difference between the groups was not significant (P = .12). The procedural time in the SPA and DPA groups was 14.15 ± 1.72 and 17.55 ± 1.66, respectively (P < .0001). CONCLUSION SPA and DPA arthrocentesis appear to be equally efficacious for pain reduction and increasing MMO. SPA can be completed in less time than DPA and should be considered as a viable alternative to the conventional DPA technique.

Abstract
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement is the most common temporomandibular disorders (TMD) condition. It causes clicking, pain, limited mandibular movements, and even masticatory difficulties in many people. The aim of this study is showcasing hotspots and frontiers in the field and providing a reference for the future research by a bibliometric analysis. Studies published from 1992 to 2022 were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection on 23 April 2023. A total of 1882 studies (1739 articles and 143 reviews) were included in the bibliometric analysis. From 1992 to 2022, the annual number of publications and citations greatly increased. The United States of America (USA) contributed the most publications about TMJ disc displacement. Shanghai Jiao Tong University was the most productive institution; meanwhile, Yang, C. from this institution was the most prolific author. The University of Washington was the most influential institution, and Brooks, S. was the most influential author. Diagnostic criteria and management of TMJ disc displacement, as well as TMJ disc displacement-associated conditions, might be a hotspot for current global research. We provided an objective and valuable reference for future research on TMJ disc displacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to report our experience and to review the literature of arthrocentesis focusing on protocols and results. METHODS Arthrocentesis with supplemental hyaluronic acid was performed in patients with TMDs between January 2017 and December 2020 at the Division of Maxillofacial Surgery. The maximum interincisal opening (MIO) and pain score were recorded preoperatively (T0), 2 months postoperatively (T1), and 6 months postoperatively (T2). A literature search was performed to analyze the same parameters in patients with TMDs. Patient demographic, characteristics and treatment protocols used were also recorded. RESULTS This retrospective analysis enrolled 45 patients. Twenty-two patients (20 females, 2 males) with mean age of 37.13 years with internal derangement were included in study group A. Study group B included 23 patients with degenerative joint disease (19 females and 4 males) with mean age of 55.73 years. The outcomes trend of MIO and pain during the follow-up period showed a gradual improvement. Fifty articles meeting the proposed scientific criteria were selected for the literature revision. A range of clinical and procedural variables were analyzed by grouping the studies into two broad categories based on the diagnosis of TMD. CONCLUSIONS Based on our experience and on the basis of the most accredited scientific studies in the literature, intra-articular injections of HA are beneficial for the improvement of the pain and/or functional symptoms of TMDs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of suprafoveal condylar arthroplasty (SFCA) in the management of patients with unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR). A retrospective study comprising patients who underwent unilateral SFCA for clinically and radiologically confirmed unilateral DDWoR from 2008 to 2020 was conducted. Patients older than 18 years at the time of diagnosis with a minimum of 6 months of unsuccessful non-surgical and minimally invasive management (including diet and life style modification, physiotherapy, appliance therapy, pharmacotherapy, arthrocentesis and arthroscopic lysis and lavage) before undergoing surgery with a minimum of 1 year follow-up post-surgery were included in the study. Patients with other articular and extra-articular causes of restricted mouth opening, prior history of mandibular surgery and/or trauma, growth abnormalities, systemic, metabolic, infective, neoplastic conditions affecting TMJ, including gross occlusal disharmony, untreated existing para-functional habits and bilateral DDWoR, were excluded from the study. Patients were assessed in terms pain on a visual analog scale (VAS), interincisal mouth opening (MO) and subjective assessment of mandibular range of movements including deviation of mouth opening, protrusion and ability for contralateral laterotrusion. 23 patients (10 males and 13 female) were included in the study, with a mean age of 35.09 years and mean follow up period of 37.7 months (range = 12-58; SD = 15.3). The mean pain scores on the VAS reduced from 6.35 preoperatively to 1.13 postoperatively and were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The improvement of the mean pre-operative mouth opening of 21.83 mm to a mean post-operative mouth opening of 42.09 mm was also found to be statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The subjective improvement in protrusive (p = 0.0003), laterotrusive (p = 0.0005) and opening movements (p = 0.0001) after 1 year were also found to be statistically significant. No patient developed any significant changes in occlusion post-operatively. Four of 23 (17.3%) patients developed transient neuromotor deficit of the temporal branch of the facial nerve. Within the limitations of the study, it seems that SFCA (without addressing the disc) might be an alternative to less invasive treatment approaches, if the latter turned out not to be successful.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the most effective lavage volume of arthrocentesis in the management of temporomandibular disorders. A comprehensive electronic search, based on the PRISMA guidelines, was performed, which included a computer search with specific keywords, a reference list search and a manual search. The inclusion criteria were the following: a randomized controlled trial, at least 20 subjects who underwent arthrocentesis, mention of the irrigation materials used for the arthrocentesis, mention of the irrigation volumes used for the arthrocentesis, MMO and pain measured as VAS or NRS, were reported as outcome figures, mention of a specific diagnosis or signs and symptoms, and inclusion of the data on the MMO or VAS/NRS at 6-month follow-up. Sixteen publications were enrolled in the meta-analysis, comparing arthrocentesis with a lavage volume <150 mL and arthrocentesis with a lavage volume ≥150 mL, in the efficacy of the improvement in the mouth opening and pain reduction. The results revealed the group with a lavage volume <150 mL had a greater improvement in the mouth opening and pain reduction. However, results are to be interpreted with caution, due to the paucity of the randomized controlled literature and other confounding factors. Further high-quality studies are required to provide a better conclusion to the treatment outcomes of the different lavage volumes.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to assess the long-term oral health-related quality of life (oQoL) in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement (ID) after TMJ arthrocentesis plus hyaluronic acid (HA). Patients were analysed at different follow-up times using an analytical observational design. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) score was evaluated according to age, sex, disc position, presence of degenerative joint disease (DJD), joint pain, maximum mouth opening and follow-up time. A total of 60 participants were enrolled, 88% female, with a mean age of 38 years (SD = 13.48). In an average follow-up of 25.02 months (SD = 5.32), the OHIP-14 total score decreased 8.67 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -11.21 to -6.11) after the intervention (Cohen's d = 1.22; 95% CI = 0.81 to 1.64). All OHIP-14 domain scores decreased (p < 0.05) except for the Functional limitation domain (p = 0.378). The oQoL after the intervention worsened in female patients (p = 0.039) and with a higher level of pain at baseline (p = 0.002). Self-perceived QoL improvement should be considered stable long term after temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis plus HA, regardless of concurrence with DJD or ID subtype. QoL should be used as clinical assessment measure of ID patients, with special attention to those with higher levels of pain.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2021; 49:1158-1161. [PMID: 34489156 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2021.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The study at checking if treatment outcomes in double puncture temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis (DPTMJA) changed when the puncture points of the second cannula punctate were changed. Using a retrospective cohort study design, the investigators enrolled a sample of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD, internal derangement) patients receiving DPTMJA. The decision of whether to perform a modified or traditional arthrocentesis was made by the patients: Patients who accepted the close cannula relationship were evaluated as group 1 (modification group), and those who did not agree as group 2 (traditional group). The predictor variable was puncture points of the second cannula (close to vs. far from the first cannula; group 1 and 2, respectively). The main outcome variables included maximum mouth opening (MMO), and pain assessed using a Likert-type (0-10) visual analogue scale (VAS) before treatment and at 1st day and 3rd months intervals. Appropriate statistics were computed using P < .05 was considered significant. The study sample comprised 32 patients (93.8% females; 50% in each study arm) with an average age of 36.9 ± 15.3 years (range, 18-78). Although, patient age and gender, and baseline VAS in both groups were not significant different (P > .05), the baseline MMO in group 2 was significant higher than that in group 1 (P = .03). The within-group analyses demonstrated the significant improvement of both MMO and VAS at postoperative month 3 (P < .05). However, the between-group analyses rejected the significant differences between the 2 groups at day 1 and month 3 (P > .05). Within the limitations of the study the choice of one or the other technique should be left to the discretion of the surgeon.

Comparison of outcomes with the single-puncture and double-puncture techniques of arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis. J Oral Rehabil 2021; 48:1056-1065.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare intra-operative and postoperative outcomes between the single-puncture and the standard double-puncture techniques of arthrocentesis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect and CENTRAL databases were searched from inception up to 31st August 2020. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), prospective and retrospective studies conducted on patients with temporomandibular joint disorders comparing any type of single-puncture arthrocentesis with standard double-puncture arthrocentesis and reporting intra-operative/postoperative outcomes were included. Assessment of the risk of bias was done with the Cochrane Collaboration risk assessment tool. RESULTS Thirteen studies were included (12 were RCTs). Analysis of a limited number of studies indicated no difference in pain or maximal mouth opening (MMO) between the single-puncture type-1 or type-2 and the double-puncture technique at various follow-up intervals. Pooled analysis (four studies) demonstrated that the single-puncture type-2 technique requires significantly less operating time as compared to the double-puncture method. No such difference was noted between single-puncture type-1 and double-puncture techniques. Analysis of two studies indicated significantly reduced intra-operative needle relocations with the single-puncture techniques. Studies were not of high quality with concerns of bias in randomisation, allocation concealment and blinding. CONCLUSIONS Limited data indicate no difference in pain or MMO with single- or double-puncture techniques of arthrocentesis. Amongst the three techniques, the single-puncture type-2 technique has the advantages of significantly lower operating time and reduced intra-operative needle relocations and it may be the preferred method of TMJ arthrocentesis in clinical practice.

Abstract
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of orofacial pain conditions which are the most common non-dental pain complaint in the maxillofacial region. Due to the complexity of the etiology, the diagnosis and management of TMD remain a challenge where consensus is still lacking in many aspects. While clinical examination is considered the most important process in the diagnosis of TMD, imaging may serve as a valuable adjunct in selected cases. Depending on the type of TMD, many treatment modalities have been proposed, ranging from conservative options to open surgical procedures. In this review, the authors discuss the present thinking in the etiology and classification of TMD, followed by the diagnostic approach and the current trend and controversies in management.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to assess the outcomes of monoportal arthroscopic disc repositioning (discopexy) for disc displacement of the temporomandibular joint. A retrospective, single-institutional clinical study included patients with temporomandibular joint internal derangements diagnosed and treated by monoportal discopexy. Each patient was diagnosed as having anterior disk displacement with or without reduction. The arthroscopy treatment consists of one portal approach fixing the disc with a 3/0 nylon to the tragus cartilage without anterior liberation. Arthroscopy surgery was carried out with a 1.9-mm 0° arthroscope and only one simple cannula. We use a needle to pierce of the disc through the skin and retrieve the suture inside the joint using a blind method through the arthroscopic cannula. The evaluated variables included the maximum interincisal opening, the presence of clicking and pain score. A total of 19 patients, 21 joints, were included in the present study. Of the 21 joints, 16 were classified as disc displacement with reduction and 5 without. Visual analogue scale (VAS) values (0-10) decreased from 5.5 to 1.26 (p < 0.0001) 1 year after surgery. At the first review, all patients had a VAS of at least 4 points less than before the surgery, four patients showed a VAS of 0, and nine patients near to 1. Mouth opening increased from 36.6 (±8.09) mm to 39.37 (±4.35) mm, and no significant limitations in the mouth opening range were seen (p < 0.12) 1 year after surgery. Clicking disappeared in all patients and remained stable after 12 months of follow-up. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a correct or improved position of the disc in all but one patient. A minimally invasive single portal arthroscopic discopexy is an effective technique to improve function and pain reduction in patients with anterior disk displacement with or without reduction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Arthrocentesis is the simplest surgical intervention for the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It can be performed on an outpatient basis at a low cost and with low morbidity. The objective is to release the articular disc by disrupting the adhesion formed between its surfaces and the mandibular fossa through hydraulic pressure generated by irrigation of the upper compartment of the TMJ. Viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid during or after arthrocentesis improves clinical outcomes, increases mouth opening, and reduces pain levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of arthrocentesis plus hyaluronic acid viscosupplementation through clinical examination and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in patients with unilateral disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR). METHODS This analytical retrospective cross-sectional study clinically and radiologically evaluated 72 patients of both sexes with unilateral DDwoR. The following data were collected: sex, pain, age, duration of pain, maximum mouth opening, and patient pain perception on a visual analog scale. TMJ arthrocentesis was performed only once for each of the indicated joints. Data were collected before arthrocentesis (baseline) and at 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, and 180 days after the procedure (final evaluation). RESULTS Between the baseline and final evaluation, there was a significant reduction in pain (p=0.001) and restoration of articular function. In addition, there was a significant increase in maximum mouth opening (p=0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with DDwoR undergoing arthrocentesis combined with hyaluronic acid injection showed significant improvement in the perceived pain and maximum mouth opening in the mid-term follow-up periods.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the technical success of conventional TMJ arthrocentesis in cadavers, using the tragal-lateral canthus line as an anatomical reference for the puncture points. METHODS Ten formalin-treated and 8 fresh cadavers were submitted to the arthrocentesis. A point located 10 mm anteriorly and 2 mm inferiorly to the beginning of the tragal-lateral canthus line (A) and another point 20 mm anteriorly and 10 mm inferiorly (B) were demarked on the cadavers' skin. Following, 1 mL of methylene blue solution was injected through the needle at point A, and then another needle was placed at point B. Saline solution was injected through the first needle, identifying a free flow of bluish solution. RESULTS Concerning the formalin-treated cadavers, TMJ arthrocentesis was not successfully performed in any case (0%). In the fresh cadavers, the procedure was properly conducted bilaterally in only one case (12.5%) and unilaterally in 3 cases (37.5%), 2 on the left side (25.0%) and one on the right (12.5%). CONCLUSION The traditional points related to the tragal-lateral canthus line seemed not to be accurate references for the insertion of the needles in conventional TMJ arthrocentesis when 1 mL of solution is used initially and the maximum mouth opening is not achieved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare clinical and imaging results of two needles arthrocentesis (TNA) versus double-needle cannula arthrocentesis (DNCA) in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disc displacement (DD). METHODS Twenty patients with DD were randomly divided into two groups: TNA and DNCA. Clinical data (pain scores; maximal interincisal distance [MID], and protrusion and laterality movements) were evaluated before and 24 months after the arthrocentesis. Disc and condyle position and joint effusion (JE) were evaluated by magnetic resonance exams. RESULTS Both groups presented improvement in the MID, including pain reduction, modifications in disc and condyle positions, and reduction of the presence of JE, without difference between groups (p > 0.05). The DNCA was performed significantly faster (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSION Both TNA and DNCA are efficient in promoting improvement in the MID: reduction in pain, modifications in disc and condyle positions, and, in part, may account for less JE, without difference between techniques.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis is considered an effective and minimally invasive procedure for certain conditions related to temporomandibular disorders. The ideal irrigation volume for arthrocentesis lavage has not yet been defined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different saline solution volumes in removing methylene blue from the TMJ space of fresh human cadavers. Nineteen cadavers were selected and 1ml of 10μM methylene blue solution was injected into the upper joint space unilaterally. Conventional arthrocentesis was then conducted by infusion of 300ml of 0.9% saline solution, collecting a 1-ml sample from the drained quantity for every 25ml injected. Finally, the samples were assayed by measuring photo absorbance of the methylene blue solution. There was a statistically significant difference between the irrigation volumes regarding the removal of methylene blue solution from the joint space (P<0.001), specifically between the first 25 ml and 200 ml (P=0.014), 225 ml (P=0.001), 250 ml (P<0.001), and 275 ml (P=0.001). Based on this ex vivo study, a 25-ml perfusion volume appears to be sufficient for joint lavage in conventional arthrocentesis of the TMJ.

Abstract
PURPOSE Arthrocentesis is a common treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders. Although modifications of the standard double-puncture technique have been described, no consensus has been reached regarding which is the best. The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes of the single- and double-puncture arthrocentesis techniques (SPT and DPT, respectively). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review following the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses) guidelines was performed. Two independent reviewers conducted electronic searches in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases for relevant studies reported up to January 2019. Studies comparing type I SPT (only 1 cannula) or type II SPT (2 soldered cannulas) to conventional DPT were considered. Data regarding the maximal mouth opening (MMO), joint pain, and operative time were extracted for the meta-analysis. In the case of statistically significant heterogeneity (P < .10), a random effects model was used to assess the significance of the treatment effects. Otherwise, a fixed effects model was used. The included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were assessed for methodologic quality using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. RESULTS Nine studies were included for qualitative synthesis. Two were suitable for quantitative synthesis per outcome. The meta-analysis did not find any differences between SPT and DPT in relation to the MMO. However, in relation to joint pain, the results slightly favored the use of DPT. No differences in operative time were found between type I SPT and DPT (P = .49). CONCLUSIONS The present study found no differences between the SPT and DPT in relation to the MMO, and no difference was found in operative time between the DPT and type I SPT. Because of the heterogeneity between studies, it might be interesting to conduct more homogeneous RCTs to elucidate which technique results in better clinical outcomes.
