Abstract :
Objectives:. Arthrocentesis is known as a highly effective procedure for the treatment of the closed lock and the elimination of intraarticular adhesions. The purpose of this study to evaluate and to compare the success of classical arthrocentesis method and arthrocentesis with posterior insertion and also manual way lavage and lavage with dental surgical motor clinically. Materials and Methods: This study included total of 104 patients who underwent arthrocentesis. As a sucess criteria maximum mouth opening (MMO) and pain evaluation with visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after the operation were determined. The results obtained by retrospective records of the patients and evaluated and interpreted statistically. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in MMO between manuel way lavage and lavage with dental surgical motor but in VAS scores decrease in motor group was higher (p 0.05). AA values showed no statistically significiant difference in posterior insertion method (p 0.005). Decrease in the VAS values of the posterior insertion group was higher than the classical method group but the difference was also not statistically significant. (p 0.05). Conclusions: Our study showed there is no significiant difference in various arthrocentesis methods for increasing the mouth opening. Decrease in VAS values was higher in the pressurewashing by dental surgical motor.
