Effectiveness of ultrasound guidance in arthrocentesis with PRP for TMJ internal derangements: A randomized controlled trial
Puntos clave
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound guidance in arthrocentesis with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treating TMJ internal derangements.
Conducted as a randomized controlled trial
Participants underwent arthrocentesis with or without ultrasound guidance
PRP was used in both procedures to assess its impact
Clinical and radiological outcomes were measured at 3 months post-procedure
Patients receiving ultrasound guidance experienced faster early recovery
Both ultrasound and non-ultrasound methods had similar clinical outcomes at 3 months
Radiological outcomes did not significantly differ between the two methods
Resumen
US guidance enabled faster early recovery, but both methods showed comparable clinical and radiological outcomes at 3 months.
