Key Points

  • This analysis seeks to understand the changing landscape of research on temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis over time.
  • Comprehensive bibliometric analysis of TMJ arthrocentesis literature from 1989 to 2025.
  • Assessment of research trends regarding surgical approaches and technological developments.
  • Exploration of the evolving treatment models focusing on patient selection and imaging.
  • A shift from purely mechanical success to a more holistic treatment approach.
  • Increased emphasis on imaging guidance in TMJ arthrocentesis.
  • Identification of biological regeneration as a key component in modern patient care.

Abstract

The TMJ arthrocentesis literature is undergoing a dynamic transformation characterized by surgical minimization and technological integration. Research trends corroborate that the concept of "mechanical success" has yielded to a holistic treatment model constituted by accurate patient selection (Axis II), imaging guidance, and biological regeneration.
