Temporomandibularni poremećaj – mogućnosti liječenja minimalno invazivnim kirurškim metodama: artrocenteza i artroskopija

Temporomadibular disorder (TMD) encompasses a variety of clinical diagnosis with the symptom of orofacial pain caused by the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint and surrounding structures. Non-articular temporomandibular disorder (usually forms of myalgia) is treated conservatively, while the articular temporomandibular disorders often need surgical treatment. The most commonly used are minimally invasive treatment techniques. Arthrocentesis is ”blind” joint lavage. Arthroscopy is an endoscopic surgical method that allows treatment with minimal tissue damage, with very few complications, without postoperative scar because the arthroscope thickness is only 2 mm, it is a safe technique with good results.
