In arthrocentesis, special solutions are introduced into the jaw joint to rinse and relieve the joint space. This helps reduce inflammation in the joint and makes jaw movements more comfortable.
In Which Cases Is It Applied?
First we assess your jaw joint in detail. After the necessary imaging, special fluids are introduced into the joint under local anaesthesia and the joint space is rinsed. The procedure is completed quickly.
