Abstract
Introduction: Chronic recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocation is a challenging condition that may be difficult to manage appropriately with conservative treatments alone. Autologous blood injection (ABI) and intermaxillary fixation (IMF) appear to be minimally invasive means of stabilizing the joint and decreasing the number of dislocation episodes.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of autologous blood injection with intermaxillary fixation in the treatment of chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation.
Materials and Method: A prospective interventional study was conducted on 30 chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation patients. ABI was delivered into the TMJ, and IMF was applied for 2 weeks. The outcome was following up with 1 and 3-month follow-up evaluations of dislocation frequency, mouth opening, and patient-reported symptoms.
Results: Only 20% of patients suffered dislocation at 3 months. Significant reductions in maximum interincisal opening and joint discomfort were found.
Conclusion: Chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation is an effective, safe, and minimally invasive treatment when completed by ABI combined with IMF.
