Arthrocentesis Treatment

Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pain, limitations, and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
At Velora Dental Clinic, arthrocentesis is a safe and effective method used to relieve compression in the temporomandibular joint disc, clear inflammatory fluids within the joint, and improve joint movement.

The temporomandibular joint is a complex structure that controls chewing, speech, and a significant portion of facial expression. Disorders occurring in this area can manifest as symptoms such as:

limited jaw movement,

pain,

clicking or grinding sounds coming from the joint,

difficulty chewing,

clogging or locking of the jaw.

Arthrocentesis is a particularly suitable solution for patients experiencing these symptoms and who have not responded adequately to conservative treatments.

How is Arthrocentesis Performed?

Because the treatment is performed under local anesthesia, it is a painless and comfortable procedure.

Two thin needles are inserted into the joint space.

The joint is irrigated with special solutions. Inflammatory substances, debris, and trapped tissue within the joint are removed.

The joint disc is provided with a more comfortable range of motion.

Lubricating or healing solutions can be applied to the joint if necessary.

This procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes, and a return to daily life is possible the same day.
Arthrocentesis offers the advantage of faster recovery and minimal risks because it does not require open surgery.

Advantages of Arthrocentesis
