Abstract

V originále

The authors deal with a mini-invasive therapy of the TMJ at chronic closed lock. They compare the efficiency of both arthrocentesis and visual arthroscopic lavage on pain reduction and mouth opening increase. The study evaluates 40 patients in total from the point of view of mouth opening extent and pain severity.
