Abstract | ||||
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of injectable PRF ( i-PRF) versus the autologous blood injection (ABI) in management of chronic recurrent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients were participated in this study. They were randomly assigned to equalsized groups (group I injected by autologous blood while group II injected by i-PRF). MRIs of the patients were taken preoperatively, one, and three month after the injection. Also, a verbal scale expressing TMJ pain on palpation, maximal mouth opening (MMO), and frequency of luxation were assessed at the same intervals. Results: The results revealed that each treatment appeared to be effective for patients with recurrent TMJ dislocation. Improvement was greater in i-PRF group than those with AB group. Conclusion: It could be concluded that, each treatment seems to be effective for patients with chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation. Additionally, i-PRF treatment may be highly effective to manage and improve function of chronic recurrent dislocated TMJ compared with ABI . | ||||
