Pain and trismus are of the prime concerns for the patients in case of Anterior disc displacement ADD of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). In the recent times, PRP has has produced promising results in management of TMDs. It has potential healing properties on new bone and cartilage through the recruitment, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of cells and its tissue remodelling, matrix production, and chondrogenic differentiation properties. It also increases the production of hyaluronic acid by synoviocytes. Needle injury also produces immediate analgesia without hypesthesia, mainly on the painful spot making it effective for the pain reduction and improved mouth opening. Similar effect of dry needling can also be expected in the joint space where it may induce a transient inflammatory cascade leading to healing of the damaged tissue.
So, the Present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of PRP for the treatment of ADD of TMJ.
Study Design: Randomized clinical trial Study Duration: This study will be completed in 1 year 3 months (3 months for patient recruitment, 9 months for study including treatment and follow up and 3 months for data compilation).
Population: Patients suffering from Anterior Disc Displacement will be recruited in study from regular OPD of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology.
Sample size: Sample size consists of 39 patients in each group. Methods: PRP will be performed in test group while dry needling will be performed in control group.
