Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a term that encompasses pain and dysfunction of masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and all associated tissues. The most common form of TMD is internal derangement. Patients normally undergo conservative treatments followed by a surgical procedure if necessary. Arthrocentesis is a minimal invasive and highly effective treatment that is frequently used to treat internal derangement. This technique aims to wash inflammatory cytokines, release intraarticular pressure, promote disc reposition and break adhesion of TMJ. It is a simple, feasible, inexpensive procedure and has less complications. The objective of this paper is to review current evidences of TMJ arthrocentesis including objectives, indications, techniques and procedures, complications, success rate as well as prognosis.
