Brief Summary

This study evaluates the addition of hyaluronic acid to temporomandibular joint arthroscopy in the treatment of internal derangements in adults. A participants group will receive temporomandibular joint arthroscopy plus hyaluronic acid, while the other group will receive temporomandibular joint arthroscopy. Hypothesis: hyaluronic acid as an adjunct in temporomandibular joint arthroscopic surgery provides additional benefits in clinical and radiological outcomes in temporomandibular joint internal derangements.

Lysis and Lavage is performed in the upper joint space in all cases. Ringer's lactate is use as irrigation fluid. All participants receive Amoxicillin / Clavulanic Acid, 1g I.V. and Dexamethasone, 4 mg I.V. (Intraoperative); as well as Amoxicillin / clavulanic acid, 500/125 mg / 8h / 5 days by mouth; Diclofenac 100 mg / 12h / 5 days by mouth; and Metamizol 575 mg / 8h by mouth (Post-operatively). Soft diet and a home exercise program are implemented in all patients after 24 hours post-operative.
