Brief Summary

A randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy of arthrocentesis with mandibular manipulation and anterior repositioning splint versus arthrocentesis and mandibular manipulation in the management of temporomandibular joint disc displacement without reduction

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To compare efficiency of arthrocentesis, mandibular manipulation and anterior repositioning splint therapy versus that of arthrocentesis and mandibular manipulation in Wilkes stage 3 temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) for management of pain after procedure by using VAS score.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES To compare the two procedures for the following:

• To assess the change in disc condyle angle and condyle disc position (MRI Evaluation) at 3 months follow up

• To measure mouth opening (passive and assisted) at 2 weeks ,1 month, 3 months and 6 months follow up.

• To access the subjective chewing efficacy 2 weeks, 1month, 3 months and 6 months follow up.

• To assess the clicking after 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months follow up.
