Abstract
|
|
|
|
Osteoarthritis (OA) is common disease that can lead to severe pain and dysfunction in any joint, including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The treatment strategy for TMJ OA aims at reducing pain, preventing the progression of condylar bone destruction, and restoring joint function. Conservative therapy including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, occlusal splint, and physical therapy, and arthrocentesis are the most common treatments for TMJ OA. These therapies are effective in most cases in relieving the signs and symptoms.
