Abstract

Injection therapy can be used to treat the refractory and chronic pain situations that are not well responded to conventional therapy in TMD-patients. The target of injection is the intra-articular- and peri-articular tissue of joint and adjacent tissue like muscle. For the success of injectional therapy, selection of injection solution and technique is essential, so discussion will be done about that and one of the promising techniques of intra-articular injection, US-guided TMJ Intrar-articular injection, is also discussed.
