|
To assess the frequency of TMJ Arthrocentesis among patients of different age groups and genders by an institution based retrospective study. A retrospective cross-sectional cohort study was conducted using the patient records from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from June 2019-March 2020, and details of the patients were collected by Non-probability sampling. Among a sample size of 87 patients who had reported for TMJ pain and disorders, 20 patients had undergone TMJ Arthrocentesis as treatment and were included in the study. The data collected was analysed for gender, age, difference in mouth opening. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS Version 20. Chi square statistical test for significance was used. 60% patients subjected to TMJ Arthrocentesis were females (12 patients) and they were predominantly of the age group below 35 years of age (50% - 10 patients). It was also noticed that patients less than 35 years of age had an immediate improvement in mouth opening less than 5mm, and only 26.67% of the female patients had a mouth opening greater than 5mm. The prevalence of TMJ Arthrocentesis was predominant among female patients under the age of 35 years.
