The short term effect of intra-articular injections of sodium hyaluronate was studied in a sample of 9 patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and dysfunction that was not responsive to previous conservative treatment. After 1 ml of sodium hyaluronate was injected into the superior joint compartment of the TMJ, the patient underwent manipulation and open mouth training. The effect on subjective symptoms and clinical signs was assessed. The treatment markedly reduced symptoms and clinical signs in 7 patients, but there was no significant improvement in 2 patients with a one-year history of TMJ dysfunction. From these results, it is suggested that sodium hyaluronate could be effectively used to treat patients in the early stage of TMJ pain and dysfunction.
