The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the superior jointcompartment irrigation on TMD patients with TMJ pain. Arthrocentesis was performed in 49 TMD patients with unilateral TMJ pain resistan to conservative treatment. These patients were assigned nonartificially to two arthrocentesis tecnique groups. The 1st group (26 patients) was injected with a steroid solution after irrigation, and the 2nd group (23 patients) was only irrigated. The improvement rate of TMJ pain and maximal mouth opening (MMO) during 3 months after (1 week and 1, 2, and 3 months) arthrocentesis was compared in the two groups. The results were follows:1) There was no significant difference between the improvement rate of the TMJ pain in the two groups at all times. The improvement rate was 76% in the 1st group and 71.5% in the 2nd group 3 months later.2) There was no significant difference between the MMO in the two groups at all times. The MMO was 39.4mm in 1st group (pre-MMO: 32.2mm) and 40.6mm in 2nd group (pre-MMO: 32.4mm) 3 months later.
