Abstract
Objective: This study systematically reviewed the effect of intra-articular injection (IAI) of platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), alone or combined with arthrocentesis or arthroscopy, in managing painful articular temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and improving maximum mouth opening (MMO).
Materials and methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in five databases, identifying randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials focusing on minimally invasive TMJ interventions using i-PRF. Meta-analyses were performed with a random-effects model for studies reporting similar outcomes, visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain, and MMO values.
Results: Out of 332 studies identified, 13 met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. Within-group comparisons revealed significant pain reduction at 3-6 and 8-12 months for i-PRF alone or combined with arthrocentesis or arthroscopy. MMO values significantly increased using i-PRF alone at 8-12 months, combined with arthrocentesis or arthroscopy at 3-6 and 8-12 months, with no significant increase using i-PRF alone at 3-6 months. Between-group analyses demonstrated that i-PRF combined with arthrocentesis significantly reduced VAS scores and increased MMO values compared to arthrocentesis alone at 3-6 and 8-12 months.
Conclusion: Using i-PRF alone or combined with arthrocentesis or arthroscopy is effective in pain reduction and MMO increase.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
