For adjunctive use of local anesthetic, providers can locate the joint space by first indentifying the root of the zygomatic arch and then redirecting the needle inferiorly to a depth of roughly 25 mm from the skin. Additionally, one can inject directly into the masseter and temporalis muscles. Procedural sedation may also be used, with an anecdotal preference for midazolam, fentanyl, and propofol.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Multiple reduction techniques are compared, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
