Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  GROUP 1 - ARTHROCENTESIS, MANDIBULAR MANIPULATION   STEP 1 Arthrocentesis (superior joint space) The surgical site will be disinfected with povidone iodine (betadine) and covered with sterile drapes. 2% lignocaine hydrochloride solution containing epinephrine (1: 2,00,000) will be used for blocking the auriculotemporal nerve. The same local anaesthetic agent will be also infiltrated into the joint cavity, skin surface and soft tissue over the joint. A reference line will be drawn from the 10mm from middle of the tragus to the outer canthus of the eye. The two points for needle insertion will be marked (as described by Nitzan). The posterior entrance point will be marked at a point 10mm from the middle of the tragus and 2mm below the canthotragal line. The anterior entrance point will be placed 10mm further forward along the line and 10mm below it. 18gauge needles will be inserted into the two points directed towards the superior joint space and lavage will be performed using 100ml ringer lactate solution through one needle ensuring a free flow of lavage through other needle. The mandible will then be manipulated gently to free the disc further. STEP 2. Mandibular Manipulation Mandibular manipulation will be done by placing both the thumbs directly onto the bilateral molars of the patient and pressed lightly downward or downward contralaterally. The patient will be instructed to open the mouth as wide as possible simultaneously and bring the mandible in protruded edge to edge bite position with mouth closed. An audible click along with maximum unassisted mouth opening or unassisted mouth opening with bilateral condylar translation without any sound will be considered as the clinical criteria of successful mandibular manipulation.  
Intervention  Group 2- Arthrocentesis, mandibular manipulation and ARS is done in a sequential combination then clinical and MRI evaluation to be done during follow up.   STEP 1 Arthrocentesis (superior joint space)67,68 The surgical site will be disinfected with povidone iodine (betadine) and covered with sterile drapes. 2% lignocaine hydrochloride solution containing epinephrine (1: 2,00,000) will be used for blocking the auriculotemporal nerve.

An audible click along with maximum unassisted mouth opening or unassisted mouth opening with bilateral condylar translation without any sound will be considered as the clinical criteria of successful mandibular manipulation. STEP 3. Immediate chairside Anterior repositioning splint (ARS) A maxillary full coverage acrylic ARS with occlusal indentation and anterior lingual guiding ramps will be immediately fabricated after mandibular manipulation with the mandible guided into the protrusive position.
