Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Arthrocentesis followed by i-PRF injection   Arthrocentesis is performed with the standard double needle puncture technique with 150-200ml of Ringers lactate. After the arthrocentesis process is completed, the second needle will be removed with the first needle in place. i-PRF is injected through the first needle immediately after the arthrocentesis 
Comparator Agent  ARthrocentesis of temporomandibular joint   Technique: Standard double puncture arthrocentesis Holmlund –Hellsing line (i.e canthotragus line) is taken as the landmark for the puncture sites. 2 guiding points are marked with reference to Holmlund –Hellsing line over the skin. The first point is 10 mm ahead of tragus and 2 mm below Holmlund –Hellsing line. The second point is 20 mm ahead and 10 mm inferiorly in the same line (indicates site of TMJ eminence). The Auriculotemporal nerve block is given, and 18-gauge needle is inserted from 1st point followed by injection of 2mL Ringers Lactate solution into the joint space. The second needle also of 18 gauge is inserted from the second guide point. The pressurized washing is done with 5% ringer lactate solution and volume of 150-200ml injecting from first needle and exit from the second needle  
Intervention  i-PRF injection  PREPARATION OF i-PRF Blood for the preparation is withdrawn from the medial cubital /cephalic vein under aseptic condition. Patient is seated erect with back supported with the supported forearm in supine position. The site is inspected to identify the suitable vein. The tourniquet is applied and the patient is made to make the fist. After identifying the suitable vein, the part was cleansed with the antiseptic solution. 10 ml needle was carefully inserted in the identified vein with bevel facing upward and when blood appears in the needle hub the needle is slightly pushed inside by about 1-4 mm and the blood was withdrawn. Thus, collected blood was transferred into the sterile glass tubes without anticoagulant. The tube was immediately centrifuged at 700rpm for 3 minutes with the help of PRF centrifuge machine . After centrifugation, two layers were identified the bottom layer of red blood cells and the top layer of i-PRF . The upper layer was collected with a 3 ml needle. block is performed with local anesthesia . The articular fossa is located at a point 10 mm anterior and 2 mm below the canthotragus line. . 2 mL i-PRF injected in the articular cavity and 1mL in the pericapsular tissue with 24gauge needle.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
evaluate and compare three different methods of management i.e., arthrocentesis, i-PRF injection, and a combination of the two in unilateral temporomandibular disorder in terms of TMJ pain relief, based on VAS scale evaluated after the 3rd month post intervention.  10 th day ,1 month and 3 months  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
• To assess the change in maximum inter-incisal mouth opening
• To assess the change in lateral and protrusive movement
To evaluate the effect on the clicking of the joint
• To evaluate the effect in the deviation and deflection of mandible
• To evaluate the effect on the muscles of mastication
• To assess the impact of internal derangements on the quality of the life using oral health impact questionnaire
• To assess the severity of the temporomandibular disorder using the Fonseca questionnaire
• To assess the psychological aspect of the patient based on the perceived stress scale questionnaire
• To evaluate the disc changes following the intervention through the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based on the following variables in MRI findings:

Brief Summary  

Temporomandibular disorders appear to be common problem and have major impact in the quality of the life. Various management modalities such as splints, physiotherapy, arthrocentesis, intra-articular injections of agents like HA, PRP and i-PRF have been used for the relief of the symptoms primarily pain and reduced mouth opening. Arthrocentesis is minimal invasive procedure that can be performed without significant complications. The significant positive clinical outcomes, cost effectiveness and the minimal use of the armamentarium has increased its application in management of TMD. The development of the i-PRF and the studies related to i-PRF in the patients with TMD showed significant positive effects in reduction of the symptoms.  i-PRF can be easily prepared and is obtained from the patient’s own blood with no significant intra-operative and post intervention complication such as allergic reactions due to the blood concentrate used. Hence, it seems logical to use i-PRF individually or arthrocentesis combined with i-PRF. Hence, the study is being conducted to compare the three different modalities of management in the patients with temporomandibular disorder.
