Objective: The objective of this case report study was to use a relatively new chronic pain management method for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder by using intra-articular injections of platelet rich plasma (PRP) to patient with long standing problem.
Methods: Patient’s own blood drawn, mixed with anticoagulant, centrifuged twice for preparation of PRP, then 0.5ml of prepared PRP injected intra-articular in TMJ for both right and left side, three sessions of PRP injection done with spacing of 4 weeks in between and patient follow up done for 24 months after last session.
Results: The patient was completely symptoms free even after 24 months since last PRP injection session.
Conclusion: Intra articular injection of PRP seems to be a safe, effective and cheap pain management method for chronic pain resulting from TMJ disorder.
