Abstract

Arthrocentesis is a simple conservative surgical procedure with minimal invasion performed to flush the inflammed TMJ. This treatment modality has been well in practice since over two decades now. Recently, the concept of single puncture arthrocentesis has been introduced and is gaining wide popularity. We believe that the concept of single puncture has revolutionized the traditional technique of arthrocentesis. Here we demonstrate a modified dual needle device for single puncture arthrocentesis and our modifications of using a smaller gauge needle as well as change in angulation definitely have an added advantage over conventional single puncture technique.
