Traditional Two-Needle Arthrocentesis
Participants in this group will undergo arthrocentesis using the traditional two-needle technique. The procedure involves the placement of one or two needles into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to irrigate the joint space. Needle placement is guided by anatomical landmarks.
Surgery-Guided Arthrocentesis
Participants in this group will receive arthrocentesis facilitated by a surgical guide. The guide is generated through pre-operative planning and is designed to aid in the accurate placement of the needle into the TMJ.
