Autologous blood injection as a modality of the treatment of temporomandibular joints dislocation: A case report

Many specific surgical procedures have been identified for treating the dislocation of chronic recurrent temporomandibular joints (TMJs). This article addresses an autologous blood injection (ABI) procedure for the TMJ diagnosis of chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation. A 22-year-old patient reported with chronic TMJ dislocation for 3 months. Autologous blood was injected into upper joint space and surrounding pericapsular tissue under local anesthesia. The patient was followed up regularly. The treatment was successful and the patient had no more dislocation of TMJ as inferred from favorable improvement in mouth opening. Autologous blood infusion (ABI) within the articular capsule and/or pericapsular space or joint depression, is one of the most negligibly intrusive treatments methodology for repetitive separations of TMJ, was as of now presented.
