What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of high molecular weight versus low molecular weight hyaluronic acid injections in patients aged 17 to 70 with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders who have not improved with conservative treatments. Participants will be divided into two groups, receiving different types of hyaluronic acid after undergoing arthrocentesis. The study will measure pain levels, mouth opening range, and the presence of joint noise to determine which treatment is more effective in alleviating symptoms.
