The study described in this paper was conducted to assess the short-term outcomes of intra-articular administration of
hyaluronic acid in patients with symptoms of
temporomandibular joint disorders. A group of 40 patients suffering from
temporomandibular joint disorders underwent a series of
hyaluronic acid intra-articular injections. Questionnaires and clinical examinations were conducted to assess stress exposure of the subjects and to evaluate short-term treatment outcomes, i.e., reducing joint and
muscle pain and increasing the mobility of the mandible. A weak positive correlation between stress exposure and
pain was observed. As a result of treatment, 61% of subjects revealed a total reduction of
muscle pain, while
joint pain completely resolved in 88% of patients. Mandibular mobility increased by 11%, 31%, 9%, and 11% regarding opening, protrusive, and lateral right and left movements, respectively. The study confirms the short-term effectiveness of intra-articular administration of
hyaluronic acid on reducing joint and
muscle pain in patients with articular disc displacement. The treatment positively affected the mobility of the mandible in all directions. The verification of late treatment effects of
hyaluronic acid viscosupplementation requires the continuation of the research.
