Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be defined as a disorder of the intracapsular components of the joint, which is originated by displacement of the disc from its normal functional relationship with the condyle of the mandible and the temporal bones articular fossa. The most common symptoms of temporomandibular joint internal derangement vary from simple joint sounds to locking and pain. The aim of this case series is to evaluate the effects of Gow-Gates anaesthesia technique, which blocks the auriculotemporal nerve, in combination with an intracapsular local anaesthetic injection, on patient comfort during artrocenthesis. 24 patients had arthrocentesis due to temporomandibular disorder complaints. We suggest that further studies might give more information about the patient comfort during artrocenthesis. Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) the most common form of temporomandibular disorders. It affects patient’s daily life with pain, dysfunction, joint sounds, and even aural symptoms.
