Ozone-Flushed jaws: new procedure aims to ease TMJ pain
NCT ID NCT07666282
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using ozonated water to flush the jaw joint (arthrocentesis) works better than the standard Ringer's solution for people with a displaced jaw disc that snaps back into place. Thirty adults with TMJ pain and limited mouth opening were treated. The main goal was to see if ozonated water reduces pain more effectively and improves jaw function.
