Summary

This study tested a new way to flush the jaw joint (TMJ) using a dental implant motor pump, compared to the usual method, in 30 people with TMJ disorder. The goal was to see if the new pump reduces pain and improves mouth opening better. Results will help determine if this technique is a good alternative for easing TMJ symptoms.
