Aim:
To understand the current status of arthrocentesis in India.
Materials And Methods:
A questionnaire was designed and validated by the authors. Questionnaires were circulated by e-mail to oral and maxillofacial practitioners in India. 363 questionnaires were sent out vie e-mail. 48.48% of those who responded claimed to practice arthrocentesis. The majority had been practicing arthrocentesis only for the last 1-3 years. 94.6% of them found arthrocentesis to be helpful in resolving symptoms of temporomandibular disorders.
Conclusion:
Arthrocentesis enjoys popularity among Indian surgeons. Most surgeons appear to be following the guidelines recommended by current literature in most cases and find it to be an effective procedure.
