Arm 2
Placebo Comparator
Active Comparator
arthroscopy
arthroscopy plus hyaluronic Acid
Temporomandibular joint arthroscopy is performed under general anesthesia by the same expert temporomandibular joint arthroscopy surgeon. Lysis and Lavage is performed in the upper joint space in all cases. Ringer's lactate is use as irrigation fluid. All participants receive Amoxicillin / Clavulanic Acid, 1g I.V. and Dexamethasone, 4 mg I.V. (Intraoperative); as well as Amoxicillin / clavulanic acid, 500/125 mg / 8h / 5 days by mouth; Diclofenac 100 mg / 12h / 5 days by mouth; and Metamizol 575 mg / 8h by mouth (Post-operatively). Soft diet and a home exercise program are implemented in all patients after 24 hours post-operative.
