Özet

Viscosupplementation, which has been referred to as intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid, is preferable in the treatment of patients with degenerative disease of the temporomandibular joint who have not responded to conservative therapy. The complications of intra-articular injections are reported as pain, swelling, heat, rash, itching, bruising, or redness. This article describes a patient who underwent arthrocentesis followed by viscosupplementation and subsequently experienced pain and malocclusion related to the applied agent.
