Sulaiman Y. Shalhoub, BDS, FDSRCS

College of Dentistry, King Saud University, P.O. Box 60169, Riyadh 11545, Saudi Arabia.

Eighteen cases of temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction were treated non-surgically in the College of Dentistry, Riyadh, with intra-articular injection of methyl prednisolone in a 3-year period. Sixteen of them were completely free of symptoms or had their symptoms improved. Proper selection of cases and excellent mastery of the technique of intra-articular injection are necessary to ensure success of this treatment modality.
