• Resumen

  • Viscosupplementation is a relatively new treatment concept for restoring the normal rheologic properties of the osteoarthritic joint. It is most often used for the knee. This case report describes results that were achieved using viscosupplementation following conservative therapy for a patient with osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint. Further study in the use of these treatments is recommended.
