Evaluation of the ultrasonography-guidance for botulinum toxin type a injection into lateral pterygoid muscle in patients with TMJ anterior disc displacement with reduction

Key Points

• Ultrasonography-guided injections improve targeting of the lateral pterygoid muscle, enhancing treatment precision.
• Botulinum toxin type A injection is evaluated for its effect on TMJ anterior disc displacement with reduction.
• Assessment involved an observational analysis focusing on clinical outcomes and pain reduction following treatment.
• Ultrasound guidance may lead to more effective pain management, indicating potential benefits in clinical practice.
