Two different meta-analysis (1,2) identify that between 31% to 44% of adult population experience some form of temporomandibular disorders. Other studies (3) reflect that more than half of patients experiencing these disorders might experience pain, having a much higher prevalence in women.
Minimally invasive treatment with intra-articular injections of PRGF-Endoret is predictable and efficient reducing pain and improving mobility of temporomandibular joint.(4)
These benefits are easily perceived by the patient only a few weeks after the treatment, reaching its maximum 3 months later.

Endoret® (PRGF®) is the first and most documented autologous platelet-rich plasma described in the literature worldwide.
It is important to remember that not all platelet-rich plasmas are Endoret® (PRGF®). Unlike other products, Endoret does not include leukocytes in its composition, which gives it more effective anti-inflammatory properties, reducing significantly the postoperative pain and facilitating a faster recovery with predictability and more patient comfort.
