Abstract
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) represent a frequent cause of chronic orofacial pain and functional limitation. In recent years, regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have emerged as promising minimally invasive approaches for intra-articular disorders of the temporomandibular joint. PRP is an autologous platelet concentrate rich in growth factors capable of modulating inflammation and stimulating tissue repair. The aim of this article is to describe the biological rationale, preparation protocol and clinical technique for PRP biosupplementation in the superior compartment of the temporomandibular joint.
