At the TMJ & Dental Sleep Solutions of New Orleans, we understand that TMJ issues often arise from various sources of trauma, including habitual clenching and grinding or acute incidents like car accidents. Such trauma can lead to inflammation in the TMJ, resulting in restricted movement, intense pain, changes in bite, and joint deterioration. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Duane Delaune, our center specializes in regenerative treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), leveraging the body’s natural healing abilities to specifically target and alleviate TMJ discomfort.
At the TMJ & Dental Sleep Solutions of New Orleans we are proud to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections as part of our advanced treatment options for TMJ disorders. PRP therapy is a cutting-edge technique that uses a concentration of the patient’s own platelets to significantly enhance the body’s natural healing capabilities.
Harnessing Your Body’s Potential: PRP involves using your own platelets in a concentrated form to speed up and intensify the healing process. This method is particularly effective when combined with other therapies, such as oral appliance therapy, offering rapid relief and the potential for long-lasting recovery.
The Procedure: The PRP process starts with a simple and minimal blood draw, typically requiring only 1-3 tubes. This small-scale extraction generally prevents any significant discomfort or side effects like dizziness. The collected blood is then centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma, enriched with growth factors and healing properties, is then precisely injected into the affected TMJ area.
