Establishment of a selective puncture method of the temporomandibular joint targeting the superior and inferior joint spaces using a human cadaver under the guidance of an ultrasound device.

Our findings suggest that the ultrasound device can selectively puncture the TMJ in the SJS and IJS. In the future, the success rate is expected to improve with additional cadaver punctures. We aim to establish this technique as a viable treatment method that can be performed by oral surgeons with limited clinical experience in cadaver surgery training and a surgical technique training program using human cadavers.
