Özet

Objectives: Prolotherapy is a method that has gained popularity in recent years and has been reported to have positive short-teen and long-tenn clinical results in maxillofacial surgery, especially tempommandibular joint (TMJ) hypennobility. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the trabecular structure of mandibular condyles in patients who underwent prolotherapy due to TMJ hypennobility using the fractal analysis method.
