Aim of Study : To evaluate the efficacy of TMJ arhtrocentesis followed by injection of liquid platelet rich fibrin (I-PRF ) in addition to intramuscular injection of lateral pterygoid muscle with botulinum toxin on clinical outcomes of painful TMJ , maximum mouth opening , joint sounds and range of lateral movement in patients with TMJ anterior disc displacement with reduction Hypothesis : Intramuscular injection of lateral pterygoid muscle with botulinum toxin plus TMJ intra-articular injection of liquid platelet rich fibrin after arthrocentesis are more effective than TMJ arthrocentesis followed by intra-articular injection of ( I-PRF ) or TMJ arthrocentesis only .

Maximum Mouth Opening
Maximum mouth opening will be measured as the distance from incisal edges of the upper and lower central incisors using a ruler and will be evaluated preoperatively , immediately after the procedure , 1month , 3 months and 6 months postoperative .
Time frame: 6 months
Clicking
Joint sounds also will be evaluated during opening and closing of the jaws and during lateral movements preoperatively , immediately after the procedure , 1 months , 3 months and 6 months postoperative
Time frame: 6 months
Lateral movement
Range of lateral mandibular movement will be measured using Vernier caliper in millimeters as the horizontal distance extending from maxillary midline to mandibular midline by asking the patient to move the mandible to one side then to the other side to maximum extent
Time frame: 6 months
