In dentistry, it most commonly refers to arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the jaw joint in front of the ear. The joint is gently washed (lavaged) with sterile fluid to reduce inflammation and improve movement. It is typically considered when jaw pain or limited opening persists despite conservative care."}
