Purpose: To compare levels of bradykinin (BK), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and substance P (SP) between successful and unsuccessful cases of arthrocentesis of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs).Patients and Methods: A total of 66 joints in 66 patients with TMDs who underwent arthrocentesis were evaluated in this study. Synovial fluid diluted with saline solution was aspirated from the superior joint compartment before arthrocentesis and their concentrations of BK, LTB4, PGE2, and SP were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The differences in the detection rate and concentration of each mediator between successful cases and unsuccessful cases of arthrocentesis were analyzed statistically.Results: Arthrocentesis was successful for 77% (51/66) of the joints. The mean detection rate of LTB4 was significantly (P
