Effects of Superpulsed Low-level Laser Therapy on Temporomandibular Joint Pain

Abstract: Mandibular function improved in all SLLLT patients proving the effectiveness in the treatment of pain, as demonstrated by a significant improvement in clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disc displacement without reduction and osteoarthritis at the end of treatment and stability over a period of 1 month.

“…Such changes can cause pathogenic muscle and joint development indicative of TMD 4,10,11 . TMD is a term applied to functional abnormalities in the temporomandibular jointand associated structures 1,12,13 . The signs of this disorder are joint noises and limited range of motion or deviation during mandibular function, whereas the symptoms include pain in the pre-auricular region, temporomandibular jointand/or muscles of mastication 5,6,[14][15][16] .…”

“…10,11 A number of positive effects have been identified with the use of L-level laser therapy (LLLT) in different adverse health conditions due to its capacity to penetrate tissues, thereby influencing the synthesis, release and metabolism of signaling substances involved in analgesia. 12 Hotta, et al 13 found improvements in patients with TMD following the administration of LLLT, but other authors have not reported satisfactory results. 10,11 The studies cited were performed with different age groups and did not employ standardized protocols regarding the variables analyzed.…”

“…Seus efeitos terapêuticos envolvendo modulação do processo inflamatório (Ortiz et al, 2001;Fikácková et al, 2007;Carrasco et al, 2008;Emshoff et al, 2008;Shirani et al, 2009;Venezian et al, 2010;Salmos-Brito et al, 2013;Ahrari et al, 2014;Madani et al, 2014;Herpich et al, 2015) são devido às suas características de energia de baixa intensidade e comprimentos de onda capazes de penetrar nos tecidos e exercer uma influência na síntese, liberação e metabolismo de numerosas substâncias envolvidas na analgesia (Andrade e Frare, 2008;Marini et al, 2010).…”

“…A laserterapia (LLLT), dentre as modalidades mencionadas, tem sido bastante investigada para o tratamento das DTMs, devido sua natureza conservadora e efeitos analgésico, regenerativo e antiinflamatório no tecido alvo (Cetiner et al, 2006;Fikácková et al, 2007;Carrasco et al, 2008;Andrade e Frare, 2008;Emshoff et al, 2008;Shirani et al, 2009;Venezian et al, 2010;Marini et al, 2010;Gökçen-Röhlig et al, 2013;Salmos-Brito et al, 2013;de Moraes Maia et al, 2014;Ahrari et al, 2014;Madani et al, 2014;Herpich et al, 2015). O efeito terapêutico da LLLT na modulação do processo inflamatório, e consequente redução da dor, é atribuído às suas características de energia de baixa intensidade e comprimentos de onda capazes de penetrar nos tecidos e exercer uma influência na síntese, liberação e metabolismo de numerosas substâncias envolvidas na analgesia (Andrade e Frare, 2008;Marini et al, 2010).…”
