“…However, these biological agents have various side effects that limit the clinical use (18). From this aspect, LLLT can be considered as an alternative noninvasive treatment with its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects (12,13,(18)(19)(20)(21) This study included patients with pain or moderate disability and discomfort during daily activities on baseline examination, associated with AS. Our results did not show any statistically significant improvement between the groups.…”

“…Some authors suggested that LLLT can reduce inflammation through inhibition of PGE 2 formation and suppression of cyclooxygenase 2 in human gingival fibroblasts. 8 Carvalho et al 9 reported that infrared laser therapy reduced inflammatory infiltration and accelerated the inflammation process in the rat TMJ injected by carrageen. Lin et al 10,11 reported that HeNe laser (632.8 nm) improved histopathological changes and enhanced the repair and biosynthesis of arthritic cartilage in rats.…”

“…The therapeutic effects of LLLT include the modulation of inflammatory processes, analgesia and cellular activity [1-3,6,7,11-13,19-25]. Despite the reported benefits [1-3,6,11,20-22], few studies have analyzed the effects of LLLT administered to adolescents with a diagnosis of TMD [1-3,6,7,11-13,20-25]. …”

BackgroundA number of problems involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures can lead to temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The aim of the proposed study is to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy on occlusal contacts, mandibular movements, electromyography activity in the muscles of mastication and pain in adolescents with TMD.Methods/DesignA randomized, controlled, double-blind, clinical trial will be carried out involving 85 male and female adolescents between 15 and 18 years of age. The research diagnostic criteria for TMD will be used to assess all individuals who agree to participate. All participants will be submitted to a clinical examination and electromyographic analysis of the masseter muscles and anterior bundle of the temporal muscles bilaterally, to determine TMD. Based on the clinical findings, the participants will be classified as having or not having TMD. Those with TMD will be divided into four groups, three of which will receive low-level laser therapy and one of which will receive a placebo treatment. The treatments will involve the TMJ region alone, the masseter and temporal muscles alone, or both these regions together. The data will be submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. The chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test will be used to determine associations among the categorical variables. The Student’s t test and analysis of variance will be used for the comparison of mean electromyographic signals. Pearson’s correlation coefficients will be calculated for the analysis of correlations among the continuous variables.Trial registrationThe protocol for this study has been submitted to Clinical Trials – registration number (NCT01846000).

Evaluation of Laser Phototherapy in the Inflammatory Process of the Rat's TMJ Induced by Carrageenan

Abstract: It was concluded that the LPT presented positive effects on inflammatory infiltration reduction and accelerated the inflammation process, mainly with IR laser irradiation. The number of synovial cell layers was reduced on irradiated group.
