“…Naikmasur, et al (2008) and Suvinen and Reade (1989) have also shown 10.02 mm and 7.4 mm increase in MIO after splint therapy in MPDS patients. [19,20] Wong and Cheng (2003) achieved normal mouth opening (MIO ≥40 mm) in their patients by the end of treatment with combination of acupuncture+SS+point injection therapy. [21] Similarly, we achieved normal mouth opening (mean= 40.12 mm) at the end of the treatment follow-up in Group 2.…”

“…Turk et al [13] (1993) found that significant short-term effect on pain, comparing an intraoral appliance with biofeedback/stress management in TMD. Naikmasur et al [19] (2008) imply that the oclusal splint causes a slow and steady improvement in TMJ symptoms. Dao and Lavigne (1998) and Ekberg et al (2003) concluded that oral splints should be used as an adjunct for pain management rather than as a specific treatment modality.…”

SummaryObjectives: Myofascial pain is the most common temporomandibular disorder. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of combined treatment modalities in the management of myofascial temporomandibular pain. Methods:Fifty patients (44 female, 6 male) clinically and radiologically diagnosed with myofascial temporomandibular disorder (TMD) were selected for the study and randomly assigned to two groups of 25 patients. Group 1 patients were treated with stabilization splint (SS) and Group 2 patients were treated with trigger point injection combined with SS therapy.Results: Positive improvement in overall signs and symptoms with statistically significant differences was observed in both groups. Group 2 showed significant reduction in visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, and statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the VAS scores of Group 1 and Group 2 at the 4th and 12th weeks of treatment follow-up (p<0.001). Conclusion:Our results indicate that trigger point injection therapy combined with splint therapy is effective in the management of myofascial TMD pain. Further research, especially randomized controlled trials, should be carried out to ascertain its effectiveness over other treatment modalities.

“…1,2,4,20,24 Treatment of pain caused by masticatory muscle disorders with ABS has still been debated recently. Some studies even do not recommend its use because of many deficiencies [1][2][3]15,16 and was not as effective as a stabilization splint (SS). 7,25 Another risk of ABS is its small dimensions, which can lead to swallowing or aspiration.…”

“…15 The use of soft splint is more cost-effective than pharmacotherapy in long period of time. 16 However, the deficiencies of wearing the soft splint are always be very limited in time, 17 and need for close monitoring in their use. 18 Nowadays, there was a soft putty material as an addition (vinyl) silicone impression materials.…”

“…They are reversible therapies mentioned in previous reports as the initial treatment for TMD (Bani & Bergamini, 2001;Fikácková et al;Naikmasur et al, 2008), and are effective in reducing pain and muscular tension. The laser protocol used in the present study was chosen in view to its ability to penetrate the muscle tissue, reducing pain and increasing active range of motion and according to our alterations, also similar to control group.…”

Influence of Laser Therapy and Muscle Relaxant on the Masseter Muscle under Occlusal Wear: An Ultrastructural Study

et al. 2012

SUMMARY:The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of low-intensity laser therapy and muscle relaxant in the characteristic ultra structural masseter muscle occlusal wear. Animals and Methods: 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (GI), occlusal wear (G-II), laser occlusal wear (G-III), and the muscle relaxant occlusal wear (G-IV). Under general anesthesia given intraperitoneally, animals in groups II, III and IV had unilateral amputation of upper and lower molar cusps to simulate an occlusal wear situation. The masseter muscle G-III received laser therapy (830nm, 4J/cm2, 40mW, f ~ 2mm) and the procedure was subsequently repeated every other day for 14/30 days. G-IV animals were treated with daily injection of dantrolene ® (2.5 mg / kg in 0.5 ml of H 2 O). From 24 hours after the elimination peak. The animals were euthanized with an overdose of anesthesia on days 14 and 30 after the removal of the cusps and the ipsilateral masseter muscle was excised and divided in two, one half was routinely processed for light microscopy and other for electron microscopy. There was no statistical difference between each experimental group and the control and between periods in each experimental group. However, the muscle fibers in the G-II showed the most pronounced changes. There is no causal relationship between muscles fibers injuries and occlusion and, despite signs of muscular tissue injury were more evident in the occlusal wear group. Results indicates a moderate action of laser therapy and muscle relaxants in skeletal muscle.
