Abstract

Gostaria de agradecer também a outros docentes da FOUSP que impactaram especialmente minha formação como pesquisadora e docente. Prof a. Dr a. Maine Skelton, Prof a. Dr a. Maria Gabriela Haye Biazevic, Prof a. Dr a. Adriana Lira-Ortega, Prof a. Dr a. Márcia Martins Marques e Prof a. Dr a. Alyne Simões Gonçalves: cada uma de vocês cruzou o meu caminho em etapas distintas, me marcando de maneira significativa, me inspirando e fortalecendo para este momento... Este pequeno agradecimento é para dizer que que levo muito de vocês comigo! Agradeco muitíssimo aos funcionários da FOUSP, que me acolheram neste percurso de desenvolvimento científico e humano. Às secretárias Viviane e Edina, pelo apoio valioso e generosas risadas que aliviavam o peso nos bastidores, dia-adia... Aos técnicos Edilson, Ronaldo, Flávio e Laerte por, sempre gentis, facilitarem todo o possível para que os atendimentos fossem realizados com excelência.Ao LELO, minha segunda casa, e equipe maravilhosa (Prof a.

Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders

“…Zwiri et al ( 2020) said that patients with TMD suffer from continuous pain for a long time, even after conventional treatment. Jing et al (2021) and Dantas et al (2019) had promising results up to one month after treatment with d1 laser therapy (energy density ranging from 0 to 10 J/cm2), which also performed better than than the placebo and other laser groups. Dantas et al (2019) reported that all tested photobiomodulation therapy protocols were able to reduce pain on palpation in the superficial masseter muscle and TMJ of individuals with TMD.…”

Dantas et al (2019) reported that all tested photobiomodulation therapy protocols were able to reduce pain on palpation in the superficial masseter muscle and TMJ of individuals with TMD. Vallejo et al (2019) corroborate this in part, as after testing various low-intensity laser application protocols, they were unable to find scientific evidence that one of them was superior to the others, and all had good results.…”

“…In contrast, most available evidence suggests that laser PBM or LEDs, or combined treatment modalities, have effective effects in improving chronic TMD pain, functionality, and quality of life. 2021; ALVES, 2021;ZWIRI, 2020;TUNER, 2019;DANTAS, 2019;VALLEJO, 2019;BROCHADO, 2019;MAGUNIA, 2018;MAIA, 2012).…”
