Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are painful musculoskeletal conditions that involve the chewing muscles, temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and other anatomical structures of the mouth and face. Studies have confirmed the effectiveness of low-energy laser (LLLT) in reducing pain in patients with TMD disorders. However, results are conflicting and there is no consensus on the optimal treatment parameters.
High energy laser (HILT) is an effective treatment for patients with myogenic TMD disorders, reducing pain and improving jaw function.
High energy laser works analgesic i stimulates tissues, having greater range and depth of penetration than low energy laser. High-energy laser therapy (HILT) shows. positive results both in the short and long term. Patients with myogenic TMD have experienced pain relief, improving jaw function and quality of life after therapy.
The HILT high-energy laser is effective method physical therapy for patients with myogenic TMD and may be an alternative to other treatments, including low-level laser therapy (LLLT).
