The observed data indicate that there was a significant decrease in the temperature during the cooling phase, whereas in the recovery phase, the inverse was found.

<div><strong>Introdução</strong>: A Fascite Plantar é uma inflamação da fáscia plantar causada por micro traumas na região. Não há estudos que descrevam os efeitos da bandagem funcional <em>therapy taping</em> sob a ótica da termografia clínica funcional por imagem infravermelha. <strong>Objetivo: </strong>Relatar um Caso em que se utilizou a termografia, para verificar se a <em>Therapy Taping</em> reduz a dor do paciente com fascite plantar. <strong>Relato de Caso</strong>: Paciente J.C.G.D., sexo masculino, 64 anos, com diagnóstico de fascite plantar unilateral e esporão de calcâneo ao raio X do pé esquerdo. Quantificou-se a dor referida, através da Termografia pré e pós tratamento fisioterapêutico. O exame foi feito em ambiente térmicamente controlado com temperatura entre 22 e 24 0C. Para registro das imagens foi utilizado o termógrafo ThermaCAM® T400 da FLIR Systems, com resolução de 76.800 pixels. Instituiu-se o <em>Therapy Taping</em> por 24 horas. O paciente assinou o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. <strong>Resultado</strong>: A termografia Pré uso da <em>Therapy Taping</em> revelou hiperradiação em região plantar do pé esquerdo com hot spots em calcâneo com temperatura de 33 oC e diferencial térmico de 1oC em relação à área correspondente do pé direito, que foi 32 oC. A termografia após 24 horas de uso da bandagem demonstrou melhora da hiperradiação em pé esquerdo, em relação ao pé direito, com diferencial térmico reduzido para 0,4ºC. <strong>Conclusão</strong>: O <em>Therapy Taping </em>reduziu a dor do paciente com fascite plantar e esta redução pode ser quantificada objetivamente através da Termografia clinica Funcional por</div><div>imagem infravermelha.</div>

Individual's senescence process takes place slowly and continuously beyond generates several changes including skin aging, since the decline in cellular activities. Countless resources have been created over the years, with the goal of stopping and / or reversing the unsightly aspects of the skin caused by this process. Thus, plasma jet, a new therapeutic resource has been used in order to promote rejuvenation through the reduction of wrinkles and expression lines. Objective: To evaluate the pattern of thermal variation of the tissue treated with a plasma jet, using infrared thermography. Methodology: This was a series of clinical cases involving 5 female patients over the age of 40 who had facial wrinkles. Patients were previously evaluated and anesthetized. Then, plasma jet therapy was performed in the supra-orbital region. Patients were evaluated for thermal imaging before and after anesthesia and post-therapy. Result: It was found through thermographic analysis, a significant variation in the temperature coefficient of the skin where the anesthetic was applied and then the plasma jet (ΔT > 0.4 °C). Conclusion: The present study proved through the use of thermography that the plasma jet was able to generate an increase in local temperature. The authors suggest that such thermal variation may be the result of a process of vasodilation in the treated region.

Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood (ILIB) represents a systemic laser photobiomodulation, where irradiation of a given artery is recommended through the use of laser light with different wavelengths. The technique developed in the 1970s, in the former Soviet Union. The present narrative review aimed to describe current aspects of ILIB therapy and its indications in different areas of health, especially in Dentistry. For the selection, searches were carried out in the PubMed, Google Scholar, Scielo and Cochrane databases, from October 2020 to January 2021. Scientific articles were selected in Portuguese and English, which had the full text available and which were published between 2015 and 2020. Some manuscripts were added for contextualization, totaling 53 studies. It was observed that the systemic effect of ILIB is achieved by irradiating the blood circulation. Increased cellular metabolism, increased production of nitric oxide and stimulated the action of the enzyme CuZn Superoxide Dismutase have been reported, and also had a documented analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. Studies suggest that ILIB has been indicated in different areas of health and can be applied in the prevention and treatment of systemic and local, chronic and acute conditions. In dentistry, the technique was most suitable for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, such as periodontitis, mucositis, postoperative surgeries and orofacial pain. Thus, the effects of ILIB suggest its use in dental practice. However, further studies are needed, such as randomized clinical trials, to validate the use of ILIB.
