Analysis of laser therapy and assessment methods in the rehabilitation of temporomandibular disorder: a systematic review of the literature

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the effects of low-level laser therapy in the treatment of TMD, and to analyze the use of different assessment tools. [Subjects and Methods] Searches were carried out of the BIREME, MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO electronic databases by two independent researchers for papers published in English and Portuguese using the terms: “temporomandibular joint laser therapy” and “TMJ laser treatment”. [Results] Following the application of… Show more

“…Thus, interventions that act directly on analgesia mechanisms, such as the low level laser therapy (LLLT), favor the speech therapy at another time, when it is already possible for the patient to perform the exercises without causing pain, increasing the functional stability of the stomatognathic system (6) . The use of LLLT in muscoloskeletal pain conditions has been described and discussed in recent studies, demonstrating favourable results in myogenic and articular pain, as it induces an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and biomodulator effect on cellular physiological functions (9,10) . It is a non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive, rapid and safe intervention, that may be beneficial for TMD patients (11) .…”

“…A terapia com laser de baixa intensidade (LLLT), assim como a TMO, é um tratamento não invasivo que tem mostrado ser benéfico no tratamento de dor relacionado à DTM sendo, portanto, considerado eficiente como agente terapêutico e coadjuvante no tratamento das DTM (Kulekcioglu et al, 2003;De Medeiros et al, 2005;Çetineret al, 2006;Mcnelly et al, 2006;Medlicott e Harris, 2006;Shinozaki et al, 2006;Fikácková et al, 2007;Mazzetto et al, 2007;Carrasco et al, 2008;Shirani et al, 2009;Marini et al, 2010;Venezian et al, 2010;Mazzetto et al, 2010;Oz et al, 2010;Dostalová et al, 2012;Sattayut et al, 2012;de Moraes Maia et al, 2014;Salmos-Brito et al, 2013;Melchior et al, 2013;Ahrari et al, 2014;Herpich et al, 2015;Rodrigues et al, 2015).…”

“…Seus efeitos terapêuticos envolvendo modulação do processo inflamatório (Ortiz et al, 2001;Fikácková et al, 2007;Carrasco et al, 2008;Emshoff et al, 2008;Shirani et al, 2009;Venezian et al, 2010;Salmos-Brito et al, 2013;Ahrari et al, 2014;Madani et al, 2014;Herpich et al, 2015) são devido às suas características de energia de baixa intensidade e comprimentos de onda capazes de penetrar nos tecidos e exercer uma influência na síntese, liberação e metabolismo de numerosas substâncias envolvidas na analgesia (Andrade e Frare, 2008;Marini et al, 2010).…”
