Revolutionizing TMJ Treatment: The Impact of Laser Therapy in Dental Practice

Posted: November 26, 2024
The article highlights the prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) and the importance of addressing TMJD issues in dental practice. Laser therapy, specifically photobiomodulation (PBM), has emerged as a non-invasive and effective approach for managing TMJD-related pain and improving patient comfort. PBM works by reducing inflammation and inhibiting nociceptive signals, leading to pain relief and enhanced healing. Studies show the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in treating TMJD, providing significant pain reduction and functional improvement. Laser therapy can be a valuable adjunct or primary treatment modality for acute and chronic TMJD cases.
