Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Disorders

Interventions

RADIATION

Red laser

On the pain points of muscle, laser was applied (8J/cm ²) with an interval of 48 hours between applications. In the joints with sensitivity, a dose of 4J/cm2 laser was applied with an interval of 48 hours between applications.
