Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results produced by a manual therapy treatment combined with dry needling (MT+DN) and a manual therapy treatment (TM) versus a control (C), to normalize the altered cervico-mandibular variables after a session of root canal therapy.

Conditions

  • Endodontically Treated Teeth

Interventions

OTHER

Manual Therapy + Dry Needling

Dry Needling: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a fine needle or acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle in order to stimulate myofascial trigger points (MTrP) provoking one to six local twitch responses (LTR). Manual Therapy Protocol: Intraoral manual techniques were applied to the musculature of both sides, both masseter and medial pterygoid, consisting of both massage and stretching. Furthermore, a grade I-II in the slack-zone traction was applied in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
