The aim of this study was to monitor the function of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding tissues and compare the objective measurements of the effect of LLLT.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Background data:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    LLLT has been considered effective in reducing pain and muscular tension; thus improving the quality of patients' lives.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Materials and Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    TMJ function was evaluated by cephalometric tracing analysis, orthopantomogram, TMJ tomogram, and computer face-bow record. Interalveolar space between central incisors before and after therapy was measured. Patients evaluated pain on the Visual Analog Scale. LLLT was performed in five treatment sessions (energy density of 15.4\u2009J\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) by semiconductive GaAlAs laser with an output of 280\u2009mW, emitting radiation wavelength of 830\u2009mm.

Significant differences were seen in the posterior and anterior face height. The results comparing healthy and impaired TMJ sagittal condyle paths showed that patients with TMJ pain during function had significantly flatter nonanatomical movement during function. After therapy, the unpleasant feeling was reduced from 27.5 to 4.16 on the pain Visual Analog Scale. The pain had reduced the ability to open the mouth from 34 to 42\u2009mm.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    The laser therapy was effective in the improvement of the range of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and promoted a significant reduction of pain symptoms.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2011.3171","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,2]],"date-time":"2012-05-02T11:26:50Z","timestamp":1335958010000},"page":"275-280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Effectiveness of Physiotherapy and GaAlAs Laser in the Management of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Tatjana","family":"Dostalov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles University","place":["Czech Republic"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Petra","family":"Hlinakova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles University","place":["Czech Republic"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Kasparova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles University","place":["Czech Republic"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Rehacek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles University","place":["Czech Republic"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lenka","family":"Vavrickova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles University","place":["Czech Republic"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leo\u0161","family":"Navr\u00e1til","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles University","place":["Czech Republic"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","volume-title":"Temporomandibular disorders: guidelines for classification, assessment and management","author":"McNeill C.","year":"1993","unstructured":"McNeill C. 1993.
