Effect of using Photobiomodulation, stabilization, and anterior repositioning splints on the pain level of subjects with temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction

Objective: was to evaluate the effect of four conservative treatment modalities on pain level patients withtemporomandibular joint (TMJ) anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDwR). Material and Methods:100 subjects (64 females 36 males) were selected, divided into groups, 25 each. Subjects ofGroup I have been treated behavioral therapy. Group II had Photobiomodulationtherapy (PBMT). III by repositioning splint (ARS). GroupIV a stabilization splint. The evaluated visual analog score (VAS) from 0 10.Statistical analysis done using one-way ANOVA test for comparison between groups. Within each group, acomparison baseline after paired t-test (p<0.05). Results: There wasa statistical difference scores different groups (p < 0.05). Also, therewere differences all 0.05) except that group > 0.05).Conclusion: use ARS are effective non-invasive methods reducing painlevel in TMJ ADDwR cases.
