Therapeutic Potential of Low-level Laser Photobiomodulation on Adjuvant Induced Temporomandibular Joint Arthritis in A Rat Model

comparative evaluation of low-level laser and systemic steroid therapy in adjuvant-enhanced arthritis of rat temporomandibular joint: a histological study

background: low-level laser therapy (lllt) has shown a promising effect in ameliorating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (ra). the aim of this investigation was to compare the early and late antiinfl ammatory effects of lllt and betamethasone in ra. materials and methods: in this animal experimental study, after inducing a model of ra in temporomandibular joint (tmj) of 37 wistar rats using adj...

Photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy.

effect of low-level laser on healing of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis in rats.

temporomandibular disorders (tmd) are clinical conditions characterized by pain and sounds of the temporomandibular joint (tmj). this study was designed to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (lllt) on healing of osteoarthritis in rats with tmd.thirty-two male wistar rats (250-200 g) were housed in standard plastic cages. after injection of complete freund's adjuvant into the tmj, rats...

A Meta-analysis of Clinical Effects of Low-level Laser Therapy on Temporomandibular Joint Pain

[Purpose] Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain is a symptom of TMJ disease. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is often used in the clinical treatment of TMJ pain. The aim of this study was to review the effective parameters of LLLT for TMJ pain. [Methods] This study was a systematic review in which electronic databases were searched for the period of January 2005 to January 2010. We selected reports...
