| description | The most important clinical indicators of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are pain in the temporomandibular joints, masticatory and cervical muscles, as well as a reduction in the opening capacity of the mouth. Psychosocial factors have a significant impact in the persistence of the disease and should be taken in consideration in the treatment plan. The aim of the present study was to perform clinical and statistical evaluation on the management of pain symptoms and overcome of pronounced arthro- and myogenic mandibular contractures in GAD 7 positive patients with chronic temporomandibular disorders using combined irradiation with infrared gallium-aluminum-arsenide laser (785 nm), superluminescent visible red (633 nm) and infrared (880 nm) light emitting devices. |
