Influence of Intraoral Photobiomodulation in Individuals With Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

Intraoral photobiomodulation is applied in the temporal, medial and lateral pterygoid, bilateral, totaling 4 points of application of phototherapy. The researcher who will perform the treatments will receive the equipment with the stylus activates and pre-programmed dose, an eye protection (glasses, opaque) will be used by the participants, to protect the eyes, because the same does not cause any sensation to volunteer. The technique is used, contact an area. The individual is positioned supine on a stretcher, with the legs supported on a foam roller 20 cm in diameter, the head supported on a pillow, to accommodate her comfortably in a resting posture, prompted the opening of the mouth and placing the tip of photobiomodulation in sections as described below, with 2 minutes interval between one application and another for rest with the mouth closed.

The volunteers will be subjected to the same Group intervention, Photobiomodulation and the researcher will receive the equipment unaware if the pen that will apply the phototherapy is active or placebo, only the research coordinator will have this knowledge, and for this group the researcher will receive placebo pen. Fits the caveat that, when the voluntary participation, will be held with the active pen treatment.
