Brief Summary:
This is a one year followup study that aims to assess the efficacy of low level laser therapy LLLT on pain mouth opening and masticatory muscle activity in cases of temporomandibular dysfunction TMD as compared to soft occlusive splints
Detailed Description:
A prospective parallel randomized controlled study will be conducted at the outpatient university clinic Participant recruitment started following approval from the Ethics Committee The patients will participate in the study after signing an informed consent form prior to data collection Per inclusion criteria subjects included are females less than 30 years of age diagnosed with unilateral arthrogenous TMD having complete permanent dentition and showing normal occlusion Prior to participating in any study-related procedures participants read and signed the informed consent form approved by the Institutional Review Board Participants will be divided into three groups three groups LLLT Group A soft occlusive splint therapy OST Group B waitlist as controls Group C
