Various treatment modalities have been utilized in dentistry for pain management and other applications, including TMJD treatment. Laser usage has been increasingly utilized for pain management both intraorally and extraorally and has been termed photobiomodulation (PBM). Regarding TMJD treatment, PBM permits a non-invasive approach to stimulate the relief of pain and improve patient comfort with predictable outcomes. PBM also allows a non-pharmaceutical approach to treatment.
