Ozonated Olive Oil and Low-Level Laser Therapy in TMD Treatment

Yuzuncu Yil University51 enrolled

Overview

The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of ozonated olive oil and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in treating pain in individuals with TMD. In this prospective, randomized, split-mouth, double-blind study, two different treatment methods were applied to the patients.

two different treatment methods were applied to the patients. Group 1 (study group, one side of the same patient): topical ozonated olive oil + LLLT; Group 2 (the other side of the same patient): Olive oil with topical ozone + LLLT (not activated). The ozonated olive oil was applied topically three times a day for four weeks, the LLLT was applied noncontact at a distance of 1 cm, and patients attended three sessions per week for four weeks. Before starting treatment, and after 6 sessions of laser therapy, the patients were evaluated. (2 weeks), after 12 laser sessions (1 month), and 3 months after the first session.
