Patients nowadays have many options for treatment in the dental office - new dentist laser technologies are now available to aid in the treatment of TMJ inflammation and TMJ dysfunction.
A new dental laser technology that BioRESEARCH Associates (Milwaukee, WI) is offering dentists is known as the MLS Laser Therapy (ASA, Italy).
The MLS laser is a diode laser, that works on the triad of pain, inflammation, and edema by helping with ATP production in the mitochondrial "power-house" of the cells.
MLS is a great therapy option for those looking for alternative, non-invasive treatment methods in the dental office. Many dentists trained in treating TMJ dysfunctions are used to traditional therapies including:
- TENS therapy - Ultra low frequency "Transcutaneous Electro Nerual Stimulation"
- Injection Therapy - Everything from Prolo-therapy and saline injections, etc
- Wilckodontics® - a method of Accelerated Osteogenic OrthodonticsTM or AOO
- Iontophoresis - medication delivery system via passing electrical current through the skin
- Ultra-Sound and Vibration Therapy
Here is a video showing a before and after Joint Vibration Analysis on a patient with early TMJ symptoms of vibration and/or early disc movement:
