PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of occlusal splint plus laser therapy (OS + LT) compared with OS alone on the patient-reported outcomes and clinical parameters of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).
METHODS: Twenty-three patients with TMDs were randomly assigned to two treatment approaches: OS and OS + LT (multiwave locked system). The two outcomes were clinical parameters (mouth-opening distances, number of muscles and TMJs with pain) and patient-reported outcomes (pain score and oral health-related quality of life [OHRQoL] determined using the 14-item oral health impact profile [OHIP-14]). The outcomes were measured at four time points: baseline, 2 weeks, 1 and 3 months after treatment. According to DC/TMD Axis I classification, the participants were diagnosed as having pain only and pain with intraarticular joint disorder. Adjusting for age and sex, the outcome changes were analysed using generalized estimating models at a 5% significance level.
RESULTS: The pain-free mouth-opening distance of the patients who received OS + LT continuously increased from 2 weeks to 3 months. However, the value was significantly increased at 3 months in patients who received OS alone. The unassisted mouth-opening distance significantly increased after 3 months in both groups. In both treatment approaches, the number of muscles and TMJs with pain, as well as the pain and OHIP-14 scores gradually decreased from baseline to 3 months.
CONCLUSIONS: The patients who received OS and OS + LT demonstrated better OHRQoL and clinical parameters during 3 months after treatment. An improvement in the pain-free mouth-opening distance at 2 weeks was found only in OS plus LT group; however, this difference may not be clinically significant.
