Overview
The aim of this review work was to identify the most effective therapeutic intervention to increase the range of motion of the mandible in the temporomandibular joint (MMO – maximal mouth opening) in patients with its myogenic disorder. The databases Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and PEDro were used for the study and sources from 2011–2021 were included. A total of 390 articles were found based on the keywords, ,however, 12 studies met the defined criteria and were subjected to analysis. The results suggest that the most effective physiotherapeutic intervention to increase MMO in patients with myogenic temporomandibular disorder is the use of a low-power laser. Electrotherapy, combination therapy – exercise plus manual techniques, exercise alone and partly also soft tissue techniques were evaluated as other effective procedures.
Keywords:
temporomandibular disorder therapy – temporomandibular disorder – temporomandibular joint therapy – therapy of temporomandibular disorder – craniomandibular disorders
