Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) encompass a wide array of ailments affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), muscles of mastication, and the allied structural framework. Myofascial pain, internal derangement of the joint, and degenerative joint diseases constitute the majority of TMDs. TMDs usually have a multifactorial etiology, and treatment modalities range from conservative therapies to surgical interventions. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has evolved as an efficient non-invasive therapeutic modality in TMDs. Previously conducted systematic reviews and meta-analyses have shown variable results regarding the efficiency of LLLT in TMJ disorder patients. Hence, this systematic review was carried out as an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of LLLT in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder patients.
颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMDs）包括一系列影响颞下颌关节（TMJ）、咀嚼肌和相关结构框架的疾病。肌筋膜疼痛、关节内紊乱和退行性关节疾病构成了大多数 TMDs。TMDs 通常具有多因素病因，治疗方法从保守治疗到手术干预不等。低水平激光治疗（LLLT）已成为 TMDs 中一种有效的非侵入性治疗方式。先前进行的系统评价和荟萃分析显示，LLLT 对 TMJ 障碍患者的疗效存在差异。因此，进行了这项系统评价，试图评估 LLLT 治疗颞下颌关节紊乱病患者的疗效。
