The biological action of microwave therapy is due to the conversion of high-frequency electromagnetic waves to heat that is produced directly in the tissue at the radiation area. It is a deep heating procedure of limited range with low-level exposure to the subcutaneous fatty tissue; it may be used in subacute and chronic infectious inflammatory conditions, after surgical interventions, in affections of the salivary glands and of the maxillary sinuses, and also in temporo-mandibular joint disorders and facial neuralgias. As a rule, irradiation by microwaves is only a supporting treatment. Its advantages are above all: easy application; great economy; versatility; uniform, locally limited distribution of heat with low-level exposure to the fatty tissue; virtual safety.
微波治疗的生物学作用是由于高频电磁波转化为热量，该热量直接在辐射区域的组织中产生。它是一种作用范围有限的深部加热程序，对皮下脂肪组织的辐射水平较低；可用于亚急性和慢性感染性炎症疾病、外科手术后、唾液腺和上颌窦疾病，也可用于颞下颌关节紊乱和面部神经痛。通常，微波照射仅作为辅助治疗。其优点首先是：应用简便；经济性高；多功能性；在低水平辐射脂肪组织时热量分布均匀且局部受限；几乎安全。
