Interventions

Photobiomodulationprocedure

PBM was applied, three times a week for four consecutive weeks at 5 points in the TMJ region: superior, anterior, lateral, posterior and postero inferior to the condyle. In addition, all patients received laser application in the temporal muscle (anterior, middle and posterior), in the masseter (upper, middle and lower portion) and insertion of the medial pterygoid.

Manual Therapy (MT)procedure

Patients were submitted to MT at temporal, masseter and pterygoid medial from both sides, during 3 minutes each muscle group (Extraoral) and at masseter and lateral pterygoid (Intraoral) for 3 minutes, each total 21 minutes. MT on the TMJ region was performed for 1 minute and 3 repetitions during three times a week .
