ABSTRACT

Neuromuscular deprogramming plays an important role in the treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction, one of the main drawbacks is the prolonged period of treatment, which influences the acceptance of the patient or the abandonment of treatment. The diagnosis is crucial to plan the treatment since it covers a wide range of variables to treat it, so in this case it is a dolichofacial patient, with problems of temporomandibular dysfunction of muscular origin, which is why we chose to use low-level laser therapy, level as a coadjutant of treatment, resulting in a better acceptance and collaboration of the deprogramming of the patient in a shorter period of time.
