A poster on MLS® Laser Therapy at the GSID National Congress

The II National Congress of the “Italian Craniomandibular dysfunction Study Group”, which took place on 3rd and 4th June in Marina di Carrara, was also attended by ASAlaser in order to promote the Mphi D 5 device. Held at the CarraraFiere Congress Centre, the event entitled “Let’s chew on bruxism, mastichiamo il Bruxismo”, saw the exhibition of 19 posters, half of which represented works published in international magazines, and was attended by numerous delegates from many foreign countries. In addition, there was also an exceptional scientific program with speakers available to discuss various topics interactively with the public. Among the speakers there was also clinical researcher Dr Daniele Manfredini, Professor of Implantology and Craniomandibular Pathophysiology and Gnathology of the Masticatory system – Bruxism at the CLSOPD of the university of Padova, who presented a poster of the scientific study entitled “Comparison between three treatment modalities for the management of myofascial pain of jaw muscles: preliminary data from a randomized controlled trial” in which he uses MLS^® Laser Therapy to treat some temporomandibular disorders.
“Our study – points out Professor Manfredini at the end of the Congress- rightly suggests how MLS^® Laser Therapy could be considered a useful tool to manage the symptoms of overload on masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular articulation. Today’s challenge in the field of pain therapy is to find the key in order to favour a remission of the symptoms as quickly as possible and which is executed with reversible means and conservative therapies. “In this light, the results of my research confirm that MLS^® Laser Therapy can find a worthy place within the field of issues of the stomatognathic system, as its overlapping efficiency in respect of the two principal treatment modes currently in use, (occlusal plates and cognitive behavioural therapy), makes this definitely promising and worthy of further research. Besides – ends Manfredini - the possibility that the Laser Therapy cycles may be carried out with closely spaced regular multiple sessions can definitely contribute to reinforce the efficiency of the above mentioned therapies”.
