Dr Mahender Singh, Dr Shweta Verma, Dr Munish Goel

Abstract :

MPDS is a psychological disorder which involves the masticatory muscles and results in pain, limitation in jaw movement, joint noise, jaw deviation in closing and opening the mouth and sensitivity in touching one or more masticatory muscles or their tendons. The present article reviews the incidence, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment aspects of MPDS. Understanding the multifactorial etiology and complex clinical presentation of MPDS need to be fully understood for successful execution of various treatment modalities. Laser (Helium Neon) as monotherapy or in combination with exercise had shown promising results and can be used as an effective treatment modality for the treatment of MPDS.
