Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Aim: to compare different treatment modalities for radiation induced trismus for maxillofacial patients methods:45 participants (20 females and 25 males) with trismus and pain following head and neck cancer and underwent radiation therapy were enrolled in this study . patients were divided into three groups : group1 received threaded tapered screw appliance therapy, patients in group II received low-level laser therapy and patients in group III received low-level laser therapy in addition to threaded tapered screw appliance therapy.

- low-level laser therapy
- description
- The laser apparatus consisted of a handpiece with two attachments: either a plastic tip was attached to the same handpiece to transfer laser energy intra-orally when it was used to irradiate the lateral pterygoid muscle, or a specially designed optic prism was attached to the tip of the prism for extraoral application on extraoral muscles.
