Abstract: Objective:To study the influence factors of laser therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders(TMD)pain. Methods:1 20 cases of TMD were treated by MDC-500 semiconductor laser therapy.VAS was valued after each treatment.The cor-relation of the VAS varians following treatment with gender and age was analysed by two way AHOVA of the repeated measurement data.Results:1 1 4 cases completed the treatment and follow-up.After each treatment the VAS decreased(P <0.001 ),in females decreased more than in males(P <0.05).There was no significant difference between age groups(P =0.208).Conclusion:Laser therapy can ease TMD pain,and is more effective for female patients.
