Manual Therapy and Kinesio Taping on Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Following Oral Surgeries

Summary

Oral surgeries include various types such as impacted wisdom tooth surgery, oral cyst enucleation (cystectomy), surgical incision and drainage of odontogenic abcess, oral tumor excision and open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fracture (ORIF). Oral surgeries are usually associated with pain, swelling and inability to open the mouth. Those symptoms reach the maximum intensity between the third to fifth days postoperatively for the swelling and 24 to 48 hours postoperatively for the pain and then, they gradually diminished until the 7th day postoperatively
