    Background: Myofascial pain is one of the most common facial region pains, presenting itself with various signs and symptoms like tenderness of masticatory muscles and difficulty in mouth opening. Considering its multifactorial aetiology various treatment modalities are present. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for the patients of temporomandibular disorders (TMDS). Methods: The study was conducted with 20 patients diagnosed with TMDS. Group A received LLLT at 660 nm, 6 J/point, two sessions/week for 4 weeks and group B received TENS at 2�250 Hz, two sessions/week for 4 weeks. Results: Pain Score decreased and mouth opening increased in both groups with time, however, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. Right and left lateral excursions showed improvement at different intervals in both groups. However, the LLLT group showed significant improvement. Conclusion: Clinical trial showed improvement in visual analogue scale (VAS), maximum mouth opening (MMO) and lateral excursion in the different time intervals in both the groups with LLLT showed more improvement with lateral excursions movements. � 2023 The Authors.

    Oral rhabdomyosarcoma of mandibular region: A case report
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Batra, Sakshi; Srivastava, Adit; Singh, Akhilesh K.; Krishnan, Aswathi
    ABSTRACT: Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal cells, showing varying degrees of striated muscle cell differentiation. The most common sites of occurrence are the head and neck (40%), genitourinary tract (25%), and extremities (20%). Rhabdomyosarcoma is anatomically divided into two categories including parameningeal and nonparameningeal. It predominantly occurs in children while rarely found in adults, and involvement of the oral cavity accounts for only 10%-20% of all head and neck cases. The present case is of oral rhabdomyosarcoma of a 27-year-old woman, involving the mandibular region and demonstrates its clinical, radiological, histological, and immunohistochemical findings. � 2023 National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery.
