Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the literature, there are no studies comparing the use of occlusal splint and Low Level Laser (LLL) in the treatment of Temporomandibular Disfunction (TMD) and including Ultrasonography (USG) in these parameters. In this study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature in terms of determining which treatment method is more effective by evaluating the changes in the needles muscles with the use of occlusal splints and LLL with USG and other parameters in certain periods, as well as evaluating which parameters are more effective.
