Combining Diathermy and Tecartherapy for Advanced Dental Treatments.
What are Diathermy and Tecartherapy in the Treatment of Jaw Joint Pain?
Both diathermy and tecartherapy are therapeutic techniques applied through specific devices and are usually performed by trained health professionals, such as physiotherapists or rehabilitation specialists.
The procedure for diathermy and tecartherapy generally follows these steps:
- Initial assessment: Before starting any treatment, the health professional will conduct an initial evaluation to determine the nature of the problem and establish an accurate diagnosis. This may include a review of the clinical history, a physical examination, and possibly additional tests, such as diagnostic imaging.
- Patient preparation: The patient will be prepared for the procedure, which may include removing jewelry, clothing, or any objects that may interfere with the treatment. The procedure will also be explained to the patient, and any questions or concerns will be addressed.
- Application of electrodes or device heads: In the case of diathermy, electrodes or device heads will be applied to the area to be treated. These electrodes emit high-frequency currents that generate heat in the deep tissues. In the case of tecartherapy, capacitive and resistive electrodes will be used to generate controlled heat in the tissues.
- Adjustment of parameters and treatment duration: The professional will adjust the device's parameters, such as the intensity of the current and the duration of the treatment, according to the specific needs of the patient and the condition being treated. The duration of each diathermy or tecartherapy session may vary but generally ranges from 15 to 30 minutes.
- Monitoring and adjustments during the treatment: During the procedure, the professional will monitor the patient's response and make adjustments as necessary to ensure the comfort and effectiveness of the treatment. This may involve changes in the intensity of the current or the position of the electrodes.
- Follow-up and treatment plan: After completing the diathermy or tecartherapy sessions, the professional may recommend a continuous treatment plan, which may include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, or other treatment modalities, depending on the patient's condition.
It is important to note that the exact procedure may vary depending on the type of device used and the condition being treated. Therefore, it is essential to receive treatment from a trained health professional and follow their specific instructions to achieve the best results and minimize potential risks.

The number of appointments needed for diathermy and tecartherapy therapy in treating jaw joint pain can vary depending on the severity of the condition, the patient's response to treatment, and the health professional's assessment and recommendations.
In general, an individualized and patient-centered treatment approach is recommended. Therefore, the number of appointments can be determined by the health professional after an initial assessment and during the course of treatment. Some patients may require only a few sessions, while others may need more prolonged treatment.
It is important to follow the treatment plan recommended by the health professional and attend all scheduled appointments. Therapy with diathermy and tecartherapy is often combined with other treatment modalities, such as strengthening exercises, manual therapy, and education about pain management and injury prevention.
The health professional will be able to periodically evaluate the results of the treatment and make adjustments in the number and frequency of appointments as necessary.
