Placebo group
Without bruxism and no intervention. They will be submitted to electromyographic assessment and evaluation of salivary cortisol and dopamine.
The volunteers in Group 2 will be submitted to the initial evaluation of the morphological and psychosocial variables. During the same appointment, red LED (3 X 6 cm) will be administered using a board with 6 LEDs with a wavelength of 650 nm ± 20 nm, seven-minute operation time, optical spot of 5 ± 2 mm and optical output of 2~5 mW, with a dose of 2.675 J/cm2. Further analyses will be performed immediately after the photobiomodulation session and one week later. They will be submitted before and after LED to electromyographic assessment and evaluation of salivary cortisol and dopamine.
They will be treated using the standard protocol of a rigid occlusal splint. After the initial evaluation, molds will be made for the fabrication of the splints, which will be delivered one week later. Written and verbal instructions for use will be given. After one month of daily use, the volunteers will return for the final morphological and psychosocial evaluations.
Subjects with bruxism. The same procedures as LED group, but the device will be turn off.
