| Abstrakt: | Diathermy is a therapeutic technique utilizing electromagnetic waves that is widely used in the medical field, especially for orthopedic injuries such as musculoskeletal disorders. Shortwave diathermy (SWD), microwave diathermy (MWD), sonic therapy or ultrasound (US), and long-wave diathermy are the various types, out of which shortwave diathermy is most commonly used in medical fields. However, diathermy has not been explored much in dentistry. This literature review aims to discuss the various applications of diathermy and its potential use in dentistry with the existing scarce literature and further emphasize its role as a recommendation in the management of orofacial pain in dental practice.
