- Abstract
This document discusses the therapeutic uses and efficacy of botulinum toxin (BoNT) in orofacial medicine from a dental perspective. BoNT is a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum and has been used since 1979 to treat various medical conditions, including oromandibular dystonia, trigeminal neuralgia, orofacial pain, and temporomandibular disorders. The document includes several studies that examine the effects of BoNT on different orofacial conditions, such as myofascial pain, neuropathic pain, and primary headaches. It also emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and proper training for safe and effective BoNT therapy.
