Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin-A Injections in Masticatory Muscles for the Management of Bruxism: A Clinical Perspective

Published on: 21st May, 2025

Bruxism, characterized by involuntary, repetitive jaw-muscle activity including clenching and grinding of teeth, can lead to significant dental and muscular complications. Conventional treatments—such as occlusal splints and behavioral therapy-may not fully address muscular hyperactivity. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A), a neurotoxin that inhibits acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions, has emerged as a promising therapeutic option. This article reviews clinical studies regarding the efficacy of BoNT-A injections into masticatory muscles for bruxism management, with a focus on clinical outcomes, safety, and practical considerations.

The Dental Microscope: Expanding Vision, Precision, and Ergonomics in Dentistry

Published on: 25th July, 2025

Microscope dentistry has been shown to enhance the visual capabilities and motor skills of dentists, regardless of their specialization. Additionally, there is an often-overlooked benefit: cognitive support. This assistance boosts confidence in their tasks, leading to improved decision-making by influencing the prefrontal cortex. Furthermore, using a microscope helps protect the brain’s mental functions, which is crucial in a profession that demands precision and focus. Overall, this tool promotes the health and well-being of the operator by integrating ergonomic principles.
