Abstract

  Many medical and dental conditions have no complete treatment modalities in conventional ways. The An alternative treatment is usage of botulinum toxin through chemo denervation. One of effective way of preventing damage to dental hard tissues, restorations and to increase the effect of treatment is to ‘‘de-programme’’ the muscles responsible for excessive destructive forces. Minimally invasive procedure at low cost with limited recovery time is provided by them. For rejuvenative and cosmetic procedures, bothbotox and derma fillers both go hand in hand. The mechanism of action and various uses of botox and derma fillers in the maxillofacial areas along with its future implications in the dentistryare focussed in this article. 

Keywords: Botulinum Toxin; Dental Conditions; Derma Fillers; Cosmetics; Dentistry; Maxillofacial.
