Botulinum toxin injection for bruxism in Touggourt

Maxillofacial Surgeon

Bruxism is manifested by repetitive involuntary movements, most often at night, of the muscles of the jaw. Its consequences are dental (abrasion of teeth, breakage of prosthesis), articular (pain, blockage of temporomandibular joints), and muscular (hypertrophy of the muscles of mastication, masseters and / or temporals). Treatment is currently based on orthodontic treatment associated with injections of botulinum toxin into the responsible muscles, possibly under electromyographic control (a device that records muscle activity).
