TREATMENT OF BRUXISM

Bruxism is the uncontrolled contraction of the jaw muscles.

The goal of the technique is to inject botulinum toxin into the jaw muscles to reduce the contraction of the mandibular elevator muscles (masseter and temporal muscles) and thus

• Reduce the volume and masticatory power of the mandibular elevator muscles
• Restore normal kinetics of the mandibular temporal joints

Indications for severe bruxism

Voluminous masseters almost deforming the face Very worn teeth Painful muscular sensation in the morning Meniscal damage with snapping
