Abstract

Temporomandibular disorder is a collective term used to characterize a pathological group of conditions involving the temporomandibular joint and its contiguous tissues. Although the pathologies behind temporomandibular disorders have not been completely explained, the symptoms associated with these disorders are similar and are most commonly manifest as pain in the orofacial region. In preliminary studies, botulinum toxin has been used successfully to treat various pain syndromes, including temporomandibular disorders. The aim of this review is to give information about botulinum toxin, its application in temporomandibular disorders, mechanism of action and application dosage were also described.

Temporomandibular Bozuklukların Tedavisinde Botulinum Toksinin Rolü

Abstract

Temporomandibular bozukluk, temporomandibular eklem ve beraberindeki dokuların patolojik durumlarını karakterize etmek için ortak kullanılan bir terimdir. Temporomandibular bozuklukların arkasında yer alan patolojiler tam olarak açıklanmasa da bu bozukluk ile ilişkili semptomlar benzerdir ve en sık orofasiyal bölgede ağrı olarak kendini göstermektedir. Yapılan ön çalışmalarda, botulinum toksini temporomandibular bozukluklar olmak üzere çeşitli ağrı sendromlarını tedavi etmek için başarıyla kullanılmıştır. Bu derlemenin amacı; botulinum toksini hakkında bilgi vermek, temporomandibular bozukluklardaki uygulamalarını, etki mekanizmasını ve
uygulama dozlarını anlatmaktır.
