Abstract(s)
O bruxismo é definido como uma atividade muscular mandibular repetitiva e involuntária caracterizada pelo aperto ou ranger dos dentes e/ou compressão da mandíbula. Este comportamento tem um impacto negativo no sistema estomatognático, que merece a atenção do Médico Dentista.
São descritas diversas modalidades para o controlo do bruxismo. Entre estas, recentemente, a toxina botulínica tem-se destacado por promover a inatividade temporária de músculos mastigatórios e melhorar os seus sinais e sintomas.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo efetuar uma revisão da literatura sobre a utilização da toxina botulínica no bruxismo, visando determinar a sua eficácia e segurança.
A análise dos estudos publicados mostra que a toxina botulínica pode reduzir os níveis de dor e a intensidade dos eventos de bruxismo (mais do que a frequência dos mesmos), sem provocar efeitos adversos importantes. Conclui-se que a toxina botulínica apresenta um efeito promissor no controlo do bruxismo.
Bruxism is defined as an involuntary repetitive mandibular muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and / or compression of the jaw. This behavior has a negative impact on the stomatognathic system, which deserves the attention of the dentist. Several modalities for controlling bruxism are described. Among these, recently, botulinum toxin has been highlighted for promoting the temporary inactivity of masticatory muscles and improving their signs and symptoms. This paper aims to review the literature on the use of botulinum toxin in bruxism to determine its efficacy and safety. Analysis of published studies shows that botulinum toxin can reduce pain levels and the intensity of bruxism events (rather than their frequency) without causing significant adverse effects. It is concluded that botulinum toxin has a promising effect on bruxism control.
