A growing number of dentists are providing botulinum toxin to patients. The research presented here outlines potential uses of Botox related to oral health and facial problems as compared to traditional treatment methods. The administration of Botox (historically done by dermatologists and neurologists) may fall under dentists' jurisdiction, as their training and knowledge encompasses the entire head and neck. A review is made of the literature, based on Ovid and PubMed searches, selecting articles describing the injection of botulinum toxin A in areas related to the oral cavity and the face, excluding cosmetic purposes.
越来越多的牙医开始为患者提供肉毒杆菌毒素。与传统治疗方法相比，此处展示的研究概述了肉毒杆菌毒素在口腔健康和面部问题方面的潜在用途。肉毒杆菌毒素的施用（以往由皮肤科医生和神经科医生进行）可能属于牙医的职责范围，因为他们的培训和知识涵盖整个头部和颈部。基于对Ovid和PubMed的搜索进行文献综述，选择描述在口腔和面部相关区域注射A型肉毒杆菌毒素的文章，但不包括美容用途。
