(Formerly known as Botox)<\/h2>\n<p>It is a protein, derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Its action consists in blocking the nerve endings, it prevents the release of acetylcholine and therefore the muscular contraction. The muscle relaxes because it undergoes a denervation. The effect takes 2 to 4 days to appear reaching its maximum expression within 15 days after its application. This action is reversible, its effect lasts approximately 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Botulinum toxin is known in medicine since the year 1973 in primates. In the late 1970s it was introduced as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of strabismus. Since then the therapeutic applications have been expanded in different fields.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.85&#8243;

It should be noted here that the indication for its application must be purely professional since the causes of bruxism are many and there are different types of bruxism: physiological or pathological and mild, moderate or severe.<\/p>\n<h3>Application and treatment<\/h3>\n<p>For patients with bruxism, a first appointment of 30 minutes will be necessary to assess the muscular dynamics of the patient, and any facial asymmetries if existing.<\/p>\n<p>Once the patient is indicated for this treatment, the infiltration of the muscle masseter is carried out with an ultra-fine needle.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure is simple for the patient, it does not require anesthesia, as it is not painful and its effect starts within a few days (3-4 days).<\/p>\n<p>The final result obtained will have a maximum duration of 6 months, after these 6 months little by little the muscle will recover its initial strength.<\/p>\n<h2>Application of botulinal toxin in patients with mandibular facial asymmetry<\/h2>\n<p>The procedure is the same as above.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of its application is to relax the muscle masseter unilaterally .
