Abstract
Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) is a powerful neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, which can relieve muscle spasm or limit gland secretion by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular/glandular junction. In addition, BTX-A can also play a role in the sensory feedback loop, which can ease pain. Currently, dentists are paying more attention to the cosmetic applications of BTX-A in the oral and maxillofacial region, while their understanding of BTX-A's non-cosmetic applications is still insufficient. Although the specific molecular mechanism of BTX-A in oral diseases has not been fully clarified, with the development of evidence-based medicine, more and more clinical evidence has began to support the effectiveness of BTX-A in the therapeutic applications of oral diseases. This article will briefly review the main molecular mechanisms of BTX-A, the latest clinical research progress of BTX-A at home and abroad in the treatment of oral diseases, clinical contraindications and adverse reactions of BTX-A, providing a new idea for the treatment of oral diseases.
期刊介绍:
Founded in August 1953, Chinese Journal of Stomatology is a monthly academic journal of stomatology published publicly at home and abroad, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and co-sponsored by the Chinese Stomatology Association. It mainly reports the leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in the field of oral medicine, as well as the basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in oral clinical practice and is closely combined with oral clinical practice.
Chinese Journal of Over the years, Stomatology has been published in Medline, Scopus database, Toxicology Abstracts Database, Chemical Abstracts Database, American Cancer database, Russian Abstracts database, China Core Journal of Science and Technology, Peking University Core Journal, CSCD and other more than 20 important journals at home and abroad Physical medicine database and retrieval system included.
