Abstract
Temporomandibular joint is a ginglymoarthrodial joint performing hinge and rotational movements. This complex unit is made up of bone, muscles, ligaments, etc. Nature has created this joint so beautifully that for whole of a person芒�?�?s life it bears masticatory forces, muscular forces and other para functional forces. Different surveys over the time, have detected a high prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorders. Nowadays, young individuals are becoming more sufferers of TMDs. With times various treatment modalities have been advocated. Botulinum toxin A is a neurotoxin which blocks the release of acetyl-choline at pre-synaptic vesicles in neuro-muscular junctions, making its action non functional and thus inhibiting muscular contraction. It is being used successfully in medical conditions like blepharospasm, bladder overactivity, etc., and its role in treatment of refractory cases TMDs are very promising.Biography
