Botulinum toxin for masseter hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND Benign masseter muscle hypertrophy is an uncommon clinical phenomenon of uncertain aetiology which is characterised by a soft swelling near the angle of the mandible. The swelling may on occasion be associated with facial pain and can be prominent enough to be considered cosmetically disfiguring. Varying degrees of success have been reported for some of the treatment options for mass...
متن کاملElectromyography-Guided Botulinum Toxin Injection Into the Cricothyroid Muscles in Bilateral Vocal Fold Abductor Paralysis
OBJECTIVES Bilateral vocal fold abductor paralysis (BVFAP) both deteriorates quality of life and may cause life-threatening respiratory problems. The aim of this study was to reduce respiratory symptoms in BVFAP patients using cricothyroid (CT) botulinum toxin (BTX) injection. METHODS Before and 2 weeks and 4 months after bilateral BTX injection into the CT muscles under electromyography; alt...

In this experiment, 9 partents with adductor spasmodic dysphonia (SPD) were studicd and injected percutaneously the Bonlinum toxin with dose of inje...
متن کاملCorrection of Malocclusion by Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection into Masticatory Muscles
Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxin, and its injection in masticatory muscles induces muscle weakness and paralysis. This paralytic effect of BTX induces growth retardation of the maxillofacial bones, changes in dental eruption and occlusion state, and facial asymmetry. Using masticatory muscle paralysis and its effect via BTX, BTX can be used for the correction of malocclusion after orthogna...
متن کاملEffects of a botulinum toxin type A injection on the masseter muscle: An animal model study
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in the masseter muscle using electromyography (EMG) in an animal model. METHODS Ten male adult (>3 months of age) New Zealand white rabbits were used. Muscle activity was continuously recorded from 8 hours before to 8 hours after BTX-A injection. The rabbits received unilateral BTX-A i...
