Abstract
In this article we review the pharmacodynamics of commercially available preparations of botulinum toxin type A, and discuss the potential uses of the drug in smile modification. A major emphasis is placed on applications relevant to modern dental practice, and to the complications arising from its use. Botulinum toxin A, when applied correctly, is a safe and effective means of achieving aesthetic smile modification, with limited data on any demonstrable long-term adverse effects.Mesh:
