Botulinum Toxin Level I
Course Overview: Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin widely used in dental, medical and cosmetic treatments. It is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles to treat and control a number of unwanted consequences from muscle activity, like hypertrophy, stiffness, hyperactivity, etc.
In this course, dentists will be introduced to botulinum toxin and learn the concepts and features that make this product a great resource into the dental practice.
Course Objectives and Description: This course is designed for dentists who have no experience with the use of botulinum toxin. In this course, dentists will learn how to introduce the use of botulinum toxin into the daily practice; both as a diagnostic tool and as a therapeutic resource.
By the end of this course, dentists will be able to:
- Identify and determine if muscle activity may be interfering with the treatment plan
- Use botulinum toxin as a differential diagnose tool
- Introduce botulinum toxin adequately into the treatment plan
- Perform the application of botulinum toxin for basic procedures
By the end of this course, the dentists should be able to treat:
- Gummy smile
- Radial lip lines
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Lateral cantonal lines/radial lines (Crow's feet)
- Glabellar lines
- Complications
Course Outline:
This course is composed of theory lecture followed by a laboratory session.
The lecture will cover the following:
- Introduction
- Neurophysiology
- Anatomy
- Materials and reconstitution
- Application sites and techniques
- Adverse reactions
- Clinical cases
At the laboratory, dentists will practice all techniques covered during the lecture on fresh frozen cadavers and will use water and pigment for this session. Anatomical dissection will follow the practical session with the purpose to reassure the learning process for the techniques approached.
