Botulinum toxin is a highly toxic neurotoxin produced by anaerobic bacteria clostridium botulinum which causes a fatal disease called botulism. Presently it is finding its place in the therapeutic needs of medical and dental fields. With the ever-increasing popularity of nonsurgical enhancement and an increasing number of patients who have been treated, the demand for fillers continues to rise. Botox and dermal fillers are here to stay and with more and more intra oral uses of these materials, they are fast becoming an integral part of everyday dental practice including restorative, aesthetic, periodontal, orthodontic and prosthodontics implications. They provide patients with most significant, predictable, minimally invasive, aesthetic and therapeutic outcomes available for many everyday clinical situations.
