Oromandibular dystonia after dental treatments: a report of two cases

چکیده
J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:379-83) Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a rare focal form of dystonia caused by prolonged muscles spasms in the mouth, face, and jaw. OMD can develop after dental treatment, as poorly aligned dentures or multiple tooth extraction may cause an impairment of proprioception in the oral cavity, leading to the subsequent development of dystonia. These repetitive involuntary jaw movements may interfere with chewing, swallowing, and speaking. We report here two cases of OMD after dental procedures.

متن کاملTwo cases of oromandibular dystonia referred as temporomandibular joint disorder
Oromandibular dystonia is thought to originate from a dysregulation of centrally mediated movement, whereby repetitive or sustained spasms of the masticatory, facial, or lingual muscles result in involuntary, and possibly painful jaw movement. Here we present 2 unique cases of oromandibular dystonia referred as temporomandibular joint disorders.
متن کاملPeripherally induced oromandibular dystonia.
OBJECTIVES Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a focal dystonia manifested by involuntary muscle contractions producing repetitive, patterned mouth, jaw, and tongue movements. Dystonia is usually idiopathic (primary), but in some cases it follows peripheral injury. Peripherally induced cervical and limb dystonia is well recognised, and the aim of this study was to characterise peripherally induced ...
