In this lecture, Dr. Roberts explains how the multiple mechanisms of action of Botulinum Toxin have an impact far beyond facial wrinkles and why a detailed understanding of the anatomy of the face and neck is paramount to successful therapeutic and aesthetic treatment. Learn how the secondary and tertiary mechanisms of action affect pain modulation and have a major impact on adjunctive therapy for TMD and headache treatment. Muscle relaxation of sensitive periodontal tissues with Botulinum Toxin prior to surgery can have a significant influence on implant success.
