About

Implant rehabilitation is a successful treatment option for edentulous patients. Decreasing bone loss around implants is an important target for all implantologists. It has been shown that pathological forces, such as bruxism, may in fact result in bone loss and eventual implant failure.

Botilinium Toxin is a material of many clinical uses. Beside its cosmetic applications, it has been used in the treatment of masseter muscle hypertrophy.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of botilinium toxin injection on biting forces, and its ultimate effect on peri-implant bone changes.
