Action: inhibits release of Acetylcholine at neuromuscular junction. Purified botulinum toxin Type A produced from C. botulinum.
Uses: reduces excessive abnormal contraction associated with strabismus (crossed eyes) and blepharospasm (closure of upper eyelids). Long acting. Used for cosmetic surgery to combat wrinkles, injected locally around the eye.
Doses: amounts injected into muscles do not cause systemic effects (1.2-5.0 units per muscle).
Botox or Oculinum injections have no dental consequences to us. No systemic effects because they are injected locally only.
