Aplicabilidade da toxina botulínica e do ácido hialurônico para cirurgiões dentistas e efeitos adversos: uma revisão narrativa da literatura

Abstract

It is well known that dentistry has emphasized in its publications the importance of considering health together with patients' self-esteem when addressing problems holistically and not just as isolated clinical cases. There has been a significant inclusion of botulinum toxin type A (BTA) and hyaluronic acid (HA), not only in the field of self-image, but also in their functionality in various aspects of health. This review, based on research carried out in recognized databases, includes articles whose objective was to examine the applicability of BTA and HA while taking into account possible adverse effects. The methodology used was based on DeCS/MeSH, where the descriptors "aesthetic procedures" AND "dentistry" AND "Hyaluronic acid" AND "Botulinum Toxins Type A" were used in the Google Scholar database, and on the PUBMeD platform, with the use of the “free full text” filter, the descriptors were used: Hyaluronic Acid AND Botulinum Toxins, Type A and as a result, 66 articles were found, of which 15 were selected for the composition of this work. Thus, we sought to present, in the dental context, the preponderant role of these compounds. It can be concluded that both BT and HA stand out as valuable allies in orofacial harmonization. And, although both can present adverse effects, it is important to emphasize that these events are generally related to inexperience, lack of knowledge and inadequate application of the techniques. In short, TBA and AH, in Dentistry, aim to improve facial aesthetics with total commitment to the patient's health, given their diverse applications, aesthetics and functional.
