Dental trismus is defined by difficulty in opening the jaw. It is a temporary condition that usually lasts no more than two weeks. Dental trismus is caused by an injury to the masticatory muscles, such as opening the jaw for an extended period of time or having a needle pass through a muscle.
Also if the needle is placed too medially the medial pterygoid muscle can be injected, resulting in trismus. The sphenomandibular ligament may act as a barrier to the agent if the injection is given too shallow and the lingual nerve is only anesthetized. [3] This injection can rarely cause needle tract infections of the pterygomandibular space.
‘The risk of MRONJ after dental extraction was significantly higher in patients treated with ARD (antiresorptive drugs) for oncological reasons (3.2%) than in those treated with ARD for OP (osteoporosis) (0.15%) (p < 0.0001). Dental extraction performed with adjusted extraction protocols decreased MRONJ development significantly.
Dental anaesthesia can present with many complications such as occlusal complications. There are many forms of dental anaesthesia that can cause these issues for example an Inferior Dental Block (IDB). Most commonly, ocular complications will present on the same side of the face where the injection was given.
Platelet-rich fibrin injection, alone or associated with arthrocentesis, can be considered a very suitable. [75] Botulinum toxin solution ("Botox") is sometimes used to treat TMD. [76] Injection of botox into the lateral pterygoid muscle has been investigated in multiple randomized control trials, and there is evidence that it is of benefit in ...
Scientists have proven that intralesional injection of autologous bone marrow stem cells is a safe and effective treatment modality in oral submucosal fibrosis. It has been shown autologous bone marrow stem cell injections induces angiogenesis in the lesion area, which in turn decreases the extent of fibrosis, thereby leading to significant ...
Trismus (difficulty opening the mouth), which may be present in some cases and is caused by edema in the muscles. Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), which may be present in some cases and is caused by edema in the muscles. Cervical lymphadenitis (swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck).
[2] [5] It is given by injection. [6] Side effects are common and include loss of appetite, nausea, muscle pains, headache, and feeling tired. [2] [5] Serious side effect may include an irregular heartbeat or pancreatitis. [5] Sodium stibogluconate is less safe than some other options during pregnancy. [2]
