Neurotoxins in Private Practice: Clinical & Practical Realities

Treatment of parafunction is crucial to maximize the success of implant therapies, protect natural teeth, and extend the longevity of restorative therapies. Neurotoxin utilization, in conjunction with appropriate parafunctional and/or sleep appliances, is a key component of comprehensive care.

In addition to the above advantages, proper neurotoxin use improves treatment outcomes, and positively impacts patient quality of life through amelioration of muscle tension and headaches. We will discuss management of parafunction, muscle tension, and headaches, however, not all neurotoxin therapies are the same.  

Learn how neurotoxin use impacts all levels of care; from diagnosis, to surgical therapies & to long term success. Observe live neurotoxin therapies in a number of clinical scenarios.  Feel free to bring cases you would like to discuss.

In addition, you will gain a better understanding of the impact of neurotoxin use on practice success, and how to access patients' medical insurance.
