“…Moreover, Botox finds utility in dental aesthetics, as it can enhance smile aesthetics by targeting the muscles responsible for excessive gingival display or gummy smiles. Furthermore, it can aid therapeutic dental treatments by minimizing muscle contractions during orthodontic adjustments or prosthodontic rehabilitation procedures [13,14,17].…”

Hyaluronic Acid as a Mechanism to Mitigate the Effects of Face Lower Third Aging in Dentistry: A Review

et al. 2023

Aging can have a negative impact on the perioral region, affecting both appearance and self-esteem. Dentists offer various treatment options to address these changes, using surgical and non-surgical techniques. One such technique is facial filling with hyaluronic acid, a minimally invasive approach to improve the perioral region’s function and aesthetics and counteract aging effects. A literature review was conducted to collect scientific evidence on the subject, utilizing the mnemonic PI(C)O to refine the research question. The search for articles was accomplished on the EBSCOhost platform, specifically targeting those published between January 2009 and April 2023 in MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, and MedicLatina databases. Sixteen articles were carefully chosen, and the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method were followed throughout the process. The major findings reported in the selected articles suggest that using hyaluronic acid as a mechanism to mitigate the effects of face lower third aging following orofacial harmonization procedures in dentistry offers significant benefits to patients, improving the aesthetic appearance of the face, increasing patients’ self-esteem and satisfaction, and providing a better quality of life. Nevertheless, a weak evidence level was found in the selected articles due to methodological issues, highlighting the need to increase the methodological quality of future studies.

“…Additionally, fillers can enhance lip and perioral volume, allowing patients to achieve fuller and more youthful-looking lips and address fine lines and wrinkles in the surrounding areas. Overall, fillers are versatile in dentistry, contributing to functional [18] and cosmetic treatment approaches [17,19,20].…”

Botulinum neurotoxin has remarkably transitioned from a food safety hazard and biological warfare to an effective therapeutic drug. Currently, botulinum neurotoxins have seven serotypes (BoNT/A-G) in the form of protein complexes produced by Clostridium, a gram-positive and spore-forming bacteria. The conversion of toxins into useful drug substances of choice using the biotechnological process is tremendously increasing. Recent studies have shown that Botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT/A) has different biological activities and potencies in experimental and clinical conditions. They also indicate that the manufacturing process influences the potency and efficacy of BoNT/A drugs. Thus, this review focuses on the following criteria: detailed Fed-batch operation that includes the upstream and downstream processing of BoNT/A, the underlying mechanism behind the neurotoxic effect, and commercially available FDA-approved BoNT/A products and their therapeutic uses. Still, some research gaps exist in the mechanism for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Background: Dermal fillers augment soft tissues by replacing lost volume in the skin or subcutaneous fat. Dentists and other professionals utilize or recommend facial fillers for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. Aims: This study aims to investigate public awareness regarding using nonsurgical facial dermal fillers in Saudi Arabia. Methods and Material: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire distributed to a total of 400 males and females through social media platforms. The participants reside in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test were employed for data analysis. Results: A total of 256 participants completed the survey, including 204 females and 51 males, with a mean age of 33.86 (SD = 10.5) years. Among the participants, 88 (34.4%) reported using facial fillers. Among them, only 46 (18%) were frequent consumers. Knowledge regarding correctly using facial fillers was generally high, especially for the lips (240, 94%), chin augmentation (203, 79.3%), and face lifting (226, 88.3%). However, participants’ knowledge needed improvement in other areas. Most participants were aware of the side effects, except for visual impairment (83, 32.4%) and blockage of the vessels (128, 50%). Conclusions: The findings highlighted a remarkable level of knowledge among participants regarding the uses of fillers. However, participants demonstrated low awareness of all possible side effects associated with the treatment. Participants had valid reasons for undergoing facial treatments. However, constraints preventing them from pursuing fillers included fear of unexpected results and financial limitations.
