Lecture:
Meeting the Hot Demands of Our Patients; Venturing Beyond the
Orbicularis Oris “Facial Aesthetics Now & Future in Dental Practice-
Making a Difference”
For over decades, dentists have been treating patients within the oral cavity. We
have never looked beyond the Orbicularis Oris! A paradigm shift in the treatment
modalities have brought about a new dimension to venture beyond the usual areas.
Dentists are the authority in facial aesthetics, as they are adapted in various aspects
of facial restoration and well-versed in anatomy of human head and neck and a great
deal of musculatures, nerves and vessels.
Many of us think of Botox® primarily as a cosmetic treatment for lines and wrinkles
on the face, but the botulinum toxin that Botox® is derived from has a long history
of medically therapeutic uses such as in cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis, strabismus
and blepharospasm. Neurotoxins and Dermal Fillers are now been increasingly used
in dentistry as well, due to its therapeutic uses in treatment of certain oral conditions,
and have direct aesthetic consequences. As people ages, voids and ‘drop down’ of
facial tissues can be augmented/enhanced using fillers with very satisfactory result.
As demands for non-invasive treatment grows, it’s time to incorporate aesthetic
solutions into your practice! Meet your demanding patients’ needs by giving them
a safe and effective alternative to surgery that results in improved, younger look &
vibrant facial features.
