Effects of Botulinum Toxin Injection on Masticatory Muscle Activity in Sleep Bruxism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Matteo Val, Anna Colonna, Laura Nykänen, Matteo Pollis

Short summary

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections into masticatory muscles significantly reduced EMG-detectable muscle activity in sleep bruxism patients by 0.70 to 1.31 standard deviations compared to placebo, but did not consistently reduce bruxism frequency as measured by questionnaires or clinical assessments.
