According to a
study published
in the November
issue of the
Journal of Oral
and Maxillofacial
Surgery,
botulinum toxin A
injections also
may have
pain-relieving
properties.
B
otox therapy can provide significant relief with only a mild risk
for negative effects to patients
with stubborn pain in the muscles involved in chewing, according to a
new retrospective study.
Chemically known as botulinum toxin
A, Botox is a protein made from bacteria
that, when injected, stops nerve signals
that command muscles to contract – resulting in a months-long decrease in
muscle activity. It has been used to treat
conditions such as muscle spasms, facial
wrinkles, migraines and excessive sweating.
According to the study published in the
November issue of the Journal of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery — the oficial journal of the American Association of Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) —
botulinum toxin A injections also may
have pain-relieving properties.
To determine the therapy’s safety and
effectiveness in treating stubborn jaw
muscle pain, researchers conducted a
retrospective review of 116 patients. The
patients underwent at least two Botox
injection cycles for refractory masticatory myalgia —pain in the muscles used
for chewing — that had not responded to
other therapies.
The patients at the Department of Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital also had coexisting chronic pain disorders and were
receiving other therapies and/or taking
medications.
Nearly one-third of participants (30.6
percent) reported signiicant pain relief
— deined as 75 percent or greater — for
an average of 10.1 weeks.
“This is an important outcome for this
particular cohort of participants, considering that 72.9 percent of the participants
had been in pain for at least ive years,
with 60 percent or more receiving two or
more concurrent therapies,” researchers
“ AAOMS, Page A1
programs include:
• Didactic sessions and hands-on workshops on topics such as implant restorations and case-based dental implant
techniques.
• Point/counterpoint discussions exploring clinically common topics, such
as implant options when treating the
lower jaw.
• Question-and-answer sessions with
the session speakers.
• Faculty relecting on the history of
AAOMS and the specialty while assessing the future of oral and maxillofacial
surgery, as the association gets ready to
celebrate its centennial in 2018.
• New this year, a live simulcast option

wrote.
In addition, 39.8 percent of participants
had moderate relief for 8.7 weeks on average, and 29.6 percent had no or minimal
relief for 1.3 weeks on average.
Among the participants, 16.4 percent
reported at least one negative effect during the two injection cycles. Those who
had signiicant pain relief had the largest
number of adverse effects at 30.3 percent.
The most common side effect was a
decrease in the size of the masticatory
muscle, possibly due to blocked release
of a chemical that activates muscles, the
study states. However, all of the negative
effects were minor and brief, and full recovery occurred within 16 weeks.
Simultaneous use of opioid pain relievers was a predictor of no or minimal relief. Of the participants, 36 percent were
using a long-term opioid therapy. Longterm opioid use can result in opioidinduced hyperalgesia — a painful response to the medications — and having
chronic pain disorders can lead to diminished effect of pain relievers, researchers
wrote. “Together, these factors may result
in poor outcome and response to therapy,” they said.

“As AAOMS offers its 25th Dental Implant Conference, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, their staff and referring
dentists can participate in a range of
preconference sessions and educational programs geared toward the dental
implant practice,” said AAOMS President Brett L. Ferguson, DDS, FACS. “After three days of focused courses and
exhibits, doctors and their staff can
enhance their practices with renewed
knowledge. We look forward to collectively learning the innovations and
groundbreaking research in the ield of
dental implants.”

and peri-implant diseases and conditions
By AAP Staff
The World
Workshop on
the Classiication
of Periodontal
and Peri-Implant
Diseases and
Conditions took
place Nov. 9-11
in Chicago.
I
n conjunction with the European
Federation of Periodontology (EFP),
the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) hosted the World Workshop on the Classiication of Periodontal
and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions Nov. 9-11 at the Gleacher Center in
Chicago. More than 100 international researchers, educators and clinicians gathered to review the latest literature and
come to consensus on up-to-date guidelines for periodontal and peri-implant
disease diagnosis and deinition.
Participants conducted literature reviews, established case deinitions and
deliberated diagnostic considerations
for the following topic areas: periodontal
health and gingival diseases and conditions; periodontitis; developmental and
acquired conditions and periodontal
manifestations of systemic conditions;
and peri-implant diseases and conditions. The inclusion of peri-implant diseases and conditions within periodontal

disease classiications is a irst, accommodating for what scientists and practitioners have come to understand about
implant dentistry.
“Since the last World Workshop was
held in 1999, periodontics has made notable advancements in the treatment and
diagnosis of periodontal disease. The 2017
workshop intended to account for what
we’ve learned in the last 18 years and help
standardize the specialty’s deinition of
disease,” says Dr. Steven R. Daniel, president of the AAP. “Our collaboration with
the EFP and periodontists from all over
the world will work to positively shape
the quality of patient care globally.”
The 2017 World Workshop is the second
recent collaboration of the EFP and AAP.
The groups’ joint workshop on periodontitis and systemic disease in 2012 was a
major milestone in the specialty’s understanding of the perio-systemic link.
“After three years of preparation, it was
rewarding to see many of the best and
brightest in periodontics convene to accomplish the important task of updating and standardizing the deinitions of
periodontal and peri-implant diseases
that will be used by dental professionals
around the world. The contributions of
the workshop’s expert participants will
set the stage for periodontics’ expansive
future,” said Dr. Jack Caton, co-chair of
the event’s organizing committee.
Proceedings from the 2017 World Workshop on Periodontal Disease Classiication will be published in both the AAP’s
Journal of Periodontology and the EFP’s
Journal of Clinical Periodontology in
2018.
About the AAP
The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) represents more than 8,000
periodontists — specialists in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of inlammatory diseases affecting the gums and
