Abstract

Dentists are showing an increasing inclination towards the utilization of Botox due to its ability to enhance the aesthetic results of dental procedures. The utilization of Botox aids in enhancing facial appearance, which complements dental treatments such as smile enhancements. Furthermore, the incorporation of Botox in dental practice enables dentists to offer a wider range of cosmetic services to their clientele. This surge in interest is also influenced by the opportunity to broaden their professional scope and cater to the growing demand for facial cosmetic interventions. Through acquiring proficiency in administering Botox, dentists are able to adopt a more holistic approach to facial aesthetics, a significant aspect of contemporary dentistry. The scholarly article authored by Mohamed and colleagues [1] explores the increasing interest within the dental community in utilizing Botox and dermal fillers for facial aesthetic enhancements, specifically driven by aesthetic dental purposes. It underscores the necessity of incorporating facial cosmetic procedures into the dental curriculum to equip aspiring dentists with the requisite skills for such treatments. The publication delves into the fundamental applications of Botox and dermal fillers in dentistry and scrutinizes the regulatory frameworks across various nations concerning their administration by dental professionals. It ultimately advocates for the training of dentists in cosmetic Botox and filler therapy, advocating for its integration into their educational programs to broaden their involvement in facial cosmetic interventions.
