ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how a treatment called botulinum neurotoxin might help people who grind their teeth (a condition known as bruxism) and have experienced some wear on their teeth. The researchers want to see if this treatment can change the way the jaw and neck move, which could be beneficial for those with tooth wear. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and anyone aged 9 years or older may be eligible, as long as they have some tooth wear into the dentin (the layer under the outer enamel of the teeth).

To participate, you should not have any issues with your jaw joint (temporomandibular pathology), be taking medications that affect the brain, or have any conditions that impact your muscles or nervous system. If you join the trial, you can expect to receive the botulinum neurotoxin treatment and be monitored for its effects. This study is important because it could lead to new ways to help people suffering from bruxism and tooth wear, improving their quality of life.
