Abstract
Corresponding author: Racha Hajj Resident, Department of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry, Email: rahajj94@gmail.com Abstract: The aim of this article is to describe the new actions of botulinum toxin A for chronic pain treatment. BT/A inhibits the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing the pain mediators neurotransmitters, reduces the post traumatic trigeminal neuralgia pain, inhibits the release of microglia derived TNF-α as well as other pro inflammatory cytokines, viable treatment option in the case of patients who do not respond to conservative treatment methods of chronic pain (medication) BT/A is an emerging treatment for chronic pain; patients with severe chronic facial pain, not responding to conventional treatments, can respond to botulinum type a injections.
