title: Oromandibular dystonia: a clinical report.
abstract: Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) consists of prolonged spasms caused by contraction of the muscles of the mouth and mandible and involves the muscles of mastication, facial expression, tongue, and eye lids. A multidisciplinary treatment approach is presented including the fabrication of a dental prosthesis to reduce/eliminate the symptoms of OMD. Etiology and treatment issues are discussed, emphasizing the importance of an interdisciplinary treatment approach.
