Management of Edentulous Orofacial Dyskinesia

Abstract: Edentulous orofacial dyskinesia is a rare condition, characterized by involuntary rhythmic movements of the mandible and presents an embarrassing situation for the patient. Edentulism has been considered as one of the proponents of these irregular movements, and rehabilitation of these patients with complete denture-fabrication using traditional technique restores the masticatory inefficiency and the esthetic component of the patient. Surprisingly, these movements disappear during the clinical steps of complet… Show more

“…Compared to other forms of post-traumatic OMD, functional disability is usually minimal in patients with edentulous dyskinesia [57,58]. It is essential to be familiar with edentulous dyskinesia as the symptoms may potentially improve with restoration procedures or fitting dentures [59]. The phenomenology of edentulous dyskinesia often overlaps with that of tardive dyskinesia [60].…”
