Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is an uncommon focal neurological condition affecting the jaws, face, and mouth.

[5] Impaired mastication, dysphagia, dysphonia (alteration of speech), mandibular disorders (TMD) such as open locks, unconscious mandibular opening and closing, and pulling and twisting of the mandible forward or laterally are examples of dysfunctions.

[6] Most of the time, it is reported that poor oral function is linked to social embarrassment, a lower quality of life, depression, and weight loss.

Although there have been several reports of OMD cases following dental work, it is still unknown whether these procedures are linked to the onset of dystonic symptoms.

[18][19][20] Because OMD can manifest in a variety of ways and to varying degrees, diagnosing it is a clinical and challenging process.

[21] Nonetheless, lithium, levodopa, dopamine receptor antagonists, carbamazepine, anticonvulsants, antiparkinson drugs, benzodiazepines, baclofen, and anticholinergic are a few of the medications used to treat OMD.
