Abstract

Background: Neuromuscular diseases are a group of disorders affecting the body’s muscles and nerves, often leading to muscle weakness, which is the most common clinical feature. These conditions interfere with the body’s adaptive systems, reducing overall functional capacity. Objectives: This article aims to provide a brief review of some common neuromuscular disorders, highlighting their clinical manifestations and their implications for oral health, particularly within the oral and maxillofacial region. Results: Neuromuscular disorders present with varying degrees of muscle weakness and dysfunction, which can significantly affect oral and maxillofacial structures. These may include difficulties in mastication, swallowing, speech, and maintaining oral hygiene, thereby increasing the risk of oral health complications. Conclusion: Understanding the manifestations of neuromuscular diseases is essential for early recognition and comprehensive management in dental practice. Special attention is required to address oral health challenges in affected patients, ensuring improved quality of care.
