Are there any hospitals that are working on a multidisciplinary team approach for involuntary movements in the orofacial region such as oromandibular dystonia?
I mean, the multidisciplinary team approach is a collaboration between medical specialists (neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, otolaryngologists) and dental specialists (dentists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists) for diagnosis and treatment.
Dear Dr. Bhogaraju Anand,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I know there are hospitals, centers or departments of movement disorders in Europe or Amerika. In your reply, I know that India has a similar center dedicated to movement disorders. Do dentists or oral surgeons work in the center? Does the center offer conferences on a multidisciplinary team and dental treatments (splints) and oral surgical treatments (coronoidotomy) for cases in need?

Dear Dr. Bhogaraju Anand,
Thank you very much for your valuable information. Unfortunately, it is unclear whether dental specialists participate in the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders as a multidisciplinary team approach.
Vast majority of the literatures on oromandibular dystonia is published mainly by medical specialists such as neurologists. Although I think a collaboration between medical and dental specialists must be necessary for diagnosis and treatment, there are very few reports of collaboration with dental professionals.
Best regards,
