Botulinum toxin (BT) is a protein extracted from the bacterium Clostridium and dermal fillers (DF) are injectable soft tissue. Both are widely used for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. Nowadays many healthcare professionals including dentists are using them in their practice. To assess and evaluate if dentists can do BT and DF in their practice and to determine if training is crucial for dentists before they apply BT and DF in their practice. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia in 2019. A self-administered questionnaire, which includes 25 questions, was distributed randomly to dentists. The participants answered questions related to their main demographic data, their opinion of who should practice BTX and DF injections, and their experience regarding these procedures. Nearly 71% of participants support the practice of BT and DF in dentistry and most of them find training is crucial before using them. It can be concluded that dentists can use BT and DF only if they are trained and this practice should be safeguarded by local authorities to ensure patients’ wellbeing and prevent malpractice.
