A large number of Neuromuscular disorders have their manifestations in the oral and maxillofacial region. Oral physicians come across abnormalities in the dentition, soft tissues and occlusion caused by these disorders during the intra-oral and extra-oral examination. Also, patients with Neuromuscular disorders need to be treated with special precautions during dental treatment. Since a dental practitioner plays an important role in the early diagnosis and management of these conditions, this review aims to provide concise and relevant information about Neuromuscular disorders affecting the
