A dyskinesia is a permanent disorder consisting of compulsory movements of the tongue, lips and facial muscles. Dyskinesias of other parts of the body are also known. They improve the diagnosis and treatment in dentistry and oral surgery. The aim of the study is to present cases of dyskinesia manifesting as involuntary movements and their treatment. Dyskinesias of various body parts accompanying Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, Down syndrome, Joubert's syndrome, arteriosclerosis, cerebral palsy, and tetanus are discussed.
