Abstract
Sugammadex, a selective relaxant binding agent, has transformed the management of neuromuscular blockade, offering rapid and safe recovery during various medical and dental procedures. Its applications extend to managing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in elderly patients undergoing complex oral rehabilitation. The integration of sugammadex into multidisciplinary treatment protocols—including prosthetic rehabilitation, balneophysiotherapy, and pharmacological therapies—has the potential to improve outcomes significantly. This review examines the pharmacological impact of sugammadex, its commercial formulations, and its role in the holistic management of TMDs in geriatric populations
