Full textAbstract: The occlusal splints can be fabricated by many techniques and the acrylic resin is the main material used for this propose. The splints can be easily facture or worn because they are subjected to different kinds of forces during a long period in the oral cavity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength and Knoop microhardness of a conventional heat-polymerized and an autopolymerized acrylic resin used to fabricate occlusal splints, varying the processing laboratorial techniques. Sixty specimens were manufactured and divided in 6 groups (GI, GII, GIII, GIV, GV, GVI) according to the type of the resin and the processing technique used. GI and GII were manufactured with conventional heatpolymerized acrylic resin (Clássico). GI was hot-water-bath polymerized and GII was microwave polymerized. GIII, GIV and GV specimens were fabricated using an autopolymerized acrylic resin (Jet). GIII was polymerized in air condition (23 l 2oC), GIV under 2kgf/cm2 pressure and in water at 40°C, and GV under the same pressure and temperature at dry condition. The GVI specimens were manufactured using autopolymerized acrylic resin and acetate sheet, polymerized in water at 40°C. The resin specimens were broken using a 3-point load on a testing machine. A ANOVA and Tukey test were performed to identify significant differences (a = .05). Knoop microhardness values were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test (a = .05). GII and GIII showed, respectively, the highest and the lowest significantly values of strength comparing with the other groups. GI and GII, manufactured with conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin showed similar strength (p > .05). GIV, V e VI showed similar values between them, however they were stronger than GIII (p < .05). GII showed the highest significantly values of microhardness even when compared to GI.

Full textThe cyclic persistence of loads in the cervical region of the teeth caused by parafunctions and the presence of occlusal interference can trigger the abfraction lesions, with the severity of injury related to the number of involved forces and interactions with oral environment. The occlusal splints are intraoral device that when properly made reduce non-axial loads to teeth protecting them, can be a conservative treatment option in controlling progression of abfraction injuries, but little studied. Thus, the objective of the present study was to clinically evaluate the influence of the occlusal splint on the progression of abfraction lesions over 1 year. Thirty-four volunteers (mean age 38 years) were selected according to the 3 study groups: Group 1 control - individuals (without TMD and parafunction) with only 2 abfraction lesions isolated in the buccal region of the teeth that do not require occlusal splint. Group 2 with splint - with at least 2 abfraction lesions in the buccal region of the teeth, with Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD). Group 3 with splint - individuals with multiple abfraction lesions, but without signs and symptoms of TMD, which may have the presence of generalized dental wear by the habit of grinding teeth. Information on the presence of centric occlusion, presence of prematurity, occlusal interference, pattern of dislocation in laterality and protrusion movements, prevalence of abfraction lesion, presence of tightening and / or grinding of teeth and dental wear were Annotated and analyzed for frequency.. Initially the abfraction lesions were molded with addition silicone, in groups 2 and 3 the occlusal splint were fitted and adjusted. The individuals were evaluated at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the beginning of the treatment to follow the progression of the lesions through molding of the lesions. The molds were filled with epoxy resin and the models were analyzed in a 3D laser confocal microscope and by means of software the wear profile was analyzed. Regarding the occlusal aspect was observed in a centric relation, a high presence of premature contacts, low presence of occlusal interference in laterality and protrusion, high presence of tightening and grinding in groups 2 and 3, and an equivalence between The lateral occlusion guides. The premolar teeth and the upper arch were the most affected with the abfraction lesions. The comparison of the data regarding the progression of the lesions performed between the 3 groups after the 12 months showed a statistically significant difference, finding in a period of 1 year a greater evolution of the lesions of the control group compared to the groups that used the splint (p < 0.05). In relation to the different times analyzed, there was a non-significant increase for the different time periods, and after 12 months presented statistically different from the initial one (p <0.05). The myorelaxing splint influenced the progression of the abfraction lesions, promoting a decrease in the evolution of the lesion, but not its paralysis.

Resumo: Este estudo avaliou a evolução clínica dos sinais e sintomas otológicos relatados por 25 voluntários, com predominância para o gênero feminino, pertencentes ao banco de pacientes do serviço de otorrinolaringologia do ambulatório "Araújo Lima", da Universidade Federal do Amazonas, com idade média de 46,7 anos, portadores de disfunção temporomandibular (DTM), tratados com aparelhos oclusais lisos e planos. Transtornos otorrinolaringológicos agudos ou crônicos de origem médica foram fatores de exclusão. Em cada voluntário, antes e após o período de tratamento, foram realizadas tomadas radiográficas transcranianas oblíquas bilaterais das articulações temporomandibulares (ATMs) e exames audiométricos. A otalgia relatada foi mensurada com uma escala visual analógica (EVA) modificada. A cefaléia, tonteira, zumbido nos ouvidos, sensação de surdez e prurido nos ouvidos obtiveram remissão estatisticamente significante após o tratamento. A otalgia aos 90 dias de tratamento apresentou remissão total em 72% da amostra. As radiografias transcranianas antes e após o tratamento mostraram mudança da posição das cabeças da mandíbula nas fossas mandibulares em abertura máxima. Os exames audiométricos mostraram resultados normais e sem modificação após tratamento. Concluiu-se que o tratamento foi efetivo na remissão dos sinais e sintomas otológicos e a EVA modificada foi um instrumento eficiente na mensuração da otalgia
Abstract: The aim of this study was to report aural signs and symptoms on 25 volunteers, mainly female, whose mean age was 46,7 years, with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD), originary from the otorhinolaryngological outpatient service in "Araújo Lima" clinical facilities, Universidade Federal do Amazonas, treated with flat occlusal splints. Acute or chronic otorrhinolaryngological diseases caused exclusion of volunteers from the study. From each volunteer bilateral transcranial temporomandibular joints (TMJ) radiographs and audiometric tests were obtained before and after intervention. Reported aural discomfort was accessed with a modified Visual Analogical Scale (VAS). Headache, dizziness, buzzing on the ears, deafness sensation and itching in the ears were reported to statistically decrease after intervention. Otalgia was reported to disappear after 90 days of treatment in 72% of volunteers. Post-treatment transcranial radiographs revealed changes in condilar position when mouth was maximally open. Audiometric tests produced normal results, with no changes after treatment. It was concluded that the intervention was effective, reducing signs and symptoms of aural origin, and the modified VAS was an effective instrument to access otalgia

Resumo: Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o comportamento da atividade eletromiográfica durante a função mastigatória, em pacientes portadores de alterações funcionais do sistema estomatognático, submetidos à terapia por meio de aparelhos interoclusais planos. Para a realização das avaliações eletromiográficas foi utilizado o sistema de diagnóstico computadorizado K6 - I DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (Myo-Tronics, Inc.; Tukwila, W.A.; USA). Foram examinados e tratados vinte voluntários, com idade entre 18 e 53 anos, de ambos os sexos. As avaliações eletromiográficas para a verificação da atividade elétrica dos músculos masseter e temporal fascículo anterior, foram realizadas antes do tratamento e após 90, 120, e 150 dias de utilização dos aparelhos interoclusais planos, sendo que estes aparelhos receberam modificações nos dias 90 (guia em canino) e 120 (guia em grupo) respectivamente. Os dados coletados de cada fase do estudo foram submetidos a uma análise estatística através de um modelo de egressão linear simples. Após análise dos resultados obtidos, não se observou diferenças estatisticamente significativas para as três fases do estudo (p>0,05), porém pode-se observar que a atividade eletromiográfica dos músculos masseter e temporal anterior, tenderam ao equilíbrio bilateral no decorrer do tratamento

Full textAs placas interoclusais podem ser confeccionadas por meio de várias técnicas, sendo a resina acrílica o material de escolha mais difundido atualmente. Devido ao fato de as placas serem submetidas a diferentes tipos de forças por um longoperíodo no interior da cavidade bucal, estas podem fraturar-se ou desgastar-se com facilidade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar e comparar, por meio de ensaio de resistência à flexão e teste de microdureza Knoop, o comportamento das resinas acrílicas térmica e quimicamente ativadas utilizadas na confecção de placas interoclusais, variando-se as técnicas de confecção e processamento. Para tanto, foram confeccionados 60 espécimes divididos em seis grupos (GI, GII, GIII, GIV, GV, GVI), de acordo com o tipo de resina e técnica de processamento utilizadas. Os grupos GI e GII utilizaram resina acrílica termopolimerizável convencional (Clássico), sendo o GI polimerizado em banho de água quente e o GII pela energia de microondas. Para os grupos GIII, GIV, GV e GVI, utilizou-se resina acrílica autopolimerizável (Jet) e as seguintes técnicas de processamento: GIII) polimerização em condição ambiente (23 l 2oC), GIV) sob pressão de 2kgf/cm2 e água a 40°C, GV) sob a mesma pressão e temperatura a seco e GVI) associação de placa de acetato e polimerização em água a 40°C. Após ensaio de flexão, os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância, complementada pelo teste de Tukey (a = 0,05). Para os valores de microdureza, estes foram submetidos ao teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis (a = 0,05). Verificou-se que GII e GIII apresentaram, respectivamente, os maiores e menores valores de resistência à flexão em relação aos demais grupos. GI e GII apresentaram valores semelhantes de resistência à flexão (p > 0,05). GIV, V e VI não apresentaram diferença significante entre si (p > 0,05), porém foram estatisticamente superiores ao GIII (p < 0,05).

Resumo: A participação de fatores psicológicos nas desordens temporomandibulares (DTM), como depressão, ansiedade, estresse, têm sido enfatizados na literatura. Pesquisadores têm relatado em trabalhos com pacientes portadores de sintomatologia crônica, a presença desses (chamados distúrbios psiquiátricos menores); porém, ainda não há um consenso sobre a influência destes na manifestação clínica desta patologia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a evolução da manifestação dos distúrbios psiquiátricos menores em pacientes portadores de DTM, tratados com aparelhos de superfície oclusal plana e reabilitação oral. Foram selecionados 60 pacientes, do Curso de Especialização em Prótese Dental da Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba, portadores de DTM e com necessidade de reabilitação protética. Os voluntários foram subdivididos em dois grupos: controle e tratado; sendo que respectivamente, o primeiro não recebeu tratamento e o segundo recebeu tratamento com aparelhos de superfície oclusal plana e reabilitação oral. Todos os voluntários do grupo tratado foram submetidos ao questionário anamnésico que faz parte da ficha clínica do CETASE e às avaliações psicológicas contidas no Questionário de Saúde Geral de Goldberg (QSG), antes e após o período de tratamento; os voluntários do grupo controle foram submetidos à mesma avaliação psicológica do grupo anterior; entretanto, como não recebeu tratamento, estabelecemos duas avaliações, uma antes e outra após 20 meses, conjuntamente ao grupo que recebeu tratamento. Os resultados revelaram que houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes para as variáveis estresse psíquico (SP) e distúrbios psicossomáticos (DP) no grupo tratado para o sexo feminino. Neste mesmo grupo, nos pacientes do sexo masculino, verificaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significantes para as variáveis distúrbios psicossomáticos (DP) e saúde geral (SG). Conclui-se que a terapêutica utilizada interferiu positivamente na incidência dos distúrbios psiquiátricos menores, em pacientes portadores de DTM
Abstract: The role of psychological factors in the temporomandibular disorders (TMD), like depression, anxiety, stress have been emphatic in the literature. Many authors have been related on their patients with cronic sintomatic the presence of these factors (called minor psychiatric disturbances); however, there isn't agreement about the influence of these factors on the TMD. The aim of this study is to verify the evolution of the prevalence about the minor psychiatric disturbances in patients with TMD, treated using occlusal plane splints and oral rehabilitation. It was selected 60 patients, who were voluntarily seeking for dental treatment at the Piracicaba Dentistry Scholl-UNICAMP with TMD diagnostic and needed oral rehabilitation. The volunteers were divided into two groups equality: control and treated group. The control group didn't received any kind of treatment and the treated group was treated with occlusal plane splints and oral rehabilitation. All the volunteers were submitted to an anamnesic questionnaire that is part of the clinical index of Treatment Center (CETASE- FOP/UNICAMP). The questionnaire includes a patient spontaneous discription and direct questions related to TMJ, masticatory muscles and unespecific relates. After the anamnesic questionnaire the patients were submitted to the GHQ (General Health Questionnaire), that evaluates the absence of non psychotic disturbances psychiatry (minor psychiatric disturbances), after the treatment both groups were submitted to both questionaires again (20 months after the first aplication). The results showed significant differences to psychic stress and psychosomatic disturbances in the treated group, female sex and psychosomatic disturbances and general health to male sex. The conclusions of this study, based on the obtained results is that the treatment interfered positively on the incidence of minor psychiatric disturbances in patients with TMD

Full textThe use of stabilization occlusal splints for Sleep Bruxism (SB) control is a very common practice among Dentists. However many professionals use this therapy without evaluating the possibility of their patients having, or developing other associated sleep disorders, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This syndrome affects the quality of life, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease as well as traffic accidents. In addition, studies suggest that the use of occlusal splints may make OSA worse, once mandibular retrusion and decrease of tongue space may occur. Since literature is inconclusive and the clinical question remains, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects over sleep of 11 OSA patients when using an occlusal stabilization splint for at least 2 months. Therefore, questionnaires such as Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), in addition to polysomnography (PSG) were performed before, and during, splints use. Patients\' average age was 47 years old (33±61) and 63.6% were male. The questionnaire results revealed no significant difference for the two stages of analysis. However, polysomnographic data showed an increase in the apnea-hypopnea index (16.6 to 28.32 events per hour, p = 0.003) and respiratory disorders Index (20.14 to 33.96 events per hour, p = 0.003) when patients were using the occlusal splints. It was also observed a decrease of minimum oxyhemoglobin desaturation (85.55 to 79.36, P = 0.026) and an increase in saturation time below 90%, measured in minutes (from 1.43 to 3.98; p = 0.025). It was concluded that the use of occlusal splints for a period of 2 months in patients with OSA may be associated to aggravation of such disorder.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a atividade eletromiográfica dos músculos supra-hioideos, esternocleidomastoideo e trapézio em 15 voluntários desdentados totais, com dimensão vertical de oclusão (DVO) baixa, portadores de disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) e tratados com aparelhos oclusais planos. Foram submetidos ao exame clinico, de acordo com o protocolo clínico do CETASE (Centro de Estudos e Tratamento das Alterações Funcionais do Sistema Estomatognático) da FOP - Unicamp, e a exames radiográficos complementares. As avaliações eletromiográficas foram realizadas simultânea e bilateralmente, no período inicial e aos 30, 60 e 90 dias de tratamento, com a mandíbula nas posições de repouso e fechamento isométrico com resistência. Os resultados obtidos foram avaliados pelos testes t de Student e pela Correlação de Spearman. Na situação de repouso houve um aumento significante na atividade eletromiográfica do músculo esternocleidomastoideo direito, quando comparados os períodos inicial e após 60 e 90 dias (p=0,03), e nos músculos trapézio médio direito após 60 dias (p=0,03), e esquerdo, após 90 dias de tratamento (p=0,04). Na situação de fechamento isométrico com resistência resultados significantes foram encontrados pelo teste t para as atividades eletromiográficas dos músculos suprahioideos direito (p=0,04) e trapézio médio direito (p=0,04) e esquerdo (p=0,02), após 90 dias de tratamento. Uma correlação significante pôde ser observada quando comparamos bilateralmente todos os músculos avaliados, nas duas situações (p<0,05). Após a terapia com aparelhos oclusais planos ocorreu uma equalização funcional significativa na atividade eletromiográfica dos músculos cervicais e supra-hioideos, podendo sugerir que a alteração na posição mandibular influencia na atividade elétrica dos músculos cervicais
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the electromyographic activity of the suprahyoid, sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles in 15 edentulous volunteers, with a low vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and treated with plan occlusal splints. Patients were undergone to clinical examination, according to the clinical protocol of CETASE (Functional Stomatognathic Disorders Study Center) FOP - Unicamp, and additional radiographic exams. Electromyographic evaluations were performed simultaneously and bilateral, before the beginning of the treatment and at 30, 60 and 90 days of treatment, with the jaw at rest position and isometric closure with resistance. The results were evaluated by Student's t-test and Spearman's correlation. In the resting position there was a significant increase in EMG activity of right sternocleidomastoid muscle comparing to the beginning and after 60 and 90 days of treatment (p=0.03), and in right middle trapezius after 60 days of treatment (p=0.03), and left after 90 days of treatment (p=0.04). Relating to isometric closure with resistance significant results were found by t-test for the electromyographic activity of the right suprahyoid muscles (p=0.04) and right (p=0.04) and left middle trapezius (p=0.02) at 90 days after treatment. A significant correlation was observed when comparing bilaterally all muscles in both conditions (p<0.05). After the plan occlusal splint therapy, there was a significant functional equalization of the electromyographic activity of neck and suprahyoid muscles, suggesting that changes in mandible position can influence the electrical activity of cervical muscles

Resumo: O bruxismo é assunto de intensa investigação na área odontológica e está correlacionado a fatores emocionais e a eventos de estresse experimentado pelos indivíduos. Uma vez que o hábito de ranger de dentes pode levar a edentações na língua, este estudo avaliou a força da língua em pacientes bruxistas antes e após a terapia por meio de placas oclusais estabilizadoras. Para tanto, voluntários foram selecionados na Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba - UNICAMP e separados em dois grupos: (1) com bruxismo (experimental, n=20), e (2) sem bruxismo (controle, n=20), selecionados segundo os critérios de inclusão. O diagnóstico de bruxismo foi realizado por meio de exame clínico com identificação de sinais e sintomas e por meio da utilização de eletromiografia portátil, Bitestrip®. Posteriormente, todos os voluntários tiveram a força da língua avaliada por meio de sensores de pressão (T0 ¿ baseline). A seguir, os voluntários do grupo experimental receberam placa oclusal estabilizadora, como controle para o bruxismo; e os do grupo controle receberam placa palatina (placebo), sendo todos os voluntários instruídos a utilizá-las durante o sono. Após 30 e 60 dias de uso das placas, a força da língua foi reavaliada. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância para medidas repetidas, seguido pelo teste de Tukey para comparações múltiplas. Todos os cálculos foram efetuados com uso do sistema SAS e o nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Foi verificado que pacientes com bruxismo apresentaram os maiores valores de força da língua (P=0,0027). A utilização de placa oclusal estabilizadora e de placa palatina reduziu (P<0,05) a força máxima da língua para o grupo experimental e controle, que ocorreu independentemente da região da língua. Em acréscimo, observou-se que a língua apresenta maior força na arcada dentária inferior (P<0,05). Pode-se concluir que indivíduos bruxistas apresentam maior força da língua quando comparados àqueles com ausência desse hábito, e o uso da placa oclusal estabilizadora e placa palatina são capazes de diminuir a força da língua
Abstract: Bruxism is a subject of intense research in the dental field and it is correlated with emotional factors and stress events experienced by individuals. Once the habit of teeth grinding can lead to indentations on the tongue, this study assessed the strength of the tongue in bruxism patients before and after therapy by occlusal splints. Volunteers were recruited from Piracicaba Dental School - UNICAMP and divided into two groups: (1) volunteers with bruxism, (experimental, n=20) and (2) volunteers without bruxism (control, n=20), selected according to the inclusion criteria. The diagnosis of bruxism was performed by clinical examination and the use of eletromiographic disposable Bitestrip®. Subsequently, all participants underwent a test to verify the tongue strength by means of pressure sensors (T0 ¿ baseline). Next, the volunteers in the experimental group received occlusal splints as a treatment for bruxism, and those from the control group received an oral appliance (placebo). Subjects from both groups were instructed to use splints during night. After 30 and 60 days of splint use, tongue pressure was reassessed. The results obtained were submited to analysis of variance for repeated measures, followed by Tukey test for multiple comparisons. All calculations were performed using the SAS system and the level of significance was set at 5%. Subjects with bruxism showed the highest values of tongue strength (P=0.0027). The use of occlusal splints and oral appliance reduced (P <0.05) the maximum tongue strenght for experimental and control groups, independent of tongue region. In addition, it was observed that tongue has greater strength in mandibular jaw (P <0.05). In conclution, subjects with bruxism have a higher tongue strength compared with non-bruxers and the use of occlusal splints and oral appliance are able to decrease tongue strength

Resumo: A posição de relação central (RC) para a confecção de placas oclusais é muito discutível. Dessa forma, quando existe estabilidade oclusal, a máxima intercuspidação (MI) poderia ser utilizada como ponto de referência, eliminando a necessidade de registro interoclusal. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo comparar a efetividade de placas oclusais confeccionadas a partir de modelos articulados nessas duas posições. Para isso, 20 pacientes com desordens temporomandibulares (DTM) e dor de origem muscular foram divididos em dois grupos de 10 e tratados com placas confeccionadas nas posições de MI ou RC. Estes foram avaliados por meio de exame clínico, eletrognatográfico e eletromiográfico, antes e após três meses de terapia. Os resultados permitiram verificar que os dois tipos de placa atuaram de forma semelhante. Entretanto, a confecção de placas oclusais a partir da MI mostrou ser uma técnica mais fácil e menos onerosa do que a de RC.
Abstract: Centric relation (CR) position to fabricate occlusal splints is very discussable. In this way, when there is occlusal stability, intercuspal position (IP) could be used as a reference point, eliminating the interocculsal record necessity. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of occlusal splints fabricated from models articulated in these two positions. Twenty patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) of myogenous origin were divided in two groups with 10 each, which were treated with splints fabricated in the CR or IP. The patients were evaluated by clinical, electrognathographic and electromyographic examinations, before and tree months after the therapy. Results showed similar levels of effectiveness of both kinds of splint. However, the fabrication of the splints from IP technique is easier and less onerous than the CR.

Full textIntroduction: The rhythmic masticatory miofascial activity (RMMA) is classified as a mandibular movement disorder characterized by jaw clenching and tooth grinding during sleep so called sleep bruxism. Clinical practice sugests that bruxism is a risk factor of pain and muscular fatigue. There is no definitive treatment but certain preventive measures to avoid complications (orofacial pain, ringing in ears, tooth wear, and others). Intraoral devices are commonly used for bruxism and pain control. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the modulation of rhythmic masticatory mandibular activity (RMMA) and temporomandibular disorder pain (TMDP) of patients after 45 consecutive days of use of an intraoral device. Patients: 21 patients with TMDP and reported tooth grinding sounds during sleep and pain were randomized and divided into the following 3 groups: Group 1 (n=7) intraoral splint, Group 2 (n=7) palatal splint, and Group 3 (n=7) patients awaiting treatment. Methods: All patients were submitted to an interview, a systematic evaluation (EDOF-HC protocol, Visual Analogic Scale, RDC/TMD, orthopanthomography) and three PSG (baseline, 7days, and 45 days after treatment onset). ANOVA and Chi- Square tests were used for statistical analyses. Results: At 45th -day evaluation, TMDP reduced (Group A, p=0.001; Group B, p=0.001) when compared to baseline; Group 1 and Group 2 were free from pain after 45 days. On the other hand, all patients in Group 3 continued with TMDP and muscle fatigue. There were differences between groups in REM sleep data obtained by PSG evaluations, and the number of RMMA increased in Group 1 (p=0.002) compared to Group 3 (p=0.900) between baseline and 45th -day evaluation. Conclusions: TMDP was reduced in the groups that used intraoral and palatal splints when compared to non-users after 45 days; there were no changes in sleep parameters, and therefore there was an increase in the number of RMMA as shown by PSG studies among the patients that used intraoral splints. The suggested mechanism for that increase is the reduction of TMDP

Full textINTRODUCTION: Temporomandibular dysfunction treatment does not follow an accepted pattern in the literature and at the clinical practice. Treatment effects, on chewing muscles, still present themselves in a non-concrete way to professionals. OBJECTIVES: To analyze right and left masseter electromyographyc activity, as well as their electric behavior, prior to and after the use of occlusal splint for a three-month period in seven different moments. METHODS: This experimental and prospective study has been done between September 2006 and June 2007. The electric activity was evaluated through sample surface electromyography of 26 patients, 22 female genders and 4 male genders with temporomandibular dysfunction in 7 different moments: before the occlusal splint usage and after 7, 14, 21, 30, 60 and 90 days of usage. The electric activity has been compared along the right and left masseter and the muscle electric behavior on the seven evaluation moments, relaxed and under contraction. OUTCOMES: Data has been analyzed statistically. There has not been statistic differences among right and left masseters; relaxed (p=0,848) and contracted (p=0,658), during evaluations. On the seven moments, when relaxed, there was a decrease on the masseter electric activity; statistically significant differences are displayed on the 7 and 21 day-moments (p=0,048); 7 and 30 day-moments (p=0,005); 7 and 90 day-moments (p=0,001) and 14 and 90 day-moments (p=0,032). Under contraction, there has been a decrease on the electromyographyc activity as well (p=0,000). The significant statistically differences took place between the moments: before and 7days (p=0,017) and before and 90 days (p=0,007). CONCLUSIONS: The occlusal splint usage did not alter the electromyographyc activity between right and left masseter. The occlusal splint usage decreasing the electromyographyc activity under contraction and relaxed, on seven moments.

Full textThe aim of this research was to test the hypothesis that the treatment with intraoral appliances (occlusal splints and device NTI) is beneficial to the control of symptoms and signs of arthralgy of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) when compared to a control group. Therefore, sixty patients were analyzed by questionnaires and tests that determined the presence of arthralgy of the TMJ and its intensity. Then this sample was randomly divided into three groups of 20 patients each: the first group was treated with repositioning occlusal splint and orientations; the second group received an anterior device (NTI nociceptive trigeminal inhibitory system), the third group of patients (the control group) just received counseling and orientations for behavioral changes. The devices were installed and used in partial time (only during sleep), and the follow-ups were performed after 2, 6 weeks and 3 months. In these sessions, patients were evaluated according the visual scale of pain (VAS), presence of noise, active mouth opening, temporomandibular joint algometry and comfort in the use of intraoral appliances for the experimental groups. The results were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA and Tukey, adopting a significance level of 5%. All three groups showed improvement in signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint arthralgy, suggesting that occlusal appliances and behavioural orientations may be beneficial in the treatment of this condition. However, the management with occlusal appliance and orientations seems to have an earlier effect. The use of occlusal repositioning splint is more comfortable at the beginning of the treatment of patients contributing to a faster reduction of their pain. Long - term studies with the NTI device are needed to establish its effectiveness and absence of adverse dental effects.

Full textThe aim of this study was to assess the effect of anterior guidance and bilateral balanced splints in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and subjective tinnitus. A total of 264 subjects referred for treatment of TMD in FORP/USP were evaluated and 32 women with muscular TMD with or without the diagnosis of articular TMD, who met the inclusion criteria, were selected. TMD diagnosis was performed according to Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomadibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). The patients were randomly divided into two groups: anterior guidance splint group and bilateral balanced splints group. The assessments included pain to palpation, pressure pain threshold with algometer, measurement of amplitude of mandibular movements, surface electromyography, pain intensity and loudness of tinnitus reports in visual analogue scale (VAS) and characteristics of tinnitus. The patients also answered a questionnaire to quantify the frequency and severity of signs and symptoms of TMD (ProDTMMulti) and to assess the impact of tinnitus on a day-to-day (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory - THI). The electromyography evaluation was performed in different activities with and without occlusal splint (maximum voluntary clenching, excursive jaw movements, resting and habitual chewing) and compared to a group of 13 asymptomatic women. The assessments were performed initially (A1), at the day of installation of the occlusal splints, after 60 days of the initial assessment (A2) and after 90 days of occlusal splint therapy (A3). The period between A1 and A2 assessments was considered a control period. The results showed a significant improvement in pain reported by patients and an increase in the amplitude of mouth opening without pain in both groups, without difference between them. The electromyographic activity was significantly reduced during maximum voluntary clenching with occlusal splint compared to clenching in maximal habitual intercuspation, to the other activities performed during the examination there was no significant difference. The tinnitus evaluation showed that in many patients there was remission of symptom after treatment with occlusal splint. There was no difference among groups for all assessments. Based on these findings it is possible to conclude that treatment with both splints promoted improvement in symptoms of patients, without differences among them, and many patients had a remission of reported tinnitus during the treatment.

As placas oclusais são os métodos não-invasivos mais utilizados para o tratamento das DTMs, particularmente as que afetam os músculos mastigatórios, objetivando a redução dessa hiperatividade muscular. Entretanto, há controvérsias em relação ao estabelecimento da sua espessura ideal. O objetivo do presente estudo, foi determinar o efeito da espessura de placas miorrelaxantes (3 mm e 6 mm) sobre a atividade elétrica e a temperatura dos músculos temporal anterior e masseter durante o repouso e o apertamento dental, considerando-se a condição assintomática de 20 indivíduos (10 homens e 10 mulheres) selecionados através do questionário Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC). Os registros eletromiográficos foram realizados por meio do software “Bio EMG” (Biopack – System Bio-Research) e a temperatura das superfícies musculares realizada com o auxílio de um termômetro digital infravermelho (ICEL TD-971), com as respectivas medidas em microvolts ([V) e graus Celsius (ºC). Os resultados obtidos, analisados estatisticamente em um nível de 5% de significância (p<0,05), evidenciaram o aumento da atividade elétrica e a diminuição da temperatura dos músculos temporal anterior e masseter durante o apertamento dental em relação ao repouso.

Full textTemporomandibular disorder (TMD) of multifactorial origin may be associated with occlusal factors but also with changes in posture. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the use of the occlusal splint on the postural equilibrium of non-reprogrammed, dentate individual with signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder. The research group consisted of 70 patients (59 with occlusal splints, 21 in the control group) between 18 and 84 years of age, of both genders, diagnosed with TMD by way of the RDC/TMD questionnaire and magnetic-resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joint. The research was performed via a randomized, controlled, prospective clinical study and intervention. The questionnaires regarding risk of falls - FES-I and quality of life - SF-36 were filled out before evaluating postural equilibrium by way of a force platform. In the randomization, the sample group received occlusal splint, occlusal-stability criteria, and advice about therapeutic exercises; the control group only received advice about therapeutic exercises. After 12 weeks, the groups were re-evaluated qualitatively by frequency, evaluation of the association between the group via Fisher testing; quantitatively via average, median, standard deviation, 25 and 75 percentiles, and minimum and maximum values; comparison between the times via non-parametric Wilcoxon testing and between the groups via Mann-Whitney testing with a threshold of significance of 5 %. Of the universe of the patients who completed the risk-of-fall and quality-of-life study, 77 % were women with an average of of 42.2 years. The items that were significant to the risk of falling contributed to reducing fear of falling, and those significant to quality of life to increasing the domains of mental health, pain, and vitality. Out of the 70 participants, 64 completed the RDC/TMD (47 occlusal splint and 17 controls) with differences that were significant to the diagnosis of miofascial pain, slipped disc, left and right arthralgia, degree of chronic pain, depression, and somatization related to the oclusal splint. Of the 70, 49 completed the postural-equilibrium study (36 occlusal splint and 13 controls), a significant increase in anteroposterior speed of the COP with eyes open and eyes closed (AVPeo and AVPec) occurring in the oclusal splint group while standing. It is therefore concluded that use of the oclusal splint was efficacious in the treatment of TJM and that there was an effect on the postural equilibrium, with improvement occurring in regards to fear of falls and in the domains of mental health, pain, and the quality of life.

In these sessions, patients were evaluated according the visual scale of pain (VAS), maximum mouth opening and masticatory muscle algometry, able to determine the pain pressure threshold (PPT)(KRATOS, Brazil). Possible adverse effects were also analyzed such as comfort in the use of the appliance and occlusal alterations. The results were analyzed with Chi-Square test, Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA and Turkey, with significance level of 5%. The three groups showed improvement in signs and symptoms of MMP, suggesting that occlusal appliances and behavioural orientations may be benefical in the treatment of this condition. However, the management with occlusal appliance and orientations seems to have an earlier effect. Long term studies with the NTI device are needed to establish its safety and absence of adverse dental effects.

Full textThe aim of this study was to evaluate the condylar position in patients with articular TMD before and after treatment with occlusal splints by cone beam computed tomography. Were evaluated and treated 22 patients with signs or symptoms of TMD joint, screened in the Clinical School of Dentistry, Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The diagnosis of TMD was conducted with the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD). The patients were subjected to therapy for occlusal splints for 90 days. Three cone beam computed tomography scans in the region of the TMJ right and left, were being conducted: the first at the beginning of treatment, with the patient in the position of MIH (G1); the second after 90 days of treatment with the patient occluding the occlusal splint (G2); and the third after 90 days of treatment with the patient in the position of MIH (G3). Measures of joint spaces were performed in front, superior and posterior in sagittal cuts of the TMJ. The collected data were analyzed statistically using the t test: paired samples at the 5 % significance level for the comparison between two groups. In the comparison between G1 and G2 and between G2 and G3, a statistically significant increase for the superior joint space and the posterior, but there was no statistically significant difference in the front joint space. For the comparison between G1 and G3, was observed a statistically significant increase in front joint space and superior, and not significant in the posterior joint space. The results of the analysis of the RDC / TMD showed a significant improvement in pain reported by patients and statistically significant increase in maximal mouth opening at the end of therapy with occlusal splints. Considering the method used and the sample data, it was possible to increase the space between the condyle and the articular cavity during use of occlusal splints and also that this therapy improved pain reported by patients and increased range of motion of mandibular opening.

Full textThe electromyographic activity of the muscles masseter and temporal (anterior part) was evaluated in a sample of 37 asymptomatic subjects with Class II malocclusion. They were divided in two groups - experimental and control. The experimental group consisted of 23 subjects, 14 males and 9 females, mean age 23y 7m. This group was neuromuscularly deprogrammed with the use of occlusal splints during a mean period of 6 months and 3 days. The control group was formed by 14 individuals, 3 males and 11 females, mean age 25y 11m. This group did not wear occlusal splint nor suffered any occlusal intervention for a mean observation period of 8 months and 10 days. The electromyographic recordings were accomplished by means of surface bipolar electrodes. The recordings were taken at two different moments - T1 and T2, at mandibular rest position and maximal occlusal clenching. The obtained values were measured by the calculating \"Root Mean Square\" (RMS) and they were expressed in microvolts (цV). The asymmetry and activity indexes were calculated in percentage (%). The data was statistically evaluated by ANOVA and Bonferroni`s tests, considering the level of significance of 5%. The results showed that in the group that wore the occlusal splint occurred a significant reduction of the eletromyographics activities at rest position, as well as a significant increase of the electromyographics activities at maximal occlusal clenching. The control group did not show any significant change in the observated period. The asymmetry indexes showed at mandibular rest, that the left side muscles were more actives. The activity indexes also showed that the temporal muscle presents a relative greater contribution for the maintenance of the rest mandibular position. The indexes - asymmetry and activity - did not present significant changes between the moments for both groups.

Full textThe purpose of this work was the implementation of a methodological chain for bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) virtual planning and its transfer in the operating room. In the first part of the work, usual methods for planning BSSO are exposed. Usually realized from plaster models on articulator, the planning and the occlusal surgical guides production are at risk of temporo-‐mandibular functional disorders. The quality of the functional result depends on the correct positioning of the mandibular condyle, considered as a skeletal stability element. An assessment of the maxillofacial surgeons practices was realized regarding intra-‐operative condyle positioning. Using a condylar positioning device (CPD),less frequently employed than the empirical method, meets an acceptable benefit/risk balance. This method was virtually reproduced through various steps of the methodological chain described. Computerized innovative techniques for three-‐dimensional acquisition, design and manufacturing were used. In the second part of the work, the methodology of each step of the chain was presented and estimated, either on cadaveric subjects, or on patients. The aim was to demonstrate the feasibility of the whole chain. The “acquisition and surface extraction” step pointed the issue of artefacts due to dental or orthodontic metallic devices. Ninety % of the obtained meshes were satisfactory, allowing not to use plaster models. The “virtual surgical planning” step allowed reproducing the usual method and showed great interest in bone interferences prevention. The “modelling and printing of the surgical guide” step described the stages of occlusal and condylar positioning device (OCPD) invention. Its technical characteristics, its methods of manufacturing by 3D printing, and its intraoperative use were specified. The step “OCPD evaluation” showed the method feasibility and the clinical, technical and biological equivalence of this custom-‐made medical device as compared to those used in the usual method. Finally the condylar position obtained with this device was estimated in a preliminary clinical study and compared with the literature. Thanks to the OCPD, we showed the possibility of transferring in the operating room an OSBM virtual planning controlling condyles position

Full textIntraoral Occlusal splints are devices used in the management of patients with sleep disorders, migraine type tension and others. But dentists who are predominantly using the plates as a treatment of occlusal balance of the dental arches in temporomandibular disorders, prevention of tooth wear in patients with habits and prevention of injuries in athletes. Several methods have been used to strengthen acrylic resins, such as metal reinforcement and are currently incorporating different types of fibers such as carbon, polyethylene and glass. However the addition of glass fibers with smaller particles on mechanical properties are still unknown. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate some mechanical properties such as surface roughness, hardness, elastic modulus and flexural strength in acrylic resins after the incorporation of glass fiber particulate pre silanized. Methods: To evaluate the properties were made twenty-four specimens (65 x 10 x 3 mm) of each brand of acrylic resin, used for fabrication of occlusal splints, Vipi Flash (self-curing), Vipi Wave (by thermo microwave heat), Vipi CRILL, Lucitone and QC-20 (thermo heat water bath), with twelve specimes controls, and twelve experimental, with the addition of 10 wt% glass fiber particulate (Reforplás S / A, São Paulo, Brazil). After completion of the roughness of the specimens with grit carborundum and felt it was evaluated the surface roughness on roughness tester (Mitutoyo ®) with three readings over the specimes, the microhardness was examined with a hardness ( Micro Hardness Tester, Shimadzu, Japan) with five measurements in each specime, and evaluate the tests for flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of the specimes was evaluated using a universal testing machine (Emic DL 2000 ®, Emic, São José dos Pinhais, PR, Brazil), with speed 5mm/min. The data were statistically analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests, according to the sample distribution. Results: The mean and standard deviation of the test surface roughness were Vipi Flash without fiber (0.10 ± 0.03); Flash Vipi with fiber (0.12 ± 0.01); Vipi Wave without fiber (0, 16 ± 0.02); Vipi Wave with fiber (0.13 ± 0.02); Vipi Cril without fiber (0.12 ± 0.03); Vipi CRILL with fiber (0.15 ± 0.03); Lucitone without fiber (0.10 ± 0.02); Lucitone with fiber (0.09 ± 0.04), QC-20 fiber without (0.11 ± 0.02) and QC-20 with fiber (0.18 ± 0.03). Means and standard deviations for Knoop microhardness test with respect to trademarks were Vipi Flash without fiber (15.35 ± 0.3); Flash Vipi with fiber (15.51 ± 0.4); Vipi Wave without fiber (16.60 ± 0.8); Vipi Wave with fiber (17.25 ± 0.9); Vipi Cril without fiber (17.78 ± 2.27); Vipi CRILL with fiber (18.02 ± 1.0 ); Lucitone without fiber (15.72 ± 0.3); Lucitone with fiber (16.69 ± 0.6), QC-20 without fiber (15.91 ± 0.4) and QC-20 with fiber (15 , 63 ± 0.2). Means and standard deviations to test elastic modulus were Vipi Flash without fiber (2952.76 ± 292.12); Flash Vipi with fiber (3373.49 ± 403.76); Vipi Wave without fiber (2511.69 ± 304.09); Vipi Wave with fiber (3225.01 ± 248.66); Vipi Cril without fiber (2745.61 ± 288.86); Vipi CRILL with fiber (3671.67 ± 329.91); Lucitone without fiber (1904.53 ± 149.05); Lucitone with fiber (3056.87 ± 126.11), QC-20 without fiber (1913.86 ± 147.80) and QC-20 with fiber (2858.32 ± 185 26). Means and standard deviations for flexural strength were Vipi Flash without fiber (81.62 ± 4.82); Flash Vipi with fiber (83.98 ± 4.98); Vipi Wave without fiber (83.52 ± 8 , 79); Vipi Wave with fiber (88.98 ± 8.47); Vipi Cril without fiber (64.17 ± 5.46); Vipi CRILL with fiber (93.37 ± 9.97); Lucitone without fiber ( 74.71 ± 9.43); Lucitone with fiber (87.29 ± 4.73), QC-20 without fiber (75.80 ± 8.82) and QC-20 with fiber (81.67 ± 12.97). Conclusion: the conclusion is that the incorporation of fibers resulted in changes in almost all properties examined, and thus easily used as an additional reinforcement for acrylic resins. With respect to the surface roughness of acrylic resins by thermo water bath and microwave thermo heat showed higher values when compared with acrylic resin. Moreover, the addition of glass fiber particulate increased the roughness values of some acrylic resins Vipi CRILL, Vipi Flash and Vipi Wave and remained constant in the resins Lucitone and QC-20. The addition of glass fiber does not increase significantly the microhardness in the groups. With respect to flexural strength glass fiber particulate significantly increased all values, as well as the modulus of acrylic resin reinforced by the addition of glass fibers.

Full textSurface electromyography (EMG) can currently be considered a very useful instrument which allows a quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). The purposes of this study was to apply FARC Protocol of TMD treatment with occlusal splint and electromyographic control, correlating the clinical assessment data before and after the treatment with an occlusal splint for a group of 15 patients with TMD, classified according to the RDC / TMD; comparing the results obtained with EMG, before and after treatment with an occlusal splint; comparing the EMG results for this group suffering from TMD and an asymptomatic control group. The electromyographic examination of the masseter and the anterior temporal muscles was carried out in the first assessment session (Phase 1), after one week (Phase 2) and after five weeks (Phase 3) of treatment, aiming at verifying the stability of the splint and the evolution of the muscular activity. The EMG waves were analyzed using the software, and the following EMG indices were calculated: percentage overlapping coefficient (POC) of the masseter and anterior temporal muscles; torque coefficient (TORS); asymmetry index (ASIM); activity index (ATTIV) and the total electrical activity (IMP). For data expressed at measurement interval levels, nonparametric statistics were adopted, using the Wilcoxon test for the paired data in the intra-group analysis (among the phases). Data at ratio level were analyzed through parametric statistical means: paired data t test for intra-group analysis, independent sample t test for among-group analysis. The significance level was established at 5%. After treatment, a statistical significance was found in mouth opening, as well as in the remission in the pain at palpation of a significant portion of the assessed muscles and the TMJ. A significant difference was obtained for the masseter POC and IMP, immediately after the first splint adjustment. When comparing the first phase, without the splint, to the second phase, with the first splint adjustment, a significant difference was observed in the values for masseter POC, ASIM and IMP. There was a significant difference between phase 1, without the splint, and phase 3, with the adjusted splint, for masseter and temporal POC values, ASIM, ATTIV, and IMP. Throughout the entire treatment, there were no significant differences concerning the EMG index in the examinations performed without the splint. There was a statistical significance between the TMD and the control groups in the beginning and in the end of the treatment, with significant differences observed in POC values for both muscles and ATTIV. The occlusal splint, without provoking permanent changes, proved effective to promote the balance of electromyographic activities during its use, and efficient in relieving the symptoms. The EMG parameters allow its scientific use in identifying neuromuscular unbalance, and as such, this assessment tool allowed an objective analysis and evaluation of the different phases of the traditional treatment for TMD in dentistry, differentiating patients with TMD and asymptomatic individuals.

Full textThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of low intensity laser therapy associated with the use of occlusal splint as a method of contribution to the treatment of intraarticular TMD and / or muscle, by clinical and instrumental exams. A total of 25 patients between men and women, mean age 33.8 years, were selected referred for treatment of TMD in FORP / USP. A control group of 12 subjects were also selected for asymptomatic DTM, to compose the control group. All subjects met the inclusion criteria. The diagnosis of TMD was conducted with the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD). The patients were randomly divided into two groups: one group was treated by occlusal splints and the other group was treated by occlusal splint associated with low level laser therapy. The assessments included evaluation of functional occlusion static and dynamic, measurement of mandibular movements, pain on palpation and surface electromyography. Patients also answered a questionnaire about the frequency and severity of signs and symptoms of TMD (ProDTMMulti). The electromyographic evaluation was performed in various activities with and without occlusal splint. Evaluations were performed initially (A1) before treatment, and after completion of treatment (A2). The results showed a significant improvement in pain reported by patients and increased range of mouth opening in both groups, but the group that received laser and plate, this improvement was more pronounced. The electromyographic activity was reduced during most tests, but there was no statistical difference between the experimental groups before and after treatment, nor when compared with the control group. Based on these findings it can be concluded that treatment with occlusal splint in combination with laser therapy yielded more pronounced improvement in symptoms of patients and mandibular movements in subjects with TMD.

Full textMasticatory myofascial pain (MMF) is often associated with headache. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether this relationship occurs with primary or secondary headaches. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of headache attributed to MMF, considered as such, one that improved after treatment of muscle condition. The effect of different treatments types in the improvement of headache associated with MMF, and the impact of the presence of headache on the improvement of facial pain intensity were also evaluated. The sample was comprised of MMF adults according to the RDC / TMD, with (n = 60) and without (n = 20) headache complaints. The 60 subjects with headache were divided into two groups (1a and 1b). The first group received only counseling for behavioral changes. Groups 1b and 2 (without headache), besides counseling, also received occlusal splint. Evaluations were done at baseline, 2 months and after the end of the 5th month. The intensities of facial pain and headache (VAS), and the pressure pain threshold (PPT) of the anterior temporalis, masseter and forearm were recorded. Repeated measures ANOVA, Friedman test and Wilcoxon test were used for comparisons within and between groups considering a 5% significance level. There was a significant reduction in headache intensity and frequency in both groups. The baseline mean was 7.55 ± 2.24 for the group 1a and 6.52 ± 1.63 for group 1b. In the final evaluation these values was respectively, 3.13 ± 2.19 and 2.5 ± 2.33. There was not difference between groups. There was also a reduction in headache frequency between baseline and final evaluation in groups 1a and 1b. There was a reduction in facial pain intensity in all groups. The baseline mean was 6.34 ± 2 in group 1a, 6.14 ± 1.94 for group 1b and 4.77 ± 1.57 for group 2. In the final evaluation these values were 1.66 ± 1.29, 2.3 ± 2.53 and 2.17 ± 1.17 with no difference between groups. There was an increase in the anterior temporalis PPT values for the group 1b (p = 0.01) and the masseter in group 2 (p = 0.01). The between groups comparison showed differences between the group 1a and 2 in the 2 months evaluation for anterior temporalis (p = 0.02). It is concluded that MMF treatment is effective in the improvement of headache attributed to TMD, regardless of the use of occlusal splint. Indeed the main characteristics of this headache were the long duration (more than 4 hours), bilateral location and pressure/tight quality.

Resumo: Foram examinados e tratados dez (10) pacientes do sexo feminino, na faixa etária entre 23 e 50 anos de idade, com sinais e sintomas de alterações funcionais do sistema estomatognático, divididos em dois grupos de cinco pessoas cada. Um grupo foi submetido a tratamento com aparelhos de cobertura oclusal plana e, o outro grupo tratado com aparelhos de pistas duplas tipo Planas, 1987. Os sintomas relatados com mais freqüência, foram as dores de cabeça seguidas de sensação de desconforto muscular. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos aos seguintes procedimentos: anamnése, exame clínico, exame físico através da palpação muscular, moldagem e modelos de estudo. Além dos exames e procedimentos preliminares, foram realizadas duas fases laboratoriais: uma para a captação dos potenciais elétricos dos músculos estudados e, a outra fase para o enceramento dos aparelhos em articulador semi-ajustável e respectivas prensagens em resina acrílica incolor termicamente ativada. Os aparelhos foram instalados e neles foram realizados os primeiros ajustes em relação aos dentes antagônicos. A primeira captação dos potenciais elétricos ocorreu antes da instalação dos aparelhos; a segunda aos 30 dias de uso e a terceira, após o refinamento oclusal, por volta de 60 a 120 dias do início do tratamento. A análise dos potenciais elétricos obtidos durante o período de tratamento com aparelhos de cobertura oclusal plana e do tipo Planas, com a mandíbula em posição postural, na mordida incisivo com resistência, na mordida molar com resistência e mordida molar sem resistência, evidenciou que os pares de músculos estudados, funcionalmente, com o decorrer da terapêutica proposta, tenderam a se equivaler. Em relação ao tipo de aparelho utilizado, ambos mostraram-se efetivos, sendo o de melhor manipulação, os de cobertura oclusal plana. O ajuste oclusal por desgaste seletivo, mostrou ser, importante do ponto de vista da manutenção da posição da mandíbula, conseguida com o uso dos aparelhos intra-orais, quando avaliado através da captação dos potenciais elétricos dos músculos estudados e do relato da remissão dos sinais e sintomas clínicos
Abstract: Ten female patients, with age between 23 to 50 years old, were submitted to a clinical examination and were treated with intra oral appliances, since all of them presented symptomatology related to functional alterations of the stomatognathic system. This group of 10 patients were divided into two groups of 05 patients each. The first group started the treatment wearing flat occlusal splints and the second group started the treatment wearing Planas's appliances with functional tracks (1987). The major and the most importants complaints of all patients were headache followed by muscle discomfort sensation. The all patients were also submitted to anamnesis and during the clinical examination a muscle palpation was perfomed by the professional as well as the impression of the jaws followed the execution of the respective stone cast models. Two laboratory procedures were also realized, firstly for determination of the eletrical potential of the masseter and temporalis and after for the waxing, the appliances were fixed in semi-adjustable articulador and were posteriorly cast with an incolor acrylic resin activated thermically. The appliances were installed in the respective patients mouths and the first adjustments were realized based on the antagonists teeth. The determinations of muscle electrical potentials were performance, firstly, before the instalation of the appliances, after 30 days of their usage, and finally in the period between 60 and 120 days after beggining of the treatment associated with the occlusal adjustment. The muscle electrical potential were obtained during the treatment of the 2 groups of patients, with the respective intra oral appliances referred previously, with the mandible at differents positions such as: postural position, incisor bitting with resistance, molar bitting with resistance and molar whithout resistance, showed that the pair of muscles studied had a functional behavior similar to each other independently of the treatment proposed.

Full textIn order to understand better the physiopathology that affects the muscles of the stomatognathic system, an electromyography analyses has been included in the studies. The electromyography (EMG) allows us to check and evaluate the muscle efficiency, in both sides of the body (symmetry) and between the muscle pairs as a possible effect of the lateral jaw deviation (torque) (Ferrario et al., 1999, 2002). The aim of this work was to study, by surface EMG, the masseter muscles (superficial part) and temporal (back part) in both sides, as well as verifying the effect of the resilient occlusal splint use, as a devise for the temporomandibular disorder treatment (TMDs), and also compare it with the control group. We studied 23 individuals with TMD signs and symptoms, clinically evaluated, who received the resilient occlusal splint use treatment. We used the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) in order to establish the presence or the absence of TMD; also it was registered an EMG activity of the masseter and temporal muscles, in both sides, before, (initial Step 1), 30 days (Step 2) and after 60 days of the resilient occlusal splint use (Step 3) (Pettengill et al., 1998); and relate the electromyography findings with the occlusion and stomatognathic functions clinic evaluation; compare the results of a population with TMD and the control group of 23 individuals. The EMG evaluation was registered through chewing movements and the rest clinic conditions, as well as bilateral laterality with contact, protrusion and tooth clench. The statistic analysis was done with the SPSS software version 15.0 (Chicago, IL, USA). Due to the fact that the hypothesis of the majority of the variable normality was rejected (Shapiro-Wilks Test) non-parametric methods were used in the analysis. The level of significance adopted p ≤0,05. The control group data and the TMD were compared by the non-parametric of Mann-Whitney test, and the intra-group comparisons TMD (initial, 30 and 60 days of splint use) were done with the non-parametric Wilcoxon test. According to the results in the rest clinic condition, there was no significant statistic difference between the control groups and TMD. It was seen a significant difference intra-group of TMD. There was a significant difference on the right laterality comparing both control groups and TMD, and there was no significant statistic difference in the intra-group comparison. Therefore, on the left laterality, we didnt find any significant difference between the control groups and the TMD either on the intra-group TMD comparison. We could find a quite significant difference between the protrusion clinic condition, in the comparison between the control groups and TMD, in the TMD intra-group comparison. Regarding the teeth clenching with parafilm clinic condition, there was a difference between the control groups and the TMD, but there was no difference between the TMD intra-group. The chewing test with Bis and peanuts, we could see a TMD group. We could see on the Bis test that there was a difference between the control group and the TMD, and there was no difference between the TMD intra-group. For the chewing gum test and of the parafilm, we didnt noticed difference between the control group, in the TMD and in the TMD intra-group. This way, we can conclude that the electromyography activity of the masseter and temporal muscles of the TMD group decreased at the end of the treatment with the use of the occlusal splint in 60 days, considering the rest clinic conditions (except for the right masseter muscle), right and left laterality (for all muscles), and protrusion (except for the left masseter muscle). It was verified the same decrease for the teeth clenching with parafilm.

Full textThis study aimed to study an occlusal splint with vibratory stimulation (VibsS) as standard, for the treatment of chronic myofascial pain. Were selected 18 patients with chronic facial myalgia, according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, RDC-TMD.The patients were between 18 and 65years old, female, using stabilization splints for more than six months, and that remained with muscle pain. Were excluded patients with Temporomandibular Disorders, which had made use of analgesics or sleeps modulators and those who were partially or totally edentulous. The analyzed variable was pain reported by patients using visual analog scale (VAS) of 100mm, measuring before the installation of VibsS, and one month after its use. Were installed 18 VibsS; 10 failures in the vibrating mechanism.The mean VAS for the 8 patients who used the VibsS for 1 month were 56.62 ± 22.82mm to measure initial and final mean VAS of 24.75 ± 20.52 mm, p = 0.011. From these 8 patients, only four agreed to the use of an occlusal splints inactive for 30 days, separated by a wash-out period of at least 8 months. The levels of pain-VAS score was the only variable analyzed, and were recorded before and after use of the splints. Were used paired t-tests and ANOVA for repeated measures to obtain the statistics. At baseline, mean levels of VAS pain before using the vibrating splint active and inactive were 54.5±19.8 mm, and 44.0±13.6 mm, respectively. The comparison of these reference values showed no statistical difference (p> 0.05, paired t-test). The average change in pain levels (VAS post-pre) when using the same type of analysis, with active and inactive splints was -42.0±- 30.3 and 29.5 mm±21.5 mm, and the t-test showed a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.07). After that, was made, a new analysis, using the same measures through the analysis of variance ANOVA, where were found a statistically significant difference (f (3,9) = 7543, p = 0.008) before the use of active boards and inactive. However, after using the correction with the Bonferroni test, we found results consistent with those obtained in the analysis performed by the test program t. (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that is an effective use of vibration as a control mechanism of TMD, but this VibsS failed in most cases due to mechanical problems.

Full textTemporomadibular joint disorder (TMJD) in rower athletes has still few studies over this theme, where the biomechanics of athletic gesture points can produce low back pain, rib stress fractures and cervical pain as resulting from power requirement to obtain high speed and body balance for repeatedly long period exercises. The aim of this study was to analyze through dynamic plantar pressure the effects of occlusal splint and therapeutic exercise of mandibular movement in rowers diagnosed as suffering from TMJD. Previous studies have shown that the occlusal splint has significant action to keep the system of body balance in standing position. 30 rower athletes came as volunteers with pain symptoms, and 10 individuals, 40% men ande 60% women, aged between 24 and 35 years, were diagnosed with TMJD through completion of the RDC/TMD questionnaire and clinical examination. The research was performed by a randomized controlled prospective clinical study besides intervention. Immediately after the questionnaire application and clinical examination, all individuals performed tests of static and dynamic baropodometry. After this procedure, the groups were randomized by using a free online software (www.random.org) which determined the members of control group, named Exercise Group (EG) and test group called Oclusal Splint Group (OSG). Both groups received guidance for performing only therapeutic exercise of mandibular movement. The OSG were scheduled for the completion of preparation stage for occlusal splint. All groups were monitored for 12 weeks and after this period were evaluated according to the same parameters of the initial step. Statistic analysis was performed by using ANOVA model (normal and homoscedasticity), t-Student test and Wilcoxon nonparametric test. The results showed statistical significance to pain relief and increase of amplitude range of jaw joint in OSG (p < 0.05). No statistical significance was observed in the analysis of dynamic plantar pressure, justified by insufficient statistic population. In conclusion the use of occlusal splint was effective in the treatment of TMJD to pain relief, however, a larger sampling is necessary to verify the integration among stomatognatic system, posture and and gait dynamics analyzes.

Full textAim: To assess using qualitative photoelastic studies the tensions generated in the long axis of the implants and interimplants in the cervical, middle and apical regions when subjected to different loads with or without interposition of occlusal splint flat. Methods: Four photoelastic models were fabricated with two external hexagon implants (Neodent) located in the space corresponding to the second premolar and molar inferiors. In each model, screw-retained metal superstructures were installed on the implants. Photoelastic models were positioned in the circular polariscope for distribution of isochromatic fringes around the implants. Photographic records were obtained before and after application of different types of loading: 1- 30kg without plate; 2- 30kg with plate; 3- 60kg without plate; 4- 60kg with plate; 5- 90kg without plate; 6- 90kg with plate. Results: After the analysis, the presence of tension in the models without the application of occlusal load after torque application (20Ncm) was observed. The decrease in stress with the application of the occlusal splint flat became more evident after the application of 60kg load. Generally, the major stress magnitude occurred in the cervical region for interimplant areas and in the apical region around implants, with a decrease of 57,77%, between the three magnitudes of loads applied after use of plate. Conclusions: The data obtained in this studies demonstrate that the best stress distribution in the implants is obtained by interposing occlusal splint flat, with the application of a 60kg load, and a decrease of 66,66%.

Full textOral appliances, such as occlusal splints (OS), have been advocated as a mean to improve high-level sports performance. OS promote variations in jaw position and therefore create a change in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and on the masticatory muscles. They have been a subject of research, at neuromuscular and physiological level, to determined changes derived from the use of such devices. However, due to a paucity of research studies, and limitations on the used methods in the performed studies, it is not possible to give a correct and definite answer to the possible influence of OS on neuromuscular function and in the human sports performance. Therefore, this thesis aimed to ascertain the acute effects of occlusal splints on neuromuscular function. Five studies were conducted to achieve this purpose: 1) a systematic review, which revealed evidence of the effects of OS in upper body isometric tasks, for untrained healthy subjects; 2) a study that showed that OS enhance strength and muscle activity in upper body isokinetic tasks for untrained subjects; 3) a study which determined that for rugby athletes, OS did not increase strength in an upper body power movement, but a customized mouthguard increased peak force and peak acceleration despite other force and power did not change; 4) a study that analyzed kinematic body oscillation in gait and running and found no changes when using OS; and 5) a study that found no changes in body sway, EMG from upper limb muscles and shooting accuracy in pistol shooters while using OS. The ergogenic effect of OS was found in the dynamic strength performed by untrained subjects. Customized mouthguards, that reposition, for trained athletes, TMJ in an identical position as OS, increased some parameters of strength and acceleration but did not change other parameters. Future research should confirm these findings, while also determining the long-term effect of using OS.

Full textIntroduction: Occlusal splints are used to decrease symtomatology associated with clinical situations like temporomandibular joint dysfunctions and parafunctional habits, such as bruxism. It is important that dentists are able to do a correct diagnosis of different disorders and apply correct treatment plan with the right kind of occlusal splint. Objectives: This study pretends to do a descriptive analysis of occlusal splint executed in the University Clinic of the Catholic University of Portugal. The study pretends to identify the pathology and evaluate the efficacy of treatment with occlusal splint in reduction of signs and symptoms of these disorders. Methodology: Two groups of patients were selected, an experimental group – 20 patients with occlusal splints and a control group – 20 patients without occlusal splints. An evaluation, with the RDC/TMD indice, was conducted on the groups to diagnose and examine the presence of signs and symptoms of the pathology. The data collected was analyzed statistically using Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test, according to the sample size. Results: Significant results were found between use of occlusal splints and presence/absence of pain in both the experimental group (6 males and 14 females with mean age of 36.15 years) and the control group (4 males and 16 females with mean age of 28.55 years). 65% of patients from the experimental group did not refer of spontaneous pain while 80% of patients from the control group experienced symptoms. A significant association was also found between the use of occlusal splints and diagnosis of pathology associated, and that 55% of the splints studied belonged to patients with bruxism. Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, namely regards to the limited sample size, it is possible to observe that patients with occlusal splints presented a reduction of symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and bruxism.

When it comes to the design of occlusal splint, particular in the analysis of cusp contact between the opposing teeth and the canine guidance, traditional CAD software has serious limitations and missing functions. Therefore, we follow the design principles of the traditional hand-made occlusal splint, create the digital design flow, and apply on the temporomandibular disorders. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a quickly design CAD system for digital occlusal splint. This system includes tooth mold repair system, occlusal splint construction and occlusion simulate system. To block out the tooth mold by the triangle mesh repair function, curve offset and surface construction function can manufacture the principle part of occlusal splint and use mesh deform, Boolean operation to finished the occlusal splint. At last, apply on the additive manufacturing to archive the purpose of construct quickly. In addition, the digital occlusion simulate system can provide the parameters which the occlusal splint needed, like the distance between upper and lower jaw, the real occlusal path and the location and require height of canine guidance. When the digital occlusal splint has finished, the occlusion simulate system used to check if the interference happened between tooth and splint or not. Finally obtain a good result and archive the purpose of quickly design the occlusal splint.

Preface and Aim: Patients who suffered from anterior disc displacement with reduction of temporomandibular joint (ADDR) always bore clicking sound which embarrassed them and couldn’t finish a conversation with others in public place. Besides, with the variation of the disease, ADDR may accompany with painful inflammation of joint and deviation or intermittent locking during mouth opening and closing. Because of these troublesome symptom and sign, the present study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal splint for treatment of ADDR and analyzed associated factors which may have influence on it. Materials and Methods: The study recruited 48 consecutive patients who clinically were diagnosed as ADDR. The total numbers of participated joint were 52. All of the patients received occlusal splint treatment and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) taking, including static and movie view, to confirm the diagnosis and were followed up until the course of treatment completed. Besides, among them, there were 34 patients who also received MRI taking with insertion of occlusal splint into their oral cavity. The total numbers of joint we could compare the disc-condyle relationship under insertion of splint were 35. After course of splint treatment accomplished and passing half a year, we traced 30 patients who initially were diagnosed as ADDR by MRI and collected the clinical data again. Then we discussed the success rate of occlusal splint and analyzed if the success rate was influenced by the associated factors. These factors were as below: Clinically — Age, Sex, Mouth opening on clicking or intermittent locking, Duration of clicking or intermittent locking, Open-bite complication; Image finding — Disc morphology, Type of disc displacement, Range of disc displacement, Condyle morphology. Results: Initially, the 50 joints clinically diagnosed as ADDR were confirm in 40 joints. The accuracy of the clinically diagnostic method for ADDR used in the present study was 80.0%. The diagnosis of MRI was ADDR and simultaneously with image of splint inserted into oral cavity comprised 28 joints. Among these 28 joints, 75.0% could be observed that disc complete recapture to normal disc-condyle relationship. After half a year in the traced 32 joints, the success rate of occlusal splint was 62.5%. Furthermore, when we divided the associated factors into subgroups and utilized the Fisher’s exact test, Chi-square test to analyze the correlation between treatment outcomes and factors, there was no any statistically significant in the results. Logistic regression and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, otherwise, were also used to assess the odds ratio after factors mutually adjusted each other and assess the different range of disc displacement between success group and failure group, but there was still no any statistically significant. Conclusion: In the present study, the result confirmed the good efficacy of occlusal splint to treat anterior disc displacement with reduction of TMJ disc. In addition, we used the clicking sound and intermittent locking as guideline for diagnosis and design of splint, the result showed it’s a reliable method. Although the result in the present study didn’t show any statistically significant, here we provided some factors for further study to investigate.

Full textMost athletes are constantly looking for new methods to improve their performance. For many years it has been discussed the supposed utility of using an occlusal splint to improve the performance of athletes even without temporomandibular disorders. The purpose of this narrative review was to try to clarify, through the analysis of the existing Literature, if the application of an intraoral device can improve the performance of the athlete. The methodology consisted of a search conducted on databases Pubmed, Medline, Scielo e Google Scholar. It seems that the craniofacial muscles have some influence on the remaining muscles of the body. The application of an occlusal splint yielded discordant results in the various performance typologies analyzed, so we can conclude that more studies with duration and larger sample and a more standardized research method are needed.
