Orientador: Ana Carolina Pero Vizoto / Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do adesivo tipo pó no desempenho mastigatório e qualidade de vida associada à saúde bucal (QVSB) de pacientes edêntulos com rebordos mandibulares normais e reabsorvidos, durante o período de adaptação com próteses totais convencionais. Quarenta e dois indivíduos desdentados totais completaram o estudo, sendo assim distribuídos: participantes com rebordos normais com adesivo, 10; participantes com rebordos normais sem adesivo, 10; participantes com rebordos reabsorvidos com adesivo, 11; participantes com rebordos reabsorvidos sem adesivo, 11. Nos grupos com adesivo, os participantes foram orientados a utilizar o adesivo Corega pó durante o período do estudo, de acordo com as recomendações do fabricante. O desempenho mastigatório foi avaliado através do método dos tamises e a QVSB dos indivíduos usuários de próteses totais foi avaliada através do questionário Oral Health Impact Profile específico para pacientes desdentados totais (OHIP-EDENT), nos períodos 30, 60 e 90 dias após a instalação das próteses totais. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de ANOVA dois fatores mista (desempenho mastigatório) e Equações de Estimações Generalizadas (QVSB), de acordo com o tipo de rebordo (α=0,05). Os resultados mostraram que o uso do adesivo resultou em melhor desempenho mastigatório no período de 30 (35,76±12,63% A) e 60 dias (30,06±10,54% A), para participantes com rebordos normais, em comparação com o período 90 dias (23,53±9,74% B).

Forty-two participants were distributed in four groups: normal mandibular ridges with adhesive, n=10; normal mandibular ridges without adhesive, n=10; resorbed mandibular ridges with adhesive, n=11; resorbed mandibular ridges without adhesive, n=11. Participants used Corega powder during the study according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The masticatory performance was evaluated using sieve method and OHRQoL was assessed by the Oral Health Impact Profile in Edentulous Adults (OHIP-EDENT) inventory at 30, 60 and 90 days after insertion of new complete dentures. Data were submitted to the 2-way ANOVA test (masticatory performance) and Generalized Estimating Equations (OHRQoL), according to the type of ridges (α=.05). The results showed that the use of adhesive resulted in a better masticatory performance at 30 (35.76±12.63% A) and 60 days (30.06±10.54% A) for participants with normal mandibular ridges than the 90-day period (23.53±9.74% B). The use of adhesive did not interfere on masticatory performance of participants with resorbed mandibular ridges during adaptation period with new complete dentures and had a negative effect on masticatory discomfort/disability OHRQoL subscale for participants with resorbed mandibular ridges at 30-day period [5.2(3.6, 6.8)] compared to 60 [2.6(0.9, 4.3)] and 90 days periods [1.7(0.2, 3.2)]. The use of adhesive did not influence OHRQoL in participants with normal mandibular ridges during adaptation period with new complete dentures. It was concluded that use of adhesive can improve the masticatory performance of new complete dentures wearers with normal mandibular...(Complete abstract electronic access below) / Mestre
