Orientador: Ana Carolina Pero Vizoto / Resumo: O tratamento reabilitador com próteses totais convencionais tem como objetivos restabelecer a mastigação, a fonética e a deglutição, assim como proporcionar estética e conforto. O sucesso desse tratamento deve combinar a satisfação do paciente com etapas clínicas e laboratoriais criteriosas e bem executadas, principalmente as que envolvem os procedimentos de moldagem, registro das relações intermaxilares e escolha do esquema oclusal. Atualmente, o esquema oclusal mais difundido em prótese total é a oclusão balanceada bilateral (OBB). No entanto, a literatura aponta que a desoclusão pelos caninos (DC) é uma alternativa viável na confecção de próteses totais convencionais. Estudos randomizados controlados para verificar o efeito da guia de desoclusão nas variáveis relacionadas à mastigação ainda são necessários. O objetivo deste estudo cross-over foi analisar a influência da guia de desoclusão no desempenho e habilidade mastigatória de usuários de próteses totais convencionais. Foram convidados a participar do estudo indivíduos desdentados totais, do sexo feminino, que receberam tratamento com próteses totais convencionais, de acordo com os princípios clínicos e laboratoriais preconizados pela Disciplina de Prótese Total da Faculdade de Odontologia de Araraquara (UNESP) (n=50). Após o período de adaptação com as novas próteses (fase pré-teste), os participantes foram divididos em duas sequências de estudo onde, em períodos alternados e sequenciais de 30 dias cada, foram designa...

The success of this treatment should combine patient satisfaction with clinical and laboratorial stages wellexecuted, especially those involving molding procedures, record of intermaxillary relationships and choice of occlusal scheme. Currently, the most widespread occlusal scheme in complete dentures is bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO). However, the literature indicates that canines guidance (CG) it is a viable alternative in the production of conventional complete dentures. Randomized controlled trials to verify the effect of the disocclusion guidance on variables related to chew are still necessary. The objective of this cross-over study was to analyze the influence of disocclusion guidance on masticatory performance and ability in wearers of complete dentures. Total edentulous individuals, female, who received treatment with conventional complete dentures, were invited to participate in this study according to the clinical and laboratory principles recommended by Araraquara Dental School (UNESP) (n = 50). After the period of adaptation with the new dentures (pre-test phase), the participants were divided into two sequences of study, where, in alternating and sequential periods of 30 days each, they were assigned to the two types of protocols proposed: Sequence 1: bilateral balanced occlusion - BBO, followed by canines guidance - CG; Sequence 2: canines guidance - CG, followed by bilateral balanced occlusion - BBO. The evaluations of masticatory performance and masticatory ability were carried out, respectively, using the sieves method and the application of a specific questionnaire based on a visual analogue scale (VAS), at different times: 30 days after the pre-test phase (Assesment 1), and 60 days after the pre-test phase...(Complete abstract electronic access below) / Mestre
