| Abstract | |
The 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. (AU) | |
