| Abstract | |
In the literature we found studies showing that individuals treated with antipsychotics and antidepressants are an increase of caries, gingivitis, periodontitis and stomatitis. However, besides these anticholinergic properties, known antipsychotic drugs, and less intensity, antidepressant drugs cause muscle actions in the system as a whole. The use of antipsychotic drugs is known to be associated with side effects engines acute and chronic conditions such as parkinsonism, akathisia and tardive dyskinesia. Antidepressant medications, tricyclic both classical, as the new generation, such as selective inhibitors of recapitulation of serotonin have been identified as causing muscle side effects similar to antipsychotics. Given the above, the objective was to analyze the electromyographically masseter and temporal muscles, bite force and masticatory efficiency in patients treated with antipsychotics and antidepressants, specifically, patients with esquizofrina and mood disorders, and compare with the group control, given the importance of these functions within the actions of the stomatognathic system.
