This proposal requests funding for the development of three subprojects of research, whose objectives are: Subproject 1: to compare chewing of edentulous elderly rehabilitated through complete dentures (CD), and later through lower overdentures on single osseointegrated implant installed in the mandibular symphysis. It will be evaluated the chewing performance (sieving method), maximum bi…
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent rheumatic disease, which can cause severe damage to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and possibly the functions of the stomatognathic system. The study aims to evaluate the masticatory function and impact on quality of life of elderly patients with RA with involvement of the TMJ. For this, 45 volunteers aged over 60 years, partially or totally ede…
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a common painful condition, especially in women during the reproductive phase. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether hormonal fluctuations occurring during the menstrual cycle alter pain sensitivity, maximum bite force and masticatory performance of volunteers with TMD. Fifty volunteers will be selected and divided into two groups of twenty …

Removable partial dentures (PPRs) represent a conservative and inexpensive alternative for the rehabilitation of patients with tooth loss. However, structures of PPRs in cobalt-chromium alloy (Co-Cr) can fail to adapt, interfering with satisfaction, masticatory function and, ultimately, with the patients' diet. In this context, new materials have been researched to overcome these flaws, w…
Living in a nursing home means being inserted in a context different of the community, which can affect the general health, quality of life (QoL) and oral health of the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how the aging process occurs within the Brazilian nursing homes. This multicenter study aims to assess transversely and longitudinally the institutionalized older adults re…
The mandibular Complete Denture (CD) is frequent target of complaint of patients due to insufficient retention and stability, causing discomfort, masticatory and speech limitation of their users. These aspects direct influence the quality of life, important parameter for evaluation the success of prosthetic treatment. The advent of implant-retained prosthetic treatment allowed a significa…
Awake bruxism (AB) is characterized by tooth clenching, being associated with daily stress and anxiety, which justifies its increase around the globe. In addition, it can be considered a risk factor for temporomandibular disorders, highlighting the need to consolidate effective therapies in the management of this parafunction. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the influence of two AB ther…
The growth of the elderly population is due to the increase of the world life expectancy. However, active aging is uncertain, especially in elderly people living in long-term institutions. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the oral health condition and the physical and nutritional status, as well as the masticatory efficiency of the elderly in long-stay institutions…
