Resumo
Foi objetivo deste estudo realizar experimento laboratorial comparativo da elevação do ramo superior do articulador, após o processamento, entre próteses totais confeccionadas com oclusão balanceada lingualizada e com balanceada oclusão convencional. Para isso, foram confeccionados, pela técnica da prensagem e polimerização em banho de água a 72º C, durante 9 horas, 30 pares de próteses totais padronizados, divididos em dois grupos: Grupo 1 (controle) - próteses com oclusão convencional, as quais apresentavam contatos oclusais cêntricos nas cúspides vestibulares dos dentes posteriores inferiores e palatinas dos dentes posteriores superiores e Grupo 2 (experimental) - próteses com oclusão lingualizada, as quais apresentavam contatos cêntricos somente nas cúspides palatinas dos dentes posteriores superiores. Os registros da dimensão vertical de oclusão foram obtidos em aparelho de mensuração, com relógio comparador micrométrico posicionado sobre ponto específico do ramo superior do articulador, imediatamente antes e após o processamento das próteses. Todas as mensurações foram feitas em triplicata, para obtenção de médias. O aumento médio da dimensão vertical de oclusão, após o processamento, foi de 0,872l0,214mm, para o grupo 1, e de 0,897l0,271mm, para o grupo 2. Realizado o teste t, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos. Conclui-se que: (1) as próteses totais confeccionadas em oclusão lingualizada tiveram um aumento da dimensão vertical de oclusão no articulador, após processamento laboratorial, semelhante às próteses totais confeccionadas em oclusão convencional; (2) apesar dos dois esquemas oclusais estudados apresentarem aumentos da dimensão vertical de oclusão semelhantes, a oclusão lingualizada geraria ajustes oclusais pós-processamento mais simples, por apresentar menor número de contatos cêntricos...
The aim of this study was to compare articulator opening after processing for complete dentures having balanced lingualized occlusion with complete dentures having balanced conventional occlusion. Thirty sets of standard compression molded complete dentures - maxillary and mandibular - were obtained by polymerization in water bath at 72º C for 9 hours and distributed as follows: Group 1 (control) - complete dentures with conventional occlusion. In this group, the mandibular buccal cusps were occluding in the maxillary central fossae and the maxillary lingual cusps were occluding in the mandibular central fossae; Group 2 (experimental) - complete dentures with lingualized occlusion. In this group, only the maxillary lingual cusps were occluding in the mandibular central fossae. The vertical dimension of occlusion was measured always at the same point of the upper member of articulator. The measurements were recorded with a micrometer, immediately before and after processing of the complete dentures. All measurements were made in triplicate. The mean increase in vertical dimension of occlusion, after processing, was 0,872l0,214 mm, for group 1, and 0,897l0,271 mm, for group 2. A t test was performed and a statiscally significant difference was not found. Conclusions: (1) After processing, complete dentures made with lingualized occlusion showed an increase in vertical dimension of occlusion similar to complete dentures made with conventional occlusion; (2) Despite the two occlusal concepts had leaded to similar increases in the vertical dimension of occlusion, the lingualized occlusion could result in easier occlusal adjustments, after processing, because of the smaller number of centric contacts. Of this point of view, the laboratory working time should be considered by professionals who work in this area.
