Abstract(s)
As goteiras oclusais são a abordagem de tratamento do bruxismo mais usada pelos médicos dentistas e, embora úteis como prevenção do desgaste dentário, ajudam na redução da atividade muscular mastigatória rítmica, característica do bruxismo.
O presente trabalho consiste na criação de uma goteira personalizada low cost recorrendo a técnicas de engenharia inversa aplicada ao fabrico. O propósito é que recubra parcialmente as superfícies dentárias, alterando a oclusão do paciente, para ser utilizado no período noturno a fim de amenizar os danos causados e desta forma ser considerada uma forma estratégica para o tratamento do bruxismo.
Com recurso à Biomodelação em alternativa aos métodos tradicionais atualmente utilizados, é possível através desta tecnologia, a obtenção de um biomodelo personalizado com grande detalhe. Verifica-se uma opção eficaz de tratamento para prevenção do desgaste dentário, de uma forma mais rápida e com custo mais acessível, apresentando todas as condições necessárias de forma a garantir o máximo beneficio ao doente.
Occlusal gutters are the bruxism treatment approach most used by dentists and, although useful as prevention of tooth wear, they help to reduce rhythmic masticatory muscle activity, characteristic of bruxism. The present work consists of the creation of a custom low cost gutter using reverse engineering techniques applied to the manufacture. The purpose is to partially cover the dental surfaces, changing the patient's occlusion, to be used at night in order to mitigate the damage caused and thus be considered a strategic way to treat bruxism. Using Biomodeling as an alternative to the traditional methods currently used, it is possible through this technology to obtain a customized biomodel with great detail. There is an effective treatment option for preventing dental wear, in a faster and more affordable way, presenting all the necessary conditions in order to guarantee the maximum benefit to the patient.
