Reabilitação oral em pacientes com bruxismo: revisão de literatura

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Bruxism has shown a significant increase in its incidence in recent decades. It is defined as a parafunctional habit of clenching or grinding the teeth. For diagnostic purposes, careful anamnesis and social investigation of the patient, complementary to intraoral and extraoral clinical examination, are of paramount importance. For the longevity of the rehabilitation treatment, the commitment of the patient to use the interocclusal protection plate is necessary, as it prevents the occurrence of any type of adverse event regarding the composite resin. OBJECTIVE: understand through a review of the scientific literature about the importance of aesthetic oral rehabilitation in patients with bruxism, through composite resin and after treatment, the use of interocclusal protection plate, which is intended to protect after rehabilitation. METHODOLOGY: This is a bibliographical, exploratory study carried out through an integrative literature review. A bibliographic survey was carried out in scientific articles, in the Virtual Health Library - BVS, as in the Scientific Electronic Library online (SCIELO) and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (PUBMED), published between the years 2016 to 2023. RESULTS: In view of the study presented, it was demonstrated that the rehabilitative treatment of patients affected by severe bruxism through composite resins associated with an occlusal splint, can be considered one of the best choices, but first of all it is up to the dental surgeon to carry out the planning, before carrying out rehabilitation, in addition it must be used properly. It is up to the professional to have practical mastery and respect their properties according to their particularities. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Given the above, it is concluded that the use of composite resins directly to restore severely worn dentitions has proven to be a relatively inexpensive and non-invasive technique, in addition to aesthetically satisfactory results.
