ABSTRACT
This article presents selected cases of patients with functional disorders of the stomatognathic system. This group of patients had a need to made different types of removable occlusal splints. In the past, occlusal appliances were made mostly using self-cured acrylate materials, which for many years had no replacements. The rapid development of dental materials technology led to creation of thermo-formable materials and resins, which can successfully replace traditional acrylic materials in daily clinical practice. A practical application of light-cured resin in the fabrication of the occlusal splints in two clinical cases is reported and discussed herein.
RESUMO
Este artigo apresenta casos selecionados de pacientes com distúrbios funcionais do sistema estomatognático, que necessitavam de diferentes tipos de placas oclusais removíveis. No passado, as placas oclusais eram fabricadas, em sua maioria, utilizando-se materiais acrílicos autopolimerizáveis, sem que houvesse substituto por muitos anos. O rápido desenvolvimento da tecnologia dos materiais odontológicos levou ao desenvolvimento de materiais termo-moldáveis e resinas, os quais podem substituir os tradicionais materiais acrílicos com sucesso na prática clínica diária. A aplicação prática da resina fotopolimerizável na fabricação de placas oclusais em dois casos clínicos é relatada e discutida neste trabalho.
