Abstract(s)
Objetivos: Realizar uma comparação entre o tratamento com aparelho ortodôntico fixo e o tratamento orthodontics com alinhadores Invisalign® e perceber qual o impacto que um ou outro tratamento tem ao nível da saúde periodontal, dor e estética, percebendo qual dos dois apresenta mais vantagens. Métodos: Estudo piloto, por aplicação de um questionário online, dirigido aos pacientes da clínica Cerejeira & Leão em tratamento com aparelho ortodôntico fixo e Invisalign®. Resultados: Nesta investigação, a amostra constituiu um total de 60 participantes dos quais 30 participantes faziam tratamento ortodôntico convencional e os restantes 30 utilizaram o Invisalign®. Verificou-se que 16,7% dos participantes do grupo convencional notaram alteração da cor da gengiva após a colocação do aparelho e 10% dos participantes do grupo Invisalign® afirmaram o mesmo. Observou-se que 33,3% dos participantes que usavam Invisalign® referiram um nível zero de dor após as consultas de controlo enquanto que no grupo convencional apenas 6.7% dos participantes relataram dor nível zero. Houve apenas três respostas com nível oito de dor pertencentes ao grupo convencional. Quanto à estética 60% dos participantes do grupo Invisalign® afirmaram que o seu aparelho ortodôntico não lhe prejudicava a estética enquanto que no grupo convencional apenas 46,7% afirmaram o mesmo. Conclusão: Não se verificaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas ao nível da saúde periodontal e da estética entre os dois grupos. Relativamente ao nível de dor houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos tendo sido relatado um nível de dor inferior no grupo Invisalign®.
Objectives: Perform a comparison between fixed braces and orthodontics treatment with Invisalign® aligners and understand what impact one or the other treatment has on periodontal health, pain and esthetics, realizing which of the two has more advantages. Methods: Pilot study, by applying an online questionnaire, addressed to patients at Cerejeira & Leão clinic in treatment with fixed orthodontic appliance and Invisalign®. Results: In this investigation, the sample constituted a total of 60 participants of which 30 participants were doing conventional orthodontic treatment and the remaining 30 used the Invisalign® system. It was found that 16.7% of participants in the conventional group noticed a change in gingiva color after placement of the appliance and 10% of participants in the Invisalign® group said the same. It was observed that 33.3% of the participants wearing Invisalign® reported a level zero pain after the control visits while in the conventional group only 6.7% of the participants reported level zero pain. There were only three responses with pain level eight belonging to the conventional group. As for aesthetics, 60% of the participants in the Invisalign® group stated that their orthodontic appliance did not affect their aesthetics, while in the conventional group only 46.7% said the same. Conclusion: There were no statistically significant differences in periodontal health and esthetics between the two groups. Regarding the level of pain, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups, with a lower level of pain reported in the Invisalign® group.
