Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Este estudo visa avaliar a adesão ao dispositivo de aceleração do movimento dentário em conjunto com tratamento ortodôntico com alinhadores, e investigar se a redução do tempo total de tratamento aumentaria a aceitação do paciente.
Materiais e métodos: Realizou-se um estudo piloto com 26 pacientes em tratamento ortodôntico com alinhadores, usando um questionário para aferir a aceitação dos pacientes relativo ao dispositivo anteriormente mencionado. Os dados foram analisados utilizando Microsoft Excel®.
Resultados: A análise demonstrou uma aceitação positiva do dispositivo de aceleração, com a maioria dos pacientes a valorizar a redução no tempo de tratamento. Surgiram, contudo, preocupações sobre o conforto e a praticidade dos dispositivos. Uma correlação significativa foi observada entre a expectativa de redução no tempo de tratamento e a aceitação do dispositivo.
Conclusões: O estudo indica que a adesão aos aceleradores de movimento dentário é fortemente influenciada pela redução no tempo de tratamento, apesar dos custos adicionais. A aceitação foi geralmente positiva. Estes resultados são importantes para o desenvolvimento futuro de tratamentos ortodônticos, destacando a necessidade de equilibrar eficácia e conforto.
Objective: This study aims to assess the adherence to the dental movement acceleration device in conjunction with orthodontic treatment using aligners, and to investigate whether reducing the overall treatment time would increase patient acceptance. Materials and Methods: A pilot study was conducted with 26 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with aligners, using a questionnaire to capture patient intentions. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel®. Results: The analysis showed positive acceptance of the acceleration device, with most patients valuing the reduction in treatment time. However, concerns arose regarding the comfort and practicality of the devices. A significant correlation was observed between the expectation of reduced treatment time and device acceptance. Conclusions: The study indicates that adherence to dental movement accelerators is strongly influenced by the reduction in treatment time, despite additional costs. Acceptance was generally positive. These results are important for the future development of orthodontic treatments, highlighting the need to balance efficacy and comfort.
