Abstract(s)
As goteiras oclusais são o tratamento mais comum, para as disfunções temporomandibulares, mas também para outras patologias como o bruxismo do sono. No entanto, a sua eficácia relativa no tratamento da causa das doenças levou ao desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias. Assim, as goteiras oclusais com sensores constituem um novo avanço tecnológico na compreensão e tratamento destas patologias. Estão equipadas com sensores integrados que medem a pressão exercida na sua superfície pelos dentes.
Esta revisão bibliográfica narrativa teve como objetivo, através da análise da literatura existente, de esclarecer se a aplicação de goteiras oclusais com sensores pode ser um método eficaz no acompanhamento dos pacientes.
Nos estudos analisados, verificou-se que as goteiras oclusais com sensores apresentam boa eficácia, e que poderiam tornar-se uma fonte de medições confiáveis no diagnóstico, monitorização e tratamento de bruxismo e DTMs. Contudo, estudos futuros serão necessários, visando otimizar os desenvolvimentos tecnológicos e as funcionalidades dos dispositivos.
Occlusal splints are the most common treatment for temporomandibular disorders, but also for other pathologies such as sleep bruxism. However, their relative effectiveness in the treatment of the disease cause has led to the development of new technologies. Then, occlusal splints with sensors constitute a new technological advance in these pathologies understanding and treatment. They are equipped with integrated sensors which measure the teeth's pressure exerted on their surface. The aim of this review of the literature is to clarify if the application of occlusal splints with sensors can be an effective method for monitoring patients. In the studies reviewed, it was verified that the occlusal splints with sensors have good efficacy, and they could become a reliable measurements source in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of bruxism and TMD. However, future studies will be necessary, aiming to optimize the devices technological developments and their functionalities.
