Resumo
After complete denture insertion, edentulous patients usually present transitory
difficulties. This is one of the most critical stages of prosthetic treatment and it is strongly related
to the prostheses acceptance. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential changes in the
mandibular movement pattern related to insertion of the complete denture during the functional
adaptation period. The Kinesiograph instrument K6-I (Myotronics Research Inc., Seattle, WA)
was used to evaluate fifteen edentulous patients that received conventional complete denture
treatment. Recordings of opening and closure movement limits, movement velocity, postural rest
position, chewing cycle and limits of eccentric movements were performed. Each patient was
evaluated in six different stages: I. immediately after insertion of the new dentures; II. 24 hours;
III. 48 hours; IV. 1 week; V. 2 weeks and VI. 30 days after insertion of the dentures. The results showed that there were no remarkable changes in the mandibular motion patterns after insertion
of the new dentures. It was suggested that the problems related to the process of utilization of the
new dentures are not strictly associated to the mandibular movement. Therefore, the insertion of
the complete denture did not modify the mandibular movement pattern in edentulous patients, by
means of kinesiographic study, during one month of accompaniment.
