Uso de implantes dentais em pacientes com bruxismo
Dentition with severe wear in patients stricken by bruxism is a challenge due to loss of dental structure and occlusal vertical dimension and the temporomandibular implications. Bruxism is presented as a contraindication in cases of dental implants. This systematic review was carried out by examining the electronic literature available at PubMed and Google Scholar from 2010 to 2020 in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. The review details the relationship between bruxism and dental implant failure in contrast to temporomandibular disorders, presenting the following conclusions: a) bruxism is a contributing factor to the occurrence of technical / biological complications of the dental implant and plays an important role in the failure of the dental implant; b) the anamnesis must be detailed to confirm sleep or day bruxism; c) the control of bruxism through the use of occlusal stabilization device may provide relief in the implants region and it is highly recommended. The aim of this literature review was to summarize the influences of different potential risk factors on the incidence of late dental implant failure. The protocol for this systematic review was prepared and implemented based on PRISMA guideline – Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.
