RESUMO

From the planning to the execution of the tissue-dento-supported prosthesis, the literature presents a range of works standing out the difficulties related to the prosthesis performance when facing distinctive tissues, tooth and fibromucous. These works approach the biomechanical problems and the damages suffered by osseous tissues and teeth under pressure, during the mastication, as well as the difficulties of distribution of the loads on oral tissues in the oclusal-gengival movements. However, this prosthesis also suffers traction forces, in several clinical situations, leading the saddle to move of the fibromucous in a gengival-occlusal movement. The aim of this research was to develop and to test, in a laboratory, a method to improve the tissue-dento-supported prosthesis retention in the fibromucous area reducing the gengival-occlusal movement and allowing a larger stability to the prosthesis and comfort to the patient. In order to accomplish the experiment, a modified acrylic base was confectioned, corresponding to the saddle of the prosthesis and constituted by a small channel in the fibromucous contact area. This channel was filled out with soft reliner for prosthesis, silicon composed. Afterwards, the base was rebased in the resilient model, especially confectioned to simulate the fibromucous. A metallic stem was fixed in two extremities, being one to the acrylic base, and other extremity fixed to the equipment arbor used for the traction (Versa-Test). With the base positioned on the model, the pressure movements and traction were accomplished. The evaluation of the tests was accomplished in the conventional acrylic base (without channel) and in the modified acrylic base, whose values were registered in Newton. The acrylic bases on the models were immersed in the vegetable oil, due to the necessary viscous condition, with superficial tension, making possible the adhesion phenomena. The results demonstrated that in the presence of silicon was necessary a larger and statistically significant traction force to remove the base of the model in relation to the base without silicon.
