RESUMO

Historically a total loss of teeth impairs the functional performance of the affected population. Concerned about this reality, the Dentistry has created rehabilitation methods for those toothless individuals. Among the most popular methods is the Fully Removable Prosthesis, which although widely used, does not represent the ideal of a buccal rehabilitation. Subsequently to the dental implants proposed by Bränemark, the association between the fully mandibular prosthesis and mandibular anterior area implants, enabled a new concept of treatment for the toothless, providing them with a prosthetic apparatus attached to implanted fixations. Longitudinal multicentered studies validated this therapeutical concept, but objective evaluations are made necessary, especially on their influence on the stomatognatic system. The Branemark protocol optimizes the previously harmed kinesthetic capacity of the toothless. The scientific method that can support this is the electromyography of the surface. Largely used in other segments of medicine, the electromyography has been used in this study to evaluate a protocol of functional simulations, such as: relaxation, triturating of foods with different textures, jaw movements, to compare adults with natural teeth (controlled group) and individuals rehabilitated by the Branemark Protocol. In conclusion, the use of Branemark Protocol generated equilibrium of the electromyography activity of the tested muscles during the postural positions and propitiated electromyographyc contraction standards similar to the standards developed by normally toothed individuals during chewing.
