Study of a New Technique to Improve the Symptoms of Orofacial Discomfort in Patients With Peripheral Facial Paralysis

Plain-language summary

* The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Neuro Occlusal Rehabilitation (RNO) in patients with peripheral facial palsy (PFP) disease, noting the decrease in symptoms of masticatory dysfunction. * According to Carvalho (2009) patients with PFP have chronic unilateral masticatory preference. Santos et al. (2009) in the same year noted that these conditions can lead to problems with temporomandibular disorder. * Hypothesis- known that performing occlusal adjustment in these patients with chronic PFP, ensuring a maximum of dental contacts and a final stop of the masticatory cycle stable, providing a balanced occlusion. * dental cleaning was performed in two groups for the blind study * visual analog scale -To assess the quality of the oral functions of these patients, the investigators applied the visual analog scale(VAS) and statistically evaluated the degree of satisfaction regarding the functions of oro facial in relation to mastication and temporomandibular dysfunction. * gnathostatic models were made in the treatment group in the first and last query. * occlusal adjustment in treatment group.In the group treated occlusal adjustment was made in the teeth and applied a new (VAS) before and after treatment. The RNO, is defined as a part of medicine that operates in stomatology occlusal plane as a guide to a harmonious development of the face, chewing facilitating bilateral and alternating. (Planas, 1997). It works through selective grinding on the occlusal platform, providing an increased number of dental contacts.
