Abstract

Introduction: The occlusal parafunctions do not belong to the group of physiological functions such as speech,
breathing, chewing and swallowing. The parafunction associated with clenching of the teeth is known as bruxism. In this
state as therapeutic measurements success can be achieved using specially designed dentures.
Objective: is producing specially designed dentures in patients with occlusal parafunction - bruxism.
Material and methods: As a material for work 22 patients with nocturnal bruxism and partial edentulousness
were diagnosed, monitored, analyzed and treated. They were divided into 2 groups: 11 patients treated with prosthetic
constructions and specially designed dentures and 11 patients that were not treated (control group).
Results and Discussion: The results obtained from studies in patients with occlusal parafunctions, recognize
the need of producing specially designed dentures. In terms of bruxism and partial edentulousness, they help in keeping
the health of the remaining teeth and periodontal complex, as well as in prevention of the fixed constructions. They have
positive effect in decreasing the symptoms felt by patients located on the teeth, muscles and temporomandibular joint
(TMJ).
Conclusion: By making the appropriate prosthetic plan for taking care of patients in state of nocturnal bruxism,
specially designed dentures support the treatment of patients, resulting in improved quality of life.
