RESUMO

The aim of this research was to evaluate changes in the mandible position, in sagittal plane (anteroposterior) and in frontal plane, using computerized electrognathography (K6-I Diagnostic System, Myotronics Co, U.S.A.) in patients who suffer from functional changes in the stomatognathic system, treated with modified flat occlusal surface appliances (guidances on incisors and canines). The random sample was composed of 15 patients submitted to examinations foreseen on the CETASE (Center of Studies and Treatment of stomatognathic System Alterations) history chart, to confirm variables for inclusion and for exclusion on the sample, including patients suffering from degenerative changes. The evaluations were taken before the appliances were set and within 30,60,90 and 120 days after. The results showed that the free-way space had an statistically significant difference higher on behalf of time treatment.
