Resumo

Clinicians can find patients with one mandibular remaining tooth, and it is difficult to decide if the tooth has to be removed. When a clinician decide to maintaining the tooth, it is common to feel doubts about masticatory load distribution divided between the tooth and implant. This paper reports a clinical case of patient with an implant/tooth-supported overdenture and elucidates the masticatory efficiency by electromyography activity analysis. The objective of this case report was to describe a clinical case of a patient with an implant/tooth-supported overdenture and to discuss the muscle response to this treatment. Electrical activities of the masseter and anterior temporal surfaces at maximum voluntary contraction were evaluated by electromyography during pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, 15 and 60 days after installation. When patient has one remaining tooth in good condition, the implant/tooth-supported overdenture can be recommended, to preserve the periodontal ligament and proprioception, and to minimize bone loss. Electromyography analysis showed that implant/tooth-supported overdenture is a viable treatment alternative, in muscular standpoint, when the patient has a remaining tooth with good osseous support.
