To assess the number of occlusal contacts achieved in temporal prosthesesmounted in a semi-adjusted articulator using the facial arch and the Camper plane.
Ten patients treated in a private clinic were selected to be rehabilitated with
prostheses in previously placed single implants. For each patient two temporal
prostheses were designed obtained under different conditions: (1) model mounting
using facial arch and (2) Camper plane mounting. Prostheses were made and
adjusted in the laboratory and placed only by an operator. The occlusal contacts
achieved in each condition were photographed being assessed and quantified by a
second professional not involved with the mounting conditions. Results obtained
were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test with a 5 % significance level. There was not a
statistically difference between the number of occlusal contacts when prostheses
were made with facial arch or Camper plane (p= 0.113). The temporal dental
prosthesis confection for single implants, semi-adjusted articulator using the
Camper plane, not differ very much from the facial arch use, according to the
number of resulting occlusal contacts.
