Desenvolvimento de um protótipo virtual de dispositivo customizado para auxiliar na estabilização passiva da cabeça de pessoas com distúrbio neuropsicomotor durante o atendimento odontológico

Abstract

Objective: To develop in software a virtual prototype of a customized device that assists in the passive stabilization of people with neuropsychomotor disorder during dental treatment. Methodology: The proposed study was an experimental research, which for the stage of requirements gathering and to evaluate the feasibility of the device had the formation of a multidisciplinary team composed of a dentist specialist in PNE, a graphic designer, added to a materials engineer and a technician in dental equipment. Previous research was done in the databases, as well as the reading of the articles that helped to support the knowledge necessary for the development of this research. After acquisition of images of the guide device, all the characteristics for performing the prototype were listed and forwarded to the computer graphics laboratory to be developed a design of the same in the AutoCAD Software- version 2019. Data analysis was performed by coupling the product to a dental chair and this action was documented through photos. Results: It is expected that from the execution of this project, the prototype developed can complement the containment methods that already exist and that are widely used by professionals who care for patients with neuropsychomotor disorder. Conclusions: The present study was concluded with the preparation of a guide device and consequent software development of a virtual prototype of a customized device to assist in the passive stabilization of the head of people with Neuropsychomotor Disorder during dental care. The Customized Device will result in in the future, in numerous benefits for both individuals and oral health team professionals with the proposal to reduce working time, the occurrence of injuries during treatment and the completion of procedures with quality and efficiency. It will be an unprecedented stabilization equipment because it is the only one to contain the patient's head during dental treatment, with the advantage of complementing the passive stabilization of existing equipment on the market
