Abstract
Background: Obesity is a global public health challenge, closely related with the progression of other diseases. In recent years, odontology has intervened against obesity through the implementation of intraoral devices that contribute with weight control treatments.
Objective: To study the use of a dental occlusal disruptor as a strategy to moderate caloric intake.
Material and methods: Pilot study which included 2 patients. It was used a dental occlusal disruptor that has an impact on the smaller amount of food at each bite. Patients attended five appointments in which a stomatological evaluation was carried out and anthropometric measurements were taken. All adverse effects were reported in each patient’s clinical history.
Results: Patients presented weight and body fat loss, increased muscle mass and decreased both body mass index and waist and hip measurements.
Conclusions: The use of the disruptor does not alter the stomatological assessment, it promotes masticatory regulation and the decrease in body weight. It is necessary to analyze its use in a larger number of patients.
