Abstract

Background: the previous guide becomes a difficult tool for those who make incursions into procedures of rehabilitation, but there is no instrument to examine it with teaching and assistance purposes.
Objective: to develop a classifying instrument for the clinical exam of occlusion previous guide.
Methods: a descriptive study was conducted at Ismael Clark Mascaro dental clinic of Camagüey from September 2015 to February 2016. The universe of study was composed of the 196 partial toothless patients who were discharged from the primary level of attention, and who needed of denture rehabilitation. The non-probabilistic sample was constituted by all the people who had the inclusion requirements, 150 patients. The investigation was carried out in three stages: classification, getting information and confrontation.
Results: generally, 58% of the patients did not present morphological integrity of the previous guide. The interferences prevailed in 70 % of the patients in a severe way. On the other hand, 62 % of the examined patients with a dysfunctional previous guide had a curve of marked compensation. The vertical occlusive dimension stands out within the established parameters with the inadequate previous guide in 60 % of the patients.
Conclusions: the lack of morphological integrity of the previous guide was highlighted. The severe dental interferences were the most numerous. Wilson marked curve and the vertical occlusive dimension within the established parameters prevailed in most of the patients with the dysfunctional previous guide.
