Resumo
O objetivo nesta pesquisa foi analisar os resultados obtidos comparativamente entre as telerradiografias cefalométricas laterais convencional, digital e as geradas pela tomografia computadorizada por aquisição volumétrica Cone Beam (CBTC). Foram realizadas distintamente as três tomadas radiográficas em 35 pacientes que estavam compreendidos na faixa etária de 12 a 14 anos. Foram utilizados dois programas específicos para a realização das análises cefalométricas de Rickets, McNamara e Jarabak, sendo utilizadas medidas lineares e angulares dos traçados. Apenas no traçado de Jarabak, foram utilizadas duas medidas lineares, para todas as outras, foi usada somente uma mensuração. Quatro tipos de exames radiográficos associados aos programas de análise cefalométrica foram utilizados. Por considerar o melhor resultado nos valores obtidos, a variável de referência foi a aquisição volumétrica CBTC em norma ortogonal, sendo comparado com os outros métodos. Verificou-se que os resultados obtidos pelas medidas angulares apresentaram menor variabilidade, enquanto as medidas lineares somente no traçado cefalométrico de McNamara obteve-se similaridade das variáveis. Observou-se que as técnicas radiográficas cefalométricas laterais convencionais apresentaram as maiores discrepâncias em relação à variável de referência. As análises cefalométricas realizadas pelo mesmo programa obtiveram os melhores resultados. Concluiu-se que para a obtenção de análises cefalométricas mais fidedignas deve-se utilizar um mesmo programa de avaliação e a tecnologia digital, principalmente a aquisição volumétrica CBTC em norma ortogonal e a telerradiografia cefalométrica lateral digital.
The aim of this research was to analyze the results obtained comparatively among digital and conventional lateral cephalometric teleradiographies and the ones generated by Cone Beam volume computerized tomography (CBCT). Three distinct radiographies were performed in 35 patients in a 12 to 14 year-old group. Two specific programs were used to perform the cephalometric analysis according to Ricketts, McNamara and Jarabak, using linear and angular measurements of tracings. Two linear measurements were used just for Jarabak’s tracing, for all the others only one measurement was used. Four types of radiographic exams associated to the cephalometric analysis program were used. For considering the best result in the obtained values, the variable of reference was the volume acquisition (CBCT) being compared to the other methods. It was verified that the results obtained by angular measurements presented less variability, while the linear measurements only in McNamara’s cephalometric tracing presented similarity of variables. It was observed that the conventional lateral cephalometric radiography techniques presented bigger discrepancies in relation to the variable of reference. The cephalometric analysis performed by the same evaluation program had the best results. It was concluded that in order to obtain more reliable cephalometric analysis, one should use the same evaluation program and digital technology, particularly the volume acquisition (CBCT) in octagonal norm and digital lateral cephalometric teleradiography.
