Resumo
OBJETIVO: o presente estudo cefalométrico longitudinal investigou as alterações espontâneas ocorridas em crianças com má oclusão Classe II, divisão 1, Padrão II. MÉTODOS: foram selecionadas 40 crianças, 20 meninos e 20 meninas, distribuídas na faixa etária compreendida entre 6 e 14 anos de idade. Para avaliar o comportamento das bases apicais, dos incisivos e do tecido mole, as seguintes grandezas cefalométricas foram mensuradas: SN.Ba, SNA, SNB, SND, SN.Pog, ANB, NAP, SN.PP, SN.GoGn, SN.Gn, Ar.Go.Gn, 1.PP, 1.NA, 1.SN, IMPA e ANL. As seguintes grandezas alcançaram significância estatística com o crescimento: SNB, SND,SN.Pog,ANB,NAP,SN.GoGn,SN.Gn,Ar.Go.Gn e IMPA. RESULTADOS: os resultados demonstraram que as principais alterações quantitativas registradas estavam relacionadas com o crescimento mandibular,independentemente do gênero. A mandíbula deslocou-se para frente, com tendência de rotação no sentido anti-horário e com conseqüente redução nos ângulos de convexidade facial. No entanto, as oscilações quantitativas nas grandezas cefalométricas não foram suficientes para mudar a morfologia dentofacial ao longo do período de acompanhamento. CONCLUSÃO: conclui-se, portanto, que a morfologia facial é definida precocemente e é mantida, configurando o determinismo genético na determinação do arcabouço esquelético.
AIM: The current longitudinal cephalometric study investigated the spontaneous alterations in growing Class II, division 1, Pattern II patients. METHODS: Forty children (twenty boys and twenty girls) with ages ranging between 6 and 14 years were selected to comprise the sample. The behavior of the apical bases, incisors and facial profile was evaluated on the basis of the following cephalometric measurements: SN.Ba, SNA, SNB, SND, SN.Pog, ANB, NAP, SN.GoGn, SN.PP, SN.Gn, Ar.Go.Gn, 1.PP, 1.NA, 1.SN, IMPA and nasolabial angle. The following measurements were statistically significant along growth: SNB, SND, SN.Pog, ANB, NAP, SN.GoGn, SN.Gn, Ar.Go.Gn and IMPA. RESULTS: The results showed that the main quantitative alterations were related to mandibular growth, regardless of gender. The mandible was anteriorly displaced and tended to present a counter-clockwise rotation and consequent decrease in the facial convexity angles. However, the quantitative changes in the cephalometric measurements were not sufficient to change the dentofacial morphology during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Therefore, facial morphology seems to be defined early and does not change along growth.
