Resumo
Enquanto os efeitos dos aparelhos ortopédicos funcionais sobre as dimensões ântero-posterior e vertical vêm sendo amplamente estudados, o efeito sobre a dimensão transversal é um campo limitado e pouco explorado. A presença de escudos vestibulares, a pressão muscular, tração periostal e o reposicionamento lingual são alguns dos tópicos que podem influenciar o crescimento transversal da maxila e mandíbula. Vários estudos mostram uma alteração transversal dos arcos dentários, como resposta da terapia com o aparelho funcional. Baseado em uma revisão sistemática da literatura esse trabalho teve como objetivo: 1) avaliar os mecanismo de ação dos aparelhos e a influência sobre a dimensão transversal e 2) resumir os efeitos clínicos de diferentes aparelhos funcionais sobre a dimensão transversal.
While the effects of functional appliances on the antero-posterior and vertical dimensions have been well studied, the literature pertaining to their transverse effects is limited and has not previously been synthesized. Buccal muscular pressure, periostal traction, and tongue repositioning are some of the proposed mechanisms by which transverse jaw dimensions could change during treatment. Various studies have reported transverse dental arch changes, but the effects appear to be dependent on the functional appliance used. Based on a systematic review of the literature, the purpouse of this paper are: 1) evaluated the proposed mechanisms that influence the transverse dimensions during treatment and 2) summarizes the clinical effects of various functional appliances on transverse jaw dimensions.
