ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da expansao lenta na maxila e na mandibula com o aparelho ortodontico removivel superior com torno de expansao simetrico e mediano, nas regioes oclusal, gengival e alveolar de pacientes jovens com atresia maxilar. Metodo: A amostra compreendeu 18 individuos leucodermas (11 meninas e 7 meninos; idade media: 8 anos e 10 meses no inicio do tratamento) que apresentavam atresia da maxila, acompanhadas ou nao de mordida cruzada posterior uni ou bilateral na fase de denticao mista. Todos os pacientes foram tratados com aparelho ortodontico removivel superior com torno de expansao simetrico e mediano, sendo o tempo medio de tratamento de 15,4 meses (ñ 7,6). Para avaliar a influencia do tratamento nas mensuracoes dos pontos demarcados nas regioes oclusal, gengival e alveolar, foram utilizados os modelos de gesso dos arcos superior e inferior (36 pares) obtidos em dois tempos: T1: inicio do tratamento e T2: ao final do tratamento. Para cada paciente em ambos os tempos, foram mensuradas as distancias transversas na regiao oclusal entre caninos deciduos, 1o molares deciduos ou 1o pre-molares permanentes e entre 1§ molares permanentes, superiores e inferiores. Para verificar se a movimentacao ocorreu por inclinacao ou por movimento de corpo, foram utilizadas tambem medidas nas regioes gengival e alveolar. Os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente pelo teste T student para amostras pareadas (5%). Resultados: Observou-se que em T2, todas as distancias mensuradas para as regioes oclusal, gengival e alveolar apresentaram valores estatisticamente superiores as mesmas medidas em T1 (p<0,05). Conclusao: O aparelho ortodontico removivel superior e efetivo nos casos de expansao lenta da maxila, agindo tambem indiretamente nas dimensoes transversas do arco inferior.


Objective: To evaluate the effects of slow maxillary and mandibular expansion using upper removable orthodontic appliance with symmetric and median expanding screw in the occlusal, gingival and alveolar regions of young patients with narrow maxilla. Method: The sample consisted of 18 Caucasian children (11 females and 7 males; mean age at the beginning of treatment: 8 years and 10 months) with narrow maxilla associated or not with unilateral or bilateral posterior crossbite in the mixed dentition phase. All patients were treated during a mean period of 15.4 (ñ 7.6) months with upper removable orthodontic appliances with symmetric and median expanding screw. Maxillary and mandibular cast models (36 pairs) obtained at two moments (T1: beginning of the treatment and T2: end of the treatment) were used to evaluate the influence of the treatment in the measurements of the points demarcated in the occlusal, gingival and alveolar regions. For each patient, the transverse distances in the occlusal region between primary canines, primary first molars and first premolars, and between the permanent maxillary and mandibular molars were measured in ambos times. In order to determine whether the movement occurred due to inclination and translation, measurements in the gingival and alveolar regions were also taken. The obtained data were analyzed statistically by the Students t-test for paired samples at a significance level of 5%. Results: All distances measured for the occlusal, gingival and alveolar regions in T2 presented significantly higher values (p<0.05) than those obtained in T1. Conclusion: The upper removable orthodontic appliance is effective in cases of slow maxillary expansion, also acting indirectly in the transverse dimensions of the mandibular arch.
