ABSTRACT

Aim: to evaluate the surgical effects of two rehabilitation protocols on dental arch occlusion of 5-year-old children with or without cleft lip and palate. Methods: this is a retrospective longitudinal study the sample comprised 45 digitized dental casts divided into followed groups: Group 1 (G1) ­ children who underwent to cheiloplasty (Millard technique) at 3 months and to one-stage palatoplasty (von Langenbeck technique) at 12 months; Group 2 (G2) ­ children who underwent to cheiloplasty (Millard technique) and two-stage palatoplasty (Hans Pichler technique for hard palate closure) at 3 months and at 12 months to soft palate closure (Sommerlad technique); and Group 3 (G3) ­ children without craniofacial anomalies. Linear measurements, area, and occlusion were evaluated by stereophotogrammetry software. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify normality. ANOVA followed by posthoc Tukey test and Kruskal-Wallis followed by posthoc Dunn tests were used to compared groups. Results: For the measures intercanine distance (C-C'), anterior length of dental arch (I-CC'), and total length of the dental arch (I­MM'), there were statistical differences between G1x G3 and G2xG3, the mean was smaller for G1 and G2. No statistically significant differences occurred in the intermolar distance and in the dental arch area among groups. The occlusion analysis revealed significant difference in the comparison of the three groups (p=0.0004). Conclusion: The surgical effects of two rehabilitation protocols affected the occlusion and the development of the anterior region of the maxilla of children with oral clefts when compared to children without oral clefts.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The use of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) to correct gummy smile has become popular in recent years. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of BTX-A application in the correction of gummy smile 2 and 32 weeks after application. METHODS: The sample comprised 35 patients (30 female, 5 male) at a mean age of 25.51 years (±5.59) with gummy smile due to muscular hyperfunction. In each patient, 2U of botulinum toxin was applied in the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, 2 mm from the nasolabial fold. Photographs of spontaneous smiles were taken at 3 stages: before, 2 and 32 weeks after BTX application. Measurements of the gingival display were performed with the Radioface Studio 2 Software, and the calibration used the actual size of the right maxillary central incisor. Comparison of the three stages evaluated was performed with repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey tests. RESULTS: Gingival display decreased significantly 2 weeks after BTX-A application and increased after 32 weeks but did not return to the initial value. CONCLUSION: There was a significant improvement in gummy smile 2 weeks after botulinum toxin application, and a significant relapse in the gingival display after 32 weeks, however not returning to baseline values.


INTRODUÇÃO: A toxina botulínica tipo A (BTX-A) tem se tornado popular na correção do sorriso gengival nos últimos anos. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os efeitos da aplicação de BTX-A na correção do sorriso gengival 2 e 32 semanas após a aplicação. MÉTODOS: A amostra compreendeu 35 pacientes (30 mulheres, 5 homens) com uma idade inicial média 25,51 anos (±5,59) portadores de sorriso gengival devido à hiperfunção muscular. Em cada paciente foi aplicado 2U de BTX-A no músculo elevador superior da asa do nariz, 2 mm a partir da dobra nasolabial. Foram feitas fotografias dos sorrisos espontâneos dos pacientes em 3 fases: antes, 2 e 32 semanas após a aplicação de BTX-A. As medidas da exposição gengival foram feitas com o Software Radioface Studio 2, e a calibração utilizou o tamanho real do incisive central superior direito.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Oral cleft surgical repairs are performed using different techniques worldwide. Objective To evaluate and compare the development of the dental arches of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate before and after the primary surgeries performed with different techniques at the first months and six years of life. Methodology This is a retrospective longitudinal study. The sample comprised 56 dental casts divided int the following groups: Group 1 (G1) - cheiloplasty (Millard technique) at three months and one-step palatoplasty (von Langenbeck technique) at 12 months; and Group 2 (G2) - cheiloplasty (Millard technique) and two-step palatoplasty: anterior hard palate closure (Hans Pichler technique) at three months and posterior soft palate closure (Sommerlad technique) at 12 months. The digitized dental casts were evaluated at three months - pre-surgical (T1) and six years of life- post-surgical (T2). The following linear measurements were analyzed: intercanine (C-C'), intertuberosity (T-T') distances; anterior dental arch (I-CC'), anterior intersegment (I-C'), and total arch (I-TT') lengths. The palate area was also measured. Parametric and non-parametric tests were applied (p<0.05). Results In G1, the intragroup comparison showed statistically significant smaller I-CC' and I-C' at T2 (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively), while T-T', I-TT', and area comparisons were significantly greater (p<0.001, p=0.002, and p<0.001, respectively). In G2, the intragroup comparison exhibited statistically significant smaller C-C' and I-C' at T2 (p=0.004, for both), whereas T-T', I-TT' and area comparisons were significantly greater (p<0.001, p=0.004, and p<0.001, respectively). At T2, the intergroup analysis revealed that G1 had a statistically significant smaller I-CC' (p=0.014). The analysis of the intergroup differences (∆=T2-T1) showed that G1 had a statistically smaller I-CC' (p=0.043). Conclusion The two-step palatoplasty showed a more favorable prognosis for the maxillary growth than one-step palatoplasty in children with oral clefts.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Compare the palatal volume in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate before and after two surgical protocols. Material and Methods: Retrospective data collection was performed in a specialized hospital. The sample comprised 120 digitized dental models divided into, Group 1 (G1) ­ participants submitted to cheiloplasty at 3 months (Millard technique) and one-step palatoplasty at 12 months (von Langenbeck technique); Group 2 (G2) ­ participants submitted to cheiloplasty (Millard technique) and hard palate closure (Hans Pichler technique) at 3 months and soft palate closure at 12 months (Sommerlad technique). The dental models were evaluated at Time 1 (T1): before primary plastic surgeries, Time 2 (T2): 1st post-surgical phase, and Time 3 (T3): 2nd post-surgical phase. The volume was measured through stereophotogrammetry system software. Parametric and non-parametric statistical tests were applied (α=5%). Results: The intragroup analysis revealed that G1 had a statistically significant increase in volume at T2 followed by a reduction at T3 (p=0.003); G2 showed a statistically significant increase of dental arch volume between T1 and T2 (p=0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the intergroup and gender analyses (p>0.05). Conclusion: The surgical protocol influenced the palatal volume of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate. This study suggested that two-step palatoplasty protocol has a tendency to be more appropriate.(AU)


Objetivo: Comparar o volume palatino em crianças com fissura unilateral de lábio e palato antes e após dois protocolos cirúrgicos. Material e Métodos: A coleta de dados retrospectiva foi efetuada em um hospital especializado. A amostra foi composta por 120 modelos dentários digitalizados divididos em, Grupo 1 (G1) ­ participantes submetidos a queiloplastia aos 3 meses de vida (técnida de Millard) e a palatoplastia em única etapa aos 12 meses (técnica de von Langenbeck); Grupo 2 (G2) ­ participantes submetidos a queiloplastia (técnica de Millard) e fechamento do palato duro (técnica de Hans Pichler) aos 3 meses de vida e fechamento do palate mole aos 12 meses (técnica de Sommerlad). Os modelos dentários foram avaliados em Tempo 1 (T1): antes das cirurgias plásticas primárias, Tempo 2 (T2):1ª fase pós-cirúrgica e Tempo 3 (T3): 2ª fase pós-cirúrgico. O volume foi mensurado por meio do software do sistema de estereofotogrametria. Testes estatísticos paramétricos e não-paramétricos foram utilizados (α=5%). Resultados: As análises intragrupos indicaram que G1 apresentou aumento estatisticamente significante em T2 seguido de redução em T3 (p=0.003). G2 apresentou crescimento estatisticamente significativo do volume palatino entre T1 e T2 (p=0.001). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante nas análises intergrupos e entre gêneros (p>0.05). Conclusão: O protocolo cirúrgico influenciou o volume palatino das crianças com fissura unilateral de lábio e palato.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the facial profile attractiveness of Class II patients treated with Twin Force® or intermaxillary elastics. Methods: Sample comprised 47 Class II patients divided into two groups: G1) TWIN FORCE - 25 patients treated with fixed appliances and Twin Force® fixed functional appliance (mean initial age was 17.91 ± 7.13 years, mean final age was 20.45 ± 7.18 years, and mean treatment time was 2.53 ± 0.83 years); G2) ELASTICS - 22 patients treated with fixed appliances and Class II intermaxillary elastics (mean initial age was 15.87 ± 5.64 years, mean final age was 18.63 ± 5.79 years and mean treatment time was 2.75 ± 0.60 years). Lateral cephalograms from pretreatment and posttreatment were used. Cephalometric variables were measured and silhouettes of facial profile were constructed and evaluated by 48 laypeople and 63 orthodontists, rating the attractiveness from 0 (most unattractive profile) to 10 (most attractive profile). Intergroup comparisons were performed with Mann-Whitney and independent t-tests. Results: At pretreatment, facial profile of the Twin Force® group was less attractive than the Elastics group. Treatment with Twin Force® or Class II elastics resulted in similar facial profile attractiveness, but the facial convexity was more reduced in the Twin Force® group. Orthodontists were more critical than laypeople. Conclusions: Treatment with Twin Force® or Class II elastics produced similar facial profile attractiveness at posttreatment. Profile attractiveness was reduced with treatment in the elastic group, and improved in the Twin Force® group. Facial convexity was more reduced with treatment in the Twin Force® group.


RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar a atratividade do perfil facial em pacientes Classe II tratados com Twin Force® ou elásticos intermaxilares. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 47 pacientes Classe II divididos em dois grupos: G1 - Twin Force® (25 pacientes tratados com aparelhos fixos e o aparelho funcional Twin Force®; idade inicial média de 17,91 ± 7,13 anos, idade final média de 20,45 ± 7,18 anos, e tempo médio de tratamento de 2,53 ± 0,83 anos); G2 - Elásticos (22 pacientes tratados com aparelhos fixos e elásticos intermaxilares de Classe II, idade inicial média de 15,87 ± 5,64 anos, idade final média de 18,63 ± 5,79 anos, e tempo médio de tratamento de 2,75 ± 0,60 anos). Foram usadas telerradiografias laterais pré- e pós-tratamento. As variáveis cefalométricas foram mensuradas, e silhuetas do perfil facial foram construídas e avaliadas por 48 leigos e 63 ortodontistas, que pontuaram a atratividade entre 0 (perfil menos atraente) e 10 (perfil mais atraente). As comparações intergrupos foram realizadas com os testes Mann-Whitney e t de Student para amostras independentes. Resultados: Na fase pré-tratamento, o perfil facial no grupo Twin Force® foi menos atrativo do que no grupo Elásticos. Os tratamentos com o Twin Force® ou com Elásticos de Classe II resultaram em atratividade semelhante do perfil facial, mas a convexidade facial foi mais reduzida no grupo Twin Force®. Os ortodontistas foram mais críticos do que os leigos. Conclusões: Apesar de os tratamentos com o Twin Force® ou com Elásticos de Classe II terem resultado em atratividade semelhante do perfil facial após o tratamento, a atratividade do perfil foi reduzida com o tratamento no grupo Elásticos e melhorou no grupo Twin Force®. A convexidade facial foi mais reduzida com o tratamento no grupo Twin Force®.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the attractiveness of different types of esthetic orthodontic wires by laypeople and dentists. Methods: Five different types of orthodontic wires were evaluated: three esthetic wires (Teflon-coated, epoxy resin-coated and rhodium-coated wires), and two metallic wires (stainless steel and NiTi), as control. Monocrystalline ceramic brackets were installed in the maxillary arch of a patient presenting good dental alignment. The five evaluated wires were attached to the orthodontic appliance with an esthetic silicone elastic and photographed. The photographs were evaluated by 163 individuals, 110 dentists and 53 laypeople. The data were statistically evaluated by two-way ANOVA and one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey tests. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the attractiveness among the wires evaluated; the most esthetic was the rhodium-coated wire, followed by the epoxy resin-coated wire and, finally, the Teflon-coated wire, with no significant difference from the stainless steel and NiTi control archwires. There was no significant difference between the groups of evaluators. Conclusion: The most attractive was the rhodium-coated wire, followed by the epoxy resin-coated wire and, finally, the least attractive wire was the Teflon-coated wire, without statistically significant difference to the stainless steel and NiTi wires, used as control.


RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a atratividade de diferentes tipos de fios ortodônticos estéticos, na opinião de leigos e dentistas. Métodos: Foram avaliados cinco tipos diferentes de fios ortodônticos: três fios estéticos (revestidos com teflon, revestidos com resina epóxi e revestidos com ródio) e dois fios metálicos (aço inoxidável e NiTi), como grupo controle. Braquetes de cerâmica monocristalina foram instalados na arcada superior de uma paciente com bom alinhamento dentário, e os cinco fios avaliados foram fixados ao aparelho ortodôntico com ligadura elástica estética de silicone e fotografados. As fotografias foram avaliadas por 163 indivíduos, sendo 110 dentistas e 53 leigos. Os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente pelos testes ANOVA a um e a dois critérios, seguidos pelo teste de Tukey. Resultados: Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na atratividade entre os fios avaliados. O mais estético foi o fio revestido de ródio, seguido pelo fio revestido de resina epóxica e, finalmente, o fio revestido de teflon, sem diferença significativa entre os fios de aço inoxidável e os de NiTi. Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos de avaliadores. Conclusão: O mais atraente foi o fio revestido de ródio, seguido pelo fio revestido de resina epóxica e, finalmente, o fio menos atraente foi o fio revestido de teflon, sem diferença estatisticamente significativa para os fios de aço inoxidável e os de NiTi, utilizados como controle.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The present study sought to evaluate the impact of quarantine resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on dental appointments and patients' positions and concerns regarding their ongoing dental treatment. Patients from private dental clinics answered an online questionnaire anonymously regarding their treatment, availability and willingness to attend dental appointments, and concerns about contamination. Descriptive statistics of the responses were performed with percentages and responses were compared between sexes, regions, and other aspects using the chi-squared test. Five hundred ninety-five patients (412 females and 183 males; mean age: 38.21 years) answered the questionnaire. Most patients reported they were receiving dental treatment (orthodontics) and would attend to a dental appointment; meanwhile, those patients not receiving treatment would not attend or would visit only in the case of an emergency. Males reported to be calmer than females, who were more anxious and afraid; as such, males reported more willing to go a dental appointment while, in general, females were not worried about how quarantine could affect dental treatment. Patients actively undergoing treatment and orthodontic patients were more concerned about a delay in treatment. There was a significant association between feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of willingness to attend a dental appointment. The quarantine recommended due to the COVID-19 pandemic was shown to have an impact on dental appointments and the anxiety levels of patients, since there was a significant association between patients' feelings and their willingness to attend a dental appointment. Overall, patients undergoing dental treatment and orthodontics were more willing to attend an appointment and were more concerned about an increase in treatment duration.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To compare changes in WALA ridge and mandibular dental arch dimensions in orthodontic patients treated with a passive self-ligating system and conventional appliances. Design: Original paper. Setting: Orthodontic department at Inga University Center, Maringá, PR, Brazil. Materials and Methods: Pretreatment (T1) and posttreatment (T2) dental casts of 60 patients with Class I malocclusion treated with slight to moderate crowding that were divided into two groups. Group 1: 30 patients treated with a passive self-ligating system, at a mean initial age of 17.68 years and mean treatment time of 2.31 years. Group 2: 30 patients treated with conventional appliances, at a mean initial age of 19.23 years and mean treatment time of 2.56 years. Measurements were taken using a digital caliper directly on pre and posttreatment dental casts to evaluate the transversal dimension behavior of the mandibular dental arch and the WALA ridge width. Results: Self-ligating group presented an increase in WALA ridge width and mandibular transversal dimensions significantly greater than the conventional group, with the exception of intermolar cusp tip distance and intercanine WALA ridge. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups. There was also observed a significantly greater increase of the transversal buccal axis dimensions in the premolar area when compared to the WALA ridge increase in both groups. Conclusions: Treatment with a passive self-ligating system resulted in a significantly greater increase of the WALA ridge width and mandibular arch dimensions when compared to conventional appliance.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Class II malocclusions have several treatment protocols, and we are increasingly moving towards more conservative orthodontics, avoiding dental extractions whenever possible. A great alternative for treatment in standard II patients has been the use of mandibular protraction appliance, which promote correction of this malocclusion. In the article in question will be reported the use of the Twin Force Bite Corrector appliance in the correction of a unilateral class II. Objective: case report of malocclusion with mandibular propellant. Method: One-phase treatment with the use of a fixed orthodontic appliance associated with a fixed mandibular propulsion orthopedic appliance, Twin Force Bite Corrector (TFBC). Result and Conclusion: The treatment was able to promote the reduction of the overjet, obtaining a stable Class I molar and canine relationship with coincident midlines and the improvement of the soft tissue profile.


Introdução: As más oclusões de classe II apresentam diversos protocolos de tratamento, sendo que a cada dia mais estamos caminhando para uma ortodontia mais conservadora, fugindo sempre que possível de extrações dentárias. Uma ótima alternativa para o tratamento em pacientes padrão II tem sido o uso de propulsores mandibulares, que promovem uma correção dessa má oclusão. No artigo em questão, será relatado o uso do aparelho Twin Force Bite Corrector na correção de uma classe II unilateral. Objetivo: relato de caso de má oclusão com uso de propulsor mandibular. Método: tratamento em uma fase com a utilização de aparelho ortodôntico fixo associado a um aparelho ortopédico fixo de propulsão mandibular, Twin Force Bite Corrector (TFBC). Resultado e Conclusão: O tratamento foi capaz de promover a redução do overjet, obtenção de uma relação Classe I molar e canina estável com linhas médias coincidentes e a melhora do perfil do tecido mole.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the smile attractiveness of different gingival zeniths by general dentists, orthodontists and laypersons and the esthetic perception in the symmetric and asymmetric changes in gingival zeniths. Methods: Posed photographs of five patients were taken and digitally manipulated in Keynote software, in the gingival zenith region, in increments of 0.5 to 1mm in maxillary central and lateral incisors, symmetrically and asymmetrically, in nine different ways for each patient. The photos were then uploaded to a website, where evaluators (general dentists, orthodontists and laypersons) could observe and vote according to their esthetic perception, scoring from 1 to 10, 1 being the least attractive and 10 the more attractive. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used for comparison. Results: Asymmetric gingival zeniths were less attractive than symmetrical gingival zeniths; gingival zenith differences greater than 1mm were perceptible in the smile attractiveness, both by laypersons, general dentists and orthodontists. When comparing maxillary central incisors with maxillary lateral incisors, the aesthetic change performed in the central incisors are more perceptible than those performed in lateral incisors, both symmetrical and asymmetrical. In a general way, orthodontists and general dentists are more critical in the evaluation and perception of gingival zenith changes, with the laypersons perceiving this change only from 1mm of maxillary right central incisor asymmetrical change. Conclusions: Asymmetric gingival zeniths are less attractive than symmetrical ones. Gingival zenith differences greater than 1mm are perceptible in the smile attractiveness. Orthodontists and general dentists are more critical in evaluating smile esthetics.


RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a atratividade e a percepção estética do sorriso com alterações simétricas e assimétricas dos zênites gengivais, por leigos, dentistas e ortodontistas. Métodos: foram tiradas fotografias posadas de cinco pacientes, de forma padronizada. Cada fotografia foi digitalmente manipulada no software Keynote, na região do zênite gengival, em incrementos de 0,5 a 1 mm, nos incisivos centrais e laterais superiores, de maneira simétrica e assimétrica, de nove formas diferentes para cada paciente. Posteriormente, essas fotografias foram dispostas em um website para que os avaliadores pudessem observá-las e, conforme sua percepção estética, dessem notas de 1 a 10, sendo 1 para pouco atrativa e 10 para muito atrativa. Foram utilizados os testes Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney para as comparações. Resultados: os zênites gengivais assimétricos foram considerados menos atrativos do que os simétricos. Diferenças entre os zênites gengivais maiores que 1 mm foram perceptíveis na atratividade do sorriso por todos os grupos de avaliadores. Quando comparados os incisivos centrais e laterais superiores, as alterações estéticas feitas nos incisivos centrais foram mais perceptíveis do que as feitas nos laterais, tanto as simétricas quanto as assimétricas. Os ortodontistas e os clínicos gerais foram mais críticos ao avaliar e perceber as alterações, com os leigos percebendo essa mudança somente a partir de 1 mm de alteração assimétrica no incisivo central superior direito. Conclusões: zênites gengivais assimétricos são menos atrativos do que os simétricos. Diferenças nos zênites maiores que 1 mm são perceptíveis na atratividade do sorriso. Ortodontistas e clínicos gerais são mais críticos ao avaliar sorrisos.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study aimed at monitoring the maxillary growth of children with cleft lip/palate in the first two years of life, and to evaluate the effects of primary surgeries on dental arch dimensions. The sample consisted of the three-dimensional digital models of 25 subjects with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and 29 subjects with isolated cleft palate (CP). Maxillary arch dimensions were measured at 3 months (before lip repair), 1 year (before palate repair), and at 2 years of age. Student’s ttest was used for comparison between the groups. Repeated measures ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test was used to compare different treatment phases in the UCLP group. Paired ttest was used to compare different treatment phases in the CP group. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Decreased intercanine distance and anterior arch length were observed after lip repair in UCLP. After palate repair, maxillary dimensions increased significantly, except for the intercanine distance in UCLP and the intertuberosity distance in both groups. At the time of palate repair and at two years of age, the maxillary dimensions were very similar in both groups. It can be concluded that the maxillary arches of children with UCLP and CP changed as a result of primary surgery.

O presente relato clínico apresenta uma alternativa para o tratamento da discrepância dos tamanhos dentários entre os arcos com ênfase em conceitos estéticos. Considerando a queixa principal do paciente, optou-se pelo tratamento sem extrações com o intuito de corrigir a discrepância dentária e restabelecer a oclusão adequada. A técnica de desgaste dentário associada ao acréscimo de material resinoso seguiu os conceitos da proporção áurea. O tratamento de escolha, embora não tenha proporcionado alterações no selamento labial, proporcionou melhora oclusal, assim como uma agradável estética dos dentes e boa harmonia da face ao final da correção.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O aumento no número de pacientes adultos na clínica ortodôntica faz com que o profissional se depare com más oclusões causadas pela perda de um ou mais elementos dentários. Frequentemente são observadas extrusões de dentes antagonistas impossibilitando total ou parcialmente a reabilitação protética da região. A utilização de dispositivos de ancoragem temporária fixa abrange diversas mecânicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever um caso clínico de uma paciente adulta, com necessidade de reabilitação protética e extrusão do elemento 46, devido à perda de seu antagonista, em que foi realizada a intrusão por meio de dois mini-implantes com resultados bastante satisfatórios. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Os elásticos intermaxilares promovem a correção da Classe II por meio de efeitos dentoalveolares. Portanto conhecer os efeitos provocados na utilização dos elásticos intermaxilares é imprescindível para obtenção de melhores resultados, de forma a se favorecer dos efeitos ocorridos ou ainda controlar a movimentação não desejada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar o tratamento de uma má oclusão de ¾ de Classe II utilizando elásticos intermaxilares. Por meio de um minucioso diagnóstico e adequado controle da mecânica ortodôntica foi possível observar correção satisfatória da má oclusão inicial.(AU)


The intermaxillary elastics promote a Class II correction through dentoalveolar effects. Therefore to know the effects caused by the use of intermaxillary elastics is essential to obtain better results, in order to benefit from the effects or to control unwanted movement. The aim of this study was to report the treatment of a Class II malocclusion using intermaxillary elastics. Through a meticulous diagnosis and adequate control of orthodontic mechanics it was possible to observe a satisfactory correction of the initial malocclusion.(AU)

ABSTRACT

A biprotrusão dentoalveolar é caracterizada pelo posicionamento mais anterior dos incisivos superiores e inferiores, o que traz como consequência um selamento labial deficiente e um perfil convexo, comprometendo a estética facial do paciente e fazendo com que este busque no tratamento ortodôntico a sua correção. O plano de tratamento destes casos, na sua maioria, envolve a realização de extrações, porém, quando já previamente ao tratamento o paciente apresenta ausências dentárias, o planejamento é simplificado, já que a retração anterior necessária pode ser direcionada para estes espaços sem que haja necessidade de extrações nestas regiões. O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar um caso clínico que promoveu a correção da biprotrusão e, consequentemente, da estética do sorriso e facial da paciente, através da realização da exodontia de apenas dois primeiros pré-molares superiores e retração anteroinferior redirecionada para os espaços já existentes, em consequência da perda do molar inferior esquerdo e devido à agenesia do incisivo lateral inferior direito. Além disso, no controle de sete anos pós-tratamento, observou-se estabilidade oclusal e manutenção da estética facial.


Dental biprotrusion is characterized by greater buccal tipping of the upper and lower incisors, rendering poor lip closure and convex profile, compromising the patient's facial esthetics and making him/her to seek orthodontic treatment for correction. In these cases the treatment plan, mostly involves performing extractions, but when already prior to treatment the patient has missing teeth, the treatment plan becomes simplified, since the anterior retraction required might be directed to these areas with no need for removal. The goal of this study is to show a case that promoted the correction of biprotrusion and consequently the patient smile and facial esthetics by performing the extraction of only two first maxillary premolars and anterior retraction redirected for the existing spaces as a result of the mandibular left molar loss and due to agenesis of the right lateral incisor. In addition, the 7-year follow-up control demonstrated occlusal stability and maintenance of the facial esthetics.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of two protocols for maxillary molar intrusion with two or three mini-implants. Methods: Twenty five maxillary first molars extruded for loss of their antagonists in adult subjects were selected. The sample was divided into two groups, according to the intrusion protocol with two or three mini-implants. Group 1 consisted of 15 molars that were intruded by two mini-implants. Group 2 consisted of 10 molars intruded by three mini-implants. Changes with treatment were analyzed in lateral cephalograms at the beginning and at the end of intrusion of maxillary molars. Results: Results showed that there was no difference in efficiency for the two intrusion protocols. It was concluded that extruded maxillary molars can be intruded with two or three mini-implants with similar efficiency.


RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar a eficiência de dois protocolos de intrusão de molares superiores com dois e três mini-implantes. Métodos: foram selecionados 25 primeiros molares superiores extruídos por perda de seus antagonistas, de pacientes adultos. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos, de acordo com o protocolo de intrusão, com dois ou três mini-implantes: o Grupo 1 consistiu de 15 molares que sofreram intrusão com dois mini-implantes; o Grupo 2 foi constituído por 10 molares intruídos por três mini-implantes. As alterações com o tratamento foram analisadas em telerradiografias em norma lateral ao início e ao final da intrusão dos molares superiores. Resultados: os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença na eficiência dos dois protocolos de intrusão. Concluiu-se que molares superiores extruídos podem ser intruídos, com eficiência semelhante, por meio de dois ou três mini-implantes.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo apresenta o relato clínico de um caso de má oclusão de Classe III, subdivisão direita, com presença de apinhamento ântero-inferior e desvio para esquerda da linha média dentária inferior em relação ao plano sagital mediano. A paciente foi submetida a um tratamento assimétrico da má oclusão de Classe III, subdivisão, com extração do primeiro pré-molar inferior direito. Clinicamente, permaneceram a harmonia, equilíbrio e estética dos terços faciais da paciente, mantendo-se o selamento passivo dos lábios. Com relação às posições dentárias, obteve-se a correção do apinhamento dentário, ajuste da linha média dentária inferior em relação ao plano sagital mediano. A mecânica ortodôntica promoveu estabelecimento das corretas guias de desoclusão dentárias, com relações oclusais equilibradas e funcionais. Os resultados ressaltam a importância do diagnóstico correto e individualizado, com identificação dos componentes esqueléticos e dentoalveloar responsáveis pelas más oclusões. Além disso, a escolha ideal da mecânica ortodôntica parece ser fundamental, ampliando a eficácia e sucesso do tratamento.


This article presents the clinical report of a Class III malocclusion case, right subdivision, with presence of antero-inferior crowding and deviation of inferior medium dental line to the left in relation to sagital plane. Patient was submitted to Class III malocclusion asymmetrical treatment, subdivision, with extraction of the first right inferior premolar. Clinically, harmony, balance and aesthetics of the patient’s facial thirds remained, keeping passive lips sealing. Regarding to dental positions, dental crowding correction and adjustment of inferior medium dental line in relation to the medium sagital plane were achieved. The orthodontic mechanics promoted correct establishment of dental disocclusion guides, with balanced and functional oclusal relationships. The results emphasize the importance of correct and individualized diagnosis, with identification of the dentoalveloar and skeletal components responsible for the malocclusions. Besides that, the ideal choice for the orthodontic mechanics seems to be essential, enlarging the effectiveness and success of the treatment.

ABSTRACT

A ancoragem em Ortodontia é muito discutida, pois é de fundamental importância no tratamento ortodôntico. Atualmente, a ancoragem esquelética temporária facilita os tratamentos ortodônticos e a obtenção de uma boa finalização, em que antes, na maioria das vezes, só era conseguida com a realização de cirurgia ortognática. Dentre esses recursos, encontram-se os mini-implantes e as miniplacas. O objetivo no relato deste caso clínico foi abordar a utilização de um novo dispositivo de ancoragem esquelética temporária, ou apoio ósseo, em que os mini-implantes são contraindicados, como em casos onde há maior extensão do seio maxilar; e quando as miniplacas tornam-se inviáveis pelo alto custo de instalação. Consiste na utilização de parafusos de enxerto ósseo associada com fio de amarrilho ortodôntico 0,030” para a intrusão dos primeiros molares superiores permanentes, apresentam como vantagens a facilidade de instalação e desconforto mínimo para o paciente, mantendo a estabilidade durante todo o tratamento ortodôntico.


Anchorage in orthodontics is widely discussed because it is of fundamental in orthodontic treatment. Temporary skeletal anchorage facilitates orthodontic treatments with a good finishing which usually could be obtained through orthognathic surgery. This case report aimed at addressing the use of a new temporary skeletal anchorage device or bone support, when mini-implants are contraindicated such as in cases of greater extension of the maxillary sinus; and when mini-plates become unviable due to high cost. It consists on using bone graft associated with 0.030” orthodontic ligature wire, for the intrusion of the first permanent molars. Among the advantages of this approach are its easy installation and minimal discomfort to the patient, while maintaining stability during orthodontic treatment.

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo teve como objetivo comparar cefalometricamente as alterações esqueléticas, dentárias e tegumentares entre pacientes leucodermas e melanodermas, após tratamento ortodôntico corretivo realizado com extrações de quatro pré-molares. A amostra retrospectiva consistiu de telerradiografias iniciais e finais e modelos de gesso iniciais de um total de 46 indivíduos, sendo os critérios para inclusão a presença de relação molar de Classe I, biprotrusão dentária, apinhamento de leve a moderado, tratados com aparelhos fixos e com extrações de quatro primeiros pré-molares, bem como a presença de todos os dentes irrompidos, até primeiros molares permanentes. O Grupo 1 incluiu 28 pacientes leucodermas (9 masculino e 19 feminino), com idade inicial média de 14,39 anos (d.p.=2,63), tratados por um período médio de 2,23 anos (d.p.=0,73). O Grupo 2 incluiu 18 pacientes melanodermas (9 masculino e 9 feminino), com idade inicial média de 14,81 anos (d.p.=3,07), tempo médio de tratamento de 2,14 anos (d.p.=0,82). Para a comparação intergrupos foi utilizado o teste t independente. As alterações ocorridas foram as seguintes: nos melanodermas houve maior correção no ângulo ANB em relação aos leucodermas; os melanodermas se apresentaram com padrão de crescimento mais vertical em relação aos leucodermas; nos melanodermas houve maior extrusão dos incisivos superiores em relação aos leucodermas. Concluiu-se que a opção por extrações no tratamento ortodôntico em melanodermas deve ser cautelosa, pois, nesse estudo, observou-se que não houve alteração significante no perfil do grupo melanoderma, que ao final do tratamento apresentou-se ligeiramente biprotruso...


The present study aimed to compare cephalometrically skeletal, dental and tegumental changes in caucasian and melanodermic patients after corrective orthodontic treatment with extraction of four premolars. The retrospective sample comprised the initial and final cephalograms and the initial dental casts of a total of 46 subjects. Inclusion criteria were the presence of a Class I molar relationship, dental biprotrusion, slight to moderate anterior crowding, treated with fixed appliances, and extraction of the four first premolars, as well as the presence of all teeth irrupted. Group 1 included 28 caucasian patients (9 males and 19 females), at a mean initial age of 14.39 years (s.d.=2.63), treated for a mean period of 2.23 years (s.d.=0.73). Group 2 included 18 melanodermic patients (9 males and 9 females), at a mean initial age of 14.81 years (s.d.=3.07), treated for a mean period of 2.14 years (s.d.=0.82). For intergroup comparison, it was used the independent t test. The observed alterations were: melanodermic presented greater correction of the maxillomandibular discrepancy when compared to caucasian patients; in melanodermic the occlusal plane rotated counterclockwise and in caucasian the occlusal plane rotated clockwise; greater extrusion of the maxillary incisors was obseerved in melanodermic patients. It was concluded that the decision for extractions in orthodontic treatment of melanodermic patients should be carefuly evaluated since no significant change in the profile oof G2 patients , that at the end of the treatment presented mild biprotrusion...
