ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Pubertal growth peak is closely associated with a rapid increase in mandibular length and offers a wide range of therapeutic modifiability.

Objective:

The aim of the present study was to determine and compare the mean ages of onset and duration of pubertal growth peak among three skeletal classes.

Methods:

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using lateral cephalograms of 230 subjects with growth potential (110 males, 120 females). Subjects were categorized into three classes (Class I = 81, Class II = 82, Class III = 67), according to the sagittal relationship established between the maxilla and the mandible. The cervical vertebral maturation stage was recorded by means of Baccetti's method. The mean ages at CS3 and CS4 and the CS3-CS4 age interval were compared between boys and girls and among three skeletal classes.

Results:

Pubertal growth peak occurred on average four months earlier in girls than boys (p = 0.050). The average duration of pubertal growth peak was 11 months in Class I, seven months in Class II and 17 months in Class III subjects. Interclass differences were highly significant (Cohen's d > 0.08). However, no significant difference was found in the timing of pubertal growth peak onset among three skeletal classes (p = 0.126 in boys, p = 0.262 in girls).

Conclusions:

Girls enter pubertal growth peak on average four months earlier than boys. Moreover, the duration of pubertal growth peak is on average four months shorter in Class II and six months longer in Class III subjects as compared to Class I subjects.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Introdução:

o pico de crescimento puberal está intimamente relacionado a um rápido aumento no comprimento da mandíbula e propicia uma larga gama de abordagens terapêuticas.

Objetivos:

o objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar e comparar as idades médias ao começo do pico de crescimento puberal, bem como sua duração, nas três diferentes classes esqueléticas.

Métodos:

esse estudo retrospectivo transversal foi conduzido usando radiografias celafométricas laterais de 230 indivíduos com potencial de crescimento (110 homens, 120 mulheres). Os indivíduos foram categorizados em 3 classes (Classe I = 81, Classe II = 82, Classe III = 67), conforme a relação sagital presente entre a maxila e a mandíbula. O estágio de maturação cervical foi registrado por meio do método de Baccetti. As idades médias em EMVC3 e EMVC4, bem como o intervalo de idade EMVC3-EMVC4 foram comparados entre meninos e meninas e entre as três classes esqueléticas.

Resultados:

o pico de crescimento puberal ocorreu, em média, quatro meses mais cedo nas meninas do que nos meninos (p = 0,050). A duração média do pico de crescimento puberal foi de 11 meses nos indivíduos Classe I, 7 meses nos indivíduos Classe II e de 17 meses nos indivíduos Classe III. As diferenças interclasses foram altamente significativas (d de Cohen > 0,08). Porém, não foram identificadas diferenças significativas quanto à época de início do pico de crescimento puberal entre as três classes esqueléticas (p = 0,126 nos garotos, p = 0,262 nas garotas).

Conclusões:

as meninas entram no pico de crescimento puberal, em média, quatro meses antes dos meninos. Além disso, a duração do pico de crescimento puberal é, em média, quatro meses menor em indivíduos Classe II e seis meses maior nos indivíduos Classe III, em comparação aos indivíduos Classe I.
