ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

The aim of this study was to compare the longitudinal stability of the conventional straight-wire system after the use of a quad-helix appliance with Damon self-ligating system in patients with Class I malocclusion.

Methods:

27 adolescent patients were evaluated at three different periods pre-treatment (T1), post-treatment (T2) and three years post-treatment (T3). Group 1 included 12 patients (with a mean age of 14.65 year) treated with Damon 3MX bracket system; and Group 2 included 15 patients (with a mean age of 14.8 year) who underwent orthodontic treatment with Roth prescribed brackets after expansion with Quad-Helix appliance. Relapse was evaluated with dental cast examination and cephalometric radiograph tracings. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM-SPSS for Windows software, version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). A p-value smaller than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

There were significant increases in all transverse dental and postero-anterior measurements (except for UL6-ML mm in Group 1) with active treatment. There was some significant relapse in the long-term in inter-canine width in both groups and in the inter-first premolar width in Group 2 (p< 0.05). Significant decrease in all frontal measurements from T2 to T3 was seen for both groups. Upper and lower incisors significantly proclined in T1-T2 (p<0.05), however no relapse was found for both groups. When two systems were compared, there was no significant difference for the long-term follow-up period.

Conclusion:

Conventional (quad-helix appliance with conventional brackets) and Damon systems were found similar with regard to the long-term incisor positions and transverse dimension changes of maxillary arch.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

comparar a estabilidade longitudinal após o tratamento de pacientes com má oclusão de Classe I usando o sistema Straight-wire convencional - depois da expansão com aparelho quadri-hélice - e o sistema autoligável Damon.

Métodos:

27 pacientes adolescentes foram avaliados em três períodos distintos pré-tratamento (T1), pós-tratamento imediato (T2) e três anos pós-tratamento (T3). O Grupo 1 incluiu 12 pacientes (com idade média de 14,65 anos) tratados com o sistema de braquetes Damon 3MX e o Grupo 2 incluiu 15 pacientes (com idade média de 14,8 anos), submetidos a tratamento ortodôntico com braquetes prescrição Roth após expansão com aparelho quadri-hélice. A recidiva foi avaliada por meio de exame dos modelos de estudo e traçados cefalométricos. A análise estatística foi realizada com o software IBM-SPSS para Windows, versão 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Valores de p< 0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significativos.

Resultados:

após o tratamento ativo, ocorreu aumento significativo em todas as medidas transversais dentárias e posteroanteriores (exceto para a UL6-ML mm, no Grupo 1). Em longo prazo, ocorreu recidiva significativa (p< 0,05) na distância intercaninos em ambos os grupos, e na distância interprimeiros pré-molares no Grupo 2. De T2 para T3, observou-se diminuição significativa em todas as medidas frontais, para ambos os grupos. De T1 para T2, os incisivos superiores e inferiores sofreram vestibularização significativa (p< 0,05); porém, nenhuma recidiva ocorreu em qualquer um dos dois grupos. Ao se comparar os dois sistemas, não foi encontrada qualquer diferença significativa no período de acompanhamento em longo prazo.

Conclusão:

o sistema convencional (aparelho quadri-hélice e braquetes convencionais) e o sistema Damon apresentaram desempenho semelhante, em longo prazo, em termos das posições dos incisivos e das mudanças ocorridas na dimensão transversal da arcada superior.
