RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

o diagnóstico e o tratamento precoce do Padrão III são temas ainda muito discutidos na literatura ortodôntica. A tração reversa associada à expansão rápida da maxila constitui a abordagem mais popular e estudada, produzindo os melhores resultados no menor período de tempo. O foco deste estudo foi avaliar as mudanças gradativas ocorridas no complexo dentofacial em crianças com Padrão III de crescimento tratadas com tração reversa da maxila associada à mecânica intermaxilar.

MÉTODOS:

a amostra foi constituída por 10 pacientes Padrão III, com média de idade de 8 anos e 2 meses ao início do tratamento, tratados consecutivamente com aparelho expansor de Haas modificado, arco lingual modificado, elásticos intermaxilares e máscara de Petit para tração reversa da maxila por 9 meses. Foram realizadas 4 telerradiografias em norma lateral de cada paciente, uma correspondente ao início do tratamento e as demais em intervalos regulares de 3 meses (T1, T2, T3 e T4). As grandezas cefalométricas foram comparadas entre os tempos através de Análise de Variância de Medidas Repetidas, complementada pelo Teste de Comparações Múltiplas de Tukey.

RESULTADOS:

pôde-se observar que as alterações esqueléticas mais significativas ocorreram nos primeiros 3 meses de tratamento, sendo que, após esse período, elas se mantiveram constantes até o final do tratamento. Ocorreram poucas compensações dentárias e as alterações verticais ocorridas apresentaram significado clínico reduzido.

CONCLUSÃO:

a terapia empregada obteve não só uma correção do trespasse horizontal entre as arcadas, mas também uma melhora no relacionamento sagital entre as bases ósseas e na estética tegumentar.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The early diagnosis and treatment of skeletal Class III (Pattern III) is still a much debated topic in orthodontic literature. Maxillary protraction associated with rapid maxillary expansion is the most popular and widely researched approach, producing the best results in the shortest period of time. This study aimed to evaluate the gradual changes that occur in the dentofacial complex in children with Pattern III growth treated with maxillary protraction associated with intermaxillary mechanics.

METHODS:

The sample consisted of 10 patients with Pattern III, whose mean age was 8 years and 2 months at the beginning of treatment, consecutively treated with a modified Haas expander, modified lingual arch, intermaxillary elastics and Petit facemask for maxillary protraction during a 9-month period. Four lateral cephalograms were taken of each patient, one at the beginning of treatment and the other three at regular 3-month intervals (T1, T2, T3 and T4). Cephalometric measurements at each of the four times were compared using ANOVA variance for repeated measures and supplemented by Tukey's multiple comparisons test.

RESULTS:

It was observed that the most significant skeletal changes occurred in the first 3 months of treatment. After that period the changes remained constant until the end of treatment. There were few dental compensations and the vertical changes which occurred showed reduced clinical significance.

CONCLUSIONS:

The therapy used in this study accomplished not only the correction of overjet but also improvements in the sagittal relationship of the basal bones and in soft tissue esthetics.
