ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of active and passive lacebacks on antero-posterior position of maxillary first molars and central incisors during leveling phase. Twenty-three subjects with Class I and Class II malocclusion were treated with first premolars extraction using preadjusted appliances (MBT 0.022-inch brackets). The leveling phase was performed with stainless steel archwires only. The sample was divided into 2 groups 14 subjects received active lacebacks (Group 1) and 9 subjects received passive lacebacks (Group 2). Lacebacks were made from 0.008-inch ligature wire. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken pre- and post-leveling phase. Student's t-test was applied to determine the differences between pre- and post-leveling mean values and to determine the mean differences between groups. In Group I, the first molars showed a significant mesial movement, whereas no change was observed in Group 2. In both groups, maxillary central incisor crowns moved to lingual side. In conclusion, active laceback produced anchorage loss of maxillary first molars whereas passive laceback did not affect the position of these teeth. Active and passive lacebacks were effective in preventing central incisor proclination.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os efeitos dos lacebacks ativos e passivos na posição ântero-posterior dos primeiros molares e dos incisivos centrais superiores durante a fase de nivelamento. Vinte e três indivíduos com má oclusão de Classes I e II foram tratados com extrações dos primeiros pré-molares utilizando aparelhos fixos pré-ajustados (bráquetes MBT 0,022"). A fase de nivelamento foi realizada somente com arcos de aço inoxidável. A amostra foi dividida em 2 grupos 14 pacientes receberam lacebacks ativos (Grupo 1) e 9 pacientes receberam lacebacks passivos (Grupo 2). Os lacebacks foram feitos com fio de ligadura de 0,008" (0,20 mm). Telerradiografias laterais foram realizadas antes e após a fase de nivelamento. O teste t de Student foi aplicado para determinar as diferenças entre as médias de deslocamento entre os períodos pré e pós-nivelamento e para determinar as diferenças entre os grupos. No Grupo 1, o primeiro molar mostrou uma movimentação mesial significativa enquanto nenhuma alteração foi observada no Grupo 2. Em ambos os grupos, os incisivos centrais superiores foram lingualizados. Em conclusão, os lacebacks ativos produziram perda de ancoragem nos primeiros molares superiores enquanto que os lacebacks passivos não afetaram a posição destes dentes. Lacebacks ativos e passivos foram efetivos para prevenir a vestibularização dos incisivos centrais superiores.
