ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate, in the initial and final stages of corrective orthodontic treatment, the predictability of the ANB, 1-NB, PNB and 1-NA during case individualization, which considers the characteristics of the patient, professional experience and the mechanics to be used.

METHODS:

Ninety patients were selected at the State University of Londrina (UEL, Brazil), presenting Angle Class I and II malocclusions, treated with and without extraction of four premolars and divided into three groups Horizontal, balanced and vertical. The cephalometric variables were evaluated in the initial, prognosis and final stages of treatment in order to observe the behavior of the estimates, or how they were higher or lower than the values obtained.

RESULTS:

It was noticed the influence of the facial pattern on the behavior of the measures examined, the values proposed for the ANB were statistically different from values obtained at the end of the treatment; in the vertical group the final value was the one that most approached the proposed value; regarding 1-NB the values proposed with the Steiner analysis for the balanced and vertical groups were not achieved. For P-NB, there was no difference between genders. For 1-NA it was observed that the values obtained at the end of treatment differ from estimates in the three groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

The limitations of the estimates of the measures do not invalidate its clinical or teaching use, if aware of its deficiencies, the analysis can be used with restrictions.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

avaliar, nas fases inicial e final de tratamento ortodôntico corretivo, a previsibilidade das medidas ANB, 1-NB, P-NB, e 1-NA durante a individualização dos casos, onde se consideram as características inerentes do paciente, bem como a experiência do profissional e a mecânica a ser utilizada.

MÉTODOS:

foram selecionados 90 pacientes, tratados na UEL, apresentando Classes I e II de Angle, tratados com e sem extrações de quatro pré-molares e divididos em três grupos horizontal, equilibrado e vertical. As grandezas cefalométricas foram avaliadas nas fases inicial, proposta e final de tratamento, com o intuito de observar o comportamento das estimativas, ou seja, o quanto elas foram maiores ou menores que os valores obtidos.

RESULTADOS:

constatou-se influência do padrão facial no comportamento das medidas analisadas; os valores propostos para o ANB foram estatisticamente diferentes dos valores obtidos ao final do tratamento; no grupo vertical, o valor final foi o que mais se aproximou do valor proposto; em relação à medida 1-NB, os valores propostos durante a elaboração da análise de Steiner para os grupos equilibrado e vertical não foram alcançados. Para medida PNB, não se observou diferença entre os sexos. Na medida 1-NA, foi observado que os valores obtidos ao final do tratamento diferem das estimativas nos três grupos analisados.

CONCLUSÃO:

as limitações das estimativas das medidas não invalidam seu emprego clínico ou didático, desde que, conscientes de suas deficiências, sejam utilizadas com restrições.
