ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to cephalometrically compare the skeletal and dentoalveolar effects in the treatment of Class II malocclusion with Pendulum and Jones jig appliances, followed by fixed corrective orthodontics, and to compare such effects to a control group.

METHODS:

The sample was divided into three groups. Group 1 18 patients treated with Pendulum, Group 2 25 patients treated with Jones jig, and Group 3 19 young subjects with untreated Class II malocclusions and initial mean age of 12.88 years. The chi-square test was applied to assess severity and gender distribution. Groups 1 and 2 were compared to the control group by means of the one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests in order to differentiate treatment changes from those occurred by craniofacial growth.

RESULTS:

There were no significant changes among the three groups with regard to the components of the maxilla and the mandible, maxillomandibular relationship, cephalometric and tegumental pattern. Buccal tipping of mandibular incisors was significantly greater in the experimental groups and increased mesial angulation of the maxillary second molars was found in the Jones jig group. In the experimental groups, dental relationship, overbite and overjet were corrected.

CONCLUSION:

It can be stated that the distalization achieved its purpose of correcting the Class II.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

a proposta desse estudo foi comparar, cefalometricamente, os efeitos esqueléticos e dentoalveolares no tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II com os distalizadores Pendulum e Jones jig, seguidos de aparelho fixo corretivo, e compará-los ao grupo controle.

MÉTODOS:

a amostra foi dividida em três grupos. Grupo 1 18 pacientes tratados com o Pendulum; grupo 2 25 pacientes tratados com o Jones jig; e grupo 3 19 jovens com má oclusão de Classe II não tratada. Empregou-se o teste qui-quadrado para avaliar a distribuição da severidade e do sexo. Os grupos 1 e 2 foram comparados ao controle pela ANOVA a um critério; também empregou-se o teste de Tukey com o intuito de diferenciar as alterações do tratamento daquelas ocorridas pelo crescimento craniofacial.

RESULTADOS:

não foram observadas alterações significativas entre os três grupos quanto aos componentes da maxila, mandíbula, relação maxilomandibular, padrão cefálico e tegumentar. Verificou-se uma vestibularização significativamente maior dos incisivos inferiores nos grupos experimentais e maior angulação mesial dos segundos molares superiores no grupo 2 (Jones jig). Nos grupos experimentais, a relação dentária e os trespasses horizontal e vertical foram corrigidos.

CONCLUSÃO:

pode-se afirmar que os distalizadores alcançaram seus objetivos de correção da Classe II.
