ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To assess skeletal and dental changes immediately after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in Class II Division 1 malocclusion patients and after a retention period, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.

METHODS:

Seventeen children with Class II, Division 1 malocclusion and maxillary skeletal transverse deficiency underwent RME following the Haas protocol. CBCT were taken before treatment (T1), at the end of the active expansion phase (T2) and after a retention period of 6 months (T3). The scanned images were measured anteroposteriorly (SNA, SNB, ANB, overjet and MR) and vertically (N-ANS, ANS-Me, N-Me and overbite).

RESULTS:

Significant differences were identified immediately after RME as the maxilla moved forward, the mandible moved downward, overjet increased and overbite decreased. During the retention period, the maxilla relapsed backwards and the mandible was displaced forward, leaving patients with an overall increase in anterior facial height.

CONCLUSION:

RME treatment allowed more anterior than inferior positioning of the mandible during the retention period, thus significantly improving Class II dental relationship in 75% of the patients evaluated. .
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

avaliar, por meio de imagens de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC), as mudanças esqueléticas e dentárias, imediatas e após 6 meses de contenção, causadas pela expansão rápida da maxila (ERM) em pacientes com má oclusão de Classe II, divisão 1.

MÉTODOS:

dezessete crianças com má oclusão de Classe II, divisão 1, e deficiência transversal da maxila, foram submetidas a ERM, de acordo com o protocolo proposto por Haas. TCFC foram realizadas antes da ERM (T1), imediatamente após a fase ativa (T2) e após 6 meses de contenção (T3). Alterações anteroposteriores (SNA, SNB, ANB, overjet e RM) e verticais (N-ANS, ANS-Me, N-Me e overbite) foram analisadas.

RESULTADOS:

imediatamente após a ERM, enquanto a maxila se deslocou para frente, a mandíbula se movimentou para frente e para baixo, aumentando o overjet e diminuindo o overbite. Durante o período de contenção, a maxila retornou para posterior e a mandíbula deslocou em direção anterior, aumentando a altura facial anterior.

CONCLUSÃO:

a realização da ERM permitiu que a mandíbula se posicionasse mais anteriormente do que inferior durante o período de contenção, melhorando a relação molar de Classe II em 75% dos pacientes avaliados. .
