ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the stability of transverse changes after Class II malocclusion correction with the pendulum fixed distalizer, followed by preadjusted edgewise fixed orthodontic appliances. METHODS: This longitudinal study was conducted in the maxillary dental casts of 20 Class II malocclusion subjects (mean age, 12.5 years; 14 females and 6 males). Eighty 3-dimensional maxillary dental casts were analyzed; 20 at the beginning of treatment, 20 after distalization, 20 after edgewise appliance debonding, and 20 at 5 years posttreatment. Maxillary transverse distances between canines, first premolars, second premolars, first molars, and second molars were analyzed using Geomagic Studio 5 (3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC). RESULTS: There were no significant changes in intercanine distance during and after treatment. There were significant interfirst and intersecond premolar distance increases during treatment. There were significant interfirst and intersecond molar distance increases during the distalization phase. However, there were significant decreases in these distances at the end of treatment. There were no significant long-term posttreatment changes. CONCLUSIONS: The intercanine distance remains stable during and after treatment. The interfirst and intersecond premolar distances significantly increase during treatment and remain stable after treatment. The interfirst and intersecond molar distances increase during the distalization phase, decrease at the end of treatment, and remain stable after treatment.

The facial growth of Class III malocclusion worsens with age, in this case, the early orthopedic treatment, providing facial balance, modifying the maxillofacial growth and development. A 7.6-year old boy presented with Class III malocclusion associated with anterior crossbite; the mandible was shifted to the right and the maxilla had a transversal deficiency. Rapid maxillary expansion followed by facemask therapy was performed, to correct the anteroposterior relationship and improve the facial profile. The patient was followed for a 15-year period, after completion of the treatment, and stability was observed. Growing patients should be monitored following their treatment, so as to prevent malocclusion relapse.

Objetivo: avaliar, por meio de modelos digitalizados, o comportamento transversal do arco dentário superior de pacientes submetidos ao tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II, corrigida com o aparelho Pendulum, seguido de aparelhagem ortodôntica fixa nos períodos inicial, pós-distalização, pós-tratamento e longo tempo póstratamento. Material e Métodos: Oitenta modelos de 20 pacientes (14 do gênero feminino e 6 do masculino), foram digitalizados no aparelho REXCAN DS2. A média da idade, ao início do tratamento (T1), foi de 14,02 ± 1,62 anos, pós-distalização (T2), foi de 14,54 ± 1,61, ao final do tratamento (T3), 18,38 ± 1,84 anos, e no póstratamento (T4), 22,94 ± 1,34 anos. As distâncias intercaninos, interpré-molares e intermolares foram realizadas no programa Geomagic Studio 5®. A análise de variância dependente para medidas repetidas (ANOVA) foi utilizada para avaliar as alterações entre os períodos. Resultados: não ocorreram alterações transversais na distância intercaninos nas fases estudadas. Os pré-molares demostram um aumento na fase de aparelhagem fixa (T2-T3), para os segundos pré-molares a diferença foi observada entre o período inicial (T1) e os período pós-tratamento (T3). A distância dos primeiros molares alterou durante a fase de distalização (T1-T2), retornando aos valores iniciais durante a fase pós-tratamento (T3). Para os segundos molares, as alterações ocorreram durante o período de distalização (T2) e pós-tratamento (T3). Não ocorreram alterações na fase de longo tempo pós-tratamento. Conclusão: Os resultados permitem concluir que, durante o tratamento com o aparelho Pendulum seguido pelo fixo, ocorrem alterações transversais no arco superior, no entanto, estas alterações permanecem estáveis cinco anos pós-tratamento.
Objective: The aim of this longitudinal study was to asses transversal changes in maxillary dental arch in twenty patients between 14 and 18 years old, treated first by Pendulum and followed by fixed appliances. Material and Methods: Dental measurements in eighty digital 3D models were obtained in pretreatment, postdistalization, post-treatment and long-term post-treatment phases. The statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA test. Results: Premolars and molars distances increased during the fixed appliance treatment (post-distalization and post-treatment phase) and in the long post-treatment phase there were no significant changes. No significant difference was observed in canines transversal distance. Conclusion: It was concluded that Pendulum followed by the fixed appliances, changes dental arch width during the full treatment and it was stable in the long-term post-treatment.

We describe the orthodontic treatment of a patient with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) who received orthodontic treatment that included rapid palatal expansion and orthognathic surgery. There is no report in the literature with this orthodontic treatment protocol, that was considered successful. The pros and cons of this approach as well as the risks involved are discussed.

A presença de dentes supranumerários ocorre frequentemente em associação com fatores controlados geneticamente e concomitante com outras anomalias dentárias. A origem dessa anomalia ainda não foi completamente dirimida na literatura, embora existam evidências de que a genética seja o fator principal na sua etiologia, mesmo havendo dificuldades na identificação dosdiferentes fatores genéticos e ambientais. A presença de anomalias dentárias em síndromes pode indicar que os genes influenciam o número e o tamanho dos dentes, e a hereditariedade tem um papel importante, tendo uma participação efetiva na incidênciade dentes supranumerários em certos grupos familiares. O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar uma revisão da literatura pertinente e relatar casos não sindrômicos entre um irmão e uma irmã com dentes supranumerários, assim como descrever um caso sindrômico de disostose cleidocraniana.
The presence of supernumerary teeth often occurs in association with genetically controlled factors, along with other dental anomalies. The origin of this anomaly has not been fully clarified in the literature, although there is evidence that genetics is the mainfactor in its etiology, even though it is difficult to identify different genetic and environmental factors. The presence of dental anomalies in syndromes may indica te that genes influence the number and size ofthe teeth, and heredity plays an important role, with an effective participation in the incidence of supernumerary teeth in some family groups. This study aimed at presenting areJevantliterature reviel1, and report non-syndromic cases between a brother and a sister presented with supernumerary teeth, as well as describe a syndromic case of Cleidocranial Dysostosis.
