RESUMEN
Introdução: os elásticos intermaxilares sintéticos surgiram como uma alternativa para uso ortodôntico em pacientes com sensibilidade ao látex, porém, diferenças podem ser observadas quando comparados aos elásticos naturais de látex. Objetivo: comparar a quantidade de degradação de força dos elásticos intermaxilares sintéticos e de látex quando distendidos em saliva artificial, a fim de buscar parâmetros clínicos para o uso de um protocolo sobre a frequência de troca desses elásticos nas terapias ortodônticas em pacientes com sensibilidade ao látex ou não. Metodologia: foram utilizados dois grupos contendo 30 elásticos cada. O grupo 1 com 30 elásticos de látex da marca Morelli de força média e diâmetro de 5/16" e o grupo 2, 30 elásticos sintéticos, sem látex, também da marca Morelli de força média e diâmetro de 5/16". Eles foram distendidos 4cm e submersos em saliva artificial a 37 graus Celsius e tiveram força mensurada com dinamômetro ortodôntico ao início e nos intervalos de 24, 48, 72 e 120 horas após a imersão. A avaliação da degradação da força foi realizada calculando o percentual de força perdida em relação à força inicial em cada intervalo de tempo, para cada grupo testado separadamente e também entre eles. Resultados e Discussão: a média de valores dos elásticos tanto de silicone quanto de látex teve um percentual parecido quanto à degradação de forças, visto que após as primeiras 24 horas ocorreu o maior declínio de força, de aproximadamente 11% ambos os elásticos. Após 48 horas esse percentual não se alterou significativamente. Conclusão: elásticos devem ser trocados em até 48 horas para que a força aplicada se mantenha em índices aceitáveis.
Introduction: synthetic intermaxillary elastics have emerged as an alternative for orthodontic use in patients with latex sensitivity, but differences can be observed when compared to natural latex elastics. Objective: compare the amount of force degradation of synthetic intermaxillary elastics and latex when distended in artificial saliva in order to find clinical parameters for the use of a protocol on the frequency of exchange of these elastics in orthodontic therapies in patients with latex sensitivity or not. Method: for this, two groups containing 30 elastics were used. Group 1 with 30 medium strength and diameter 5/16 "Morelli latex elastics and group 2, 30 synthetic latex-free elastics, also of the medium strength and 5/16" diameter Morelli brand. They were stretched 4cm and submerged in artificial saliva at 37 degrees Celsius and had strength measured with orthodontic dynamometer at the beginning and at the intervals of 24, 48, 72 and 120 hours after immersion. The force degradation assessment was performed by calculating the percentage of force lost in relation to the initial force at each time interval, for each group tested separately and also between them. Results and discussion: the mean elastic values of both silicone and latex had a similar percentage for the degradation of forces, since after the first 24 hours the greatest force decline occurred, of approximately 11% both elastics. After 48 hours this percentage did not change significantly. Conclusion: elastics should be changed within 48 hours so that the force applied remains at acceptable rates.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to quantify, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in patients who underwent a mandibular advancement surgery associated with genioplasty, three-dimensional changes in airway space and to evaluate whether these changes differ between men and women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Preoperative and 8-month postoperative CBCT scans of 38 patients aged 18-45 years of either sex and any ethnicity who underwent mandibular advancement surgery associated with genioplasty were analyzed using the Xoran software (Xoran Technologies, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). The linear distances gonion-gnathion (Go-Gn) and condylion-menton (Co-Me) were obtained. Airway volume was measured using the Dolphin Imaging software, version 11.0. Then, data were tabulated and analyzed using Student's t-test. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 30.3 years; 39.47% were men and 60.63% were women. The mean Go-Gn distance was 72.05 mm before surgery and 78.56 mm after surgery, with a mean gain of 6.51 mm. The mean Co-Me distance was 113.47 mm before surgery and 119.89 mm after surgery, with a mean increase of 6.42 mm. Both differences were statistically significant. The mean volume of airway space was 17,272.92 mm3 before surgery and 24,173.74 mm3 after surgery, with a statistically significant mean increase of 6900.82 mm3. There was no statistically significant difference in mean volumetric gain between men (7566.69 mm3) and women (7456.69 mm3). CONCLUSION: Mandibular advancement surgery results in significant increase of airway space, and there is no difference in airway volume between men and women.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: In this study, we aimed to compare the amount and frequency of extraction space reopening after 2- and 4-premolar extraction treatments in Class II and 4-premolar extractions in Class I malocclusion patients. METHODS: The sample comprised 105 subjects with full-cusp Class II and Class I malocclusions, divided into 3 groups. Group 1 consisted of 33 full-cusp Class II malocclusion patients treated with a 2-premolar extraction protocol. Group 2 had 34 full-cusp Class II malocclusion patients treated with 4-premolar extractions, and group 3 included 38 Class I malocclusion patients treated with 4-premolar extractions. The Peer Assessment Rating index was used to assess initial malocclusion severity and quality of the occlusal outcome, measured on dental casts. The amounts of extraction spaces were measured with a digital caliper on the final and long-term posttreatment dental casts, after an average of 9.79 years posttreatment. Intergroup comparisons were performed by analysis of variance, followed by Tukey tests and chi-square tests. RESULTS: There were no significant differences regarding the amount and frequency of extraction space reopening among the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Two- and 4-premolar extractions in Class II and 4-premolar extraction treatment in Class I malocclusion patients show similar reopening of extraction spaces in the long term.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the magnitude of external apical root resorption (EARR) of maxillary incisors in patients with mild to moderate anterior crowding, treated with lingual and conventional (labial) orthodontics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample comprised 40 patients divided into two groups: lingual (20 patients) and conventional buccal brackets (20 patients). Patient ages ranged from 11 to 45 years, and the study included 12 men and 28 women. Apical root resorption was measured from periapical radiographs obtained at the beginning of treatment (T1) and at the end of the leveling phase (T2). Periapical radiographs were scanned and transferred to the CorelDraw X7 image-processing program, in which measurements of root lengths were performed. For intragroup and intergroup comparisons between the T1 and T2 phases, paired and independent t-tests, respectively, were used at 5% significance. RESULTS: There was significant apical root resorption for all teeth evaluated; the magnitude of the EARR (T2-T1) ranged from -0.35 mm to -0.63 mm in the lingual group, and from -0.66 mm to -0.85 mm in the conventional group. Although there was an intergroup variation in the magnitude of EARR observed, no statistically significant differences were found. Neither group presented any teeth with resorption ≥1 mm. CONCLUSIONS: The magnitude of apical root resorption in maxillary incisors in patients with anterior crowding was similar regardless of orthodontic technique, lingual or conventional. Both techniques resulting in an apical rounding considered clinically insignificant.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the facial attractiveness in 30 black individuals, according to the Subjective Facial Analysis criteria. METHODS: Frontal and profile view photographs of 30 black individuals were evaluated for facial attractiveness and classified as esthetically unpleasant, acceptable, or pleasant by 50 evaluators: the 30 individuals from the sample, 10 orthodontists, and 10 laymen. Besides assessing the facial attractiveness, the evaluators had to identify the structures responsible for the classification as unpleasant and pleasant. Intraexaminer agreement was assessed by using Spearman's correlation, correlation within each category using Kendall concordance coefficient, and correlation between the 3 categories using chi-square test and proportions. RESULTS: Most of the frontal (53. 5%) and profile view (54. 9%) photographs were classified as esthetically acceptable. The structures most identified as esthetically unpleasant were the mouth, lips, and face, in the frontal view; and nose and chin in the profile view. The structures most identified as esthetically pleasant were harmony, face, and mouth, in the frontal view; and harmony and nose in the profile view. The ratings by the examiners in the sample and laymen groups showed statistically significant correlation in both views. The orthodontists agreed with the laymen on the evaluation of the frontal view and disagreed on profile view, especially regarding whether the images were esthetically unpleasant or acceptable. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, the evaluation of facial attractiveness according to the Subjective Facial Analysis criteria proved to be applicable and to have a subjective influence; therefore, it is suggested that the patient's opinion regarding the facial esthetics should be considered in orthodontic treatmentplanning.

INTRODUCTION: In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the effects on the facial silhouettes produced by a mandibular protraction appliance associated with corrective treatment in Class II patients. METHODS: The sample consisted of 54 (27 initial and 27 final) lateral radiographs from 27 patients. Of these patients, 14 were girls and 13 were boys, with a mean initial age of 12.27 years and a mean treatment period of 2.9 years. An album containing the silhouettes of the pretreatment and posttreatment profiles based on the lateral cephalograms of the patients was prepared. Then, 60 orthodontists and 60 laypeople chose the more esthetic facial silhouette (A or B) and the amount of alterations they perceived between the 2 silhouettes, according to a visual analog scale. A paired t test was used to compare the 2 groups of evaluators with a 5% significance level. RESULTS: Differences between the preferences regarding the pretreatment and posttreatment facial silhouettes were statistically significant for both groups. The posttreatment silhouettes were preferred by most evaluators. The visual analog scale scores showed that the lay evaluators identified greater differences between the pretreatment and posttreatment silhouettes than did the orthodontists (P <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the evaluators' judgments, treatment with the mandibular protraction appliance had a positive effect on the facial silhouette, and the laypeople better perceived this effect.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar, quanto à agradabilidade facial, uma amostra de 30 indivíduos negros, de acordo com os critérios da Análise Facial Subjetiva. Métodos: fotografias frontais e de perfil de 30 indivíduos negros foram avaliadas quanto à agradabilidade facial e classificadas como esteticamente desagradáveis, aceitáveis ou agradáveis, por 50 avaliadores, sendo: 30 indivíduos da amostra, 10 ortodontistas e 10 leigos. Além de avaliar a agradabilidade facial, os avaliadores tiveram que identificar as estruturas responsáveis pela classificação como desagradável ou agradável. A concordância intraexaminador foi avaliada por meio da correlação de Spearman. Já a correlação dentro de cada categoria foi analisada por meio do coeficiente de concordância de Kendall, e a correlação entre as três categorias foi estabelecida por meio dos testes qui-quadrado e de proporção. Resultados: a maioria das fotografias frontais (53,5%) e de perfil (54,9%) foi classificada como esteticamente aceitável. As estruturas mais identificadas como esteticamente desagradáveis foram: boca, lábios e rosto, na fotografia frontal; e nariz e queixo, na fotografia de perfil. As estruturas mais identificadas como esteticamente agradáveis foram: harmonia, rosto e boca, na fotografia de frente; e harmonia e nariz, na de perfil. As avaliações realizadas pelos examinadores nos grupos amostra e leigos mostraram uma correlação estatisticamente significativa em ambas as posições. Os ortodontistas concordaram com os leigos sobre a avaliação na perspectiva frontal e discordaram sobre a de perfil, especialmente no que diz respeito às imagens consideradas esteticamente desagradáveis ou aceitáveis. Conclusões: com base nesses resultados, a avaliação da agradabilidade facial, de acordo com critérios da Análise Facial Subjetiva, provou ser aplicável e ter uma influência subjetiva. Assim, sugere-se que a opinião do paciente sobre a estética facial seja considerada no planejamento do tratamento ortodôntico.

RESUMEN
A biprotrusão dentoalveolar é caracterizada pelo posicionamento mais anterior dos incisivos superiores e inferiores, o que traz como consequência um selamento labial deficiente e um perfil convexo, comprometendo a estética facial do paciente e fazendo com que este busque no tratamento ortodôntico a sua correção. O plano de tratamento destes casos, na sua maioria, envolve a realização de extrações, porém, quando já previamente ao tratamento o paciente apresenta ausências dentárias, o planejamento é simplificado, já que a retração anterior necessária pode ser direcionada para estes espaços sem que haja necessidade de extrações nestas regiões. O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar um caso clínico que promoveu a correção da biprotrusão e, consequentemente, da estética do sorriso e facial da paciente, através da realização da exodontia de apenas dois primeiros pré-molares superiores e retração anteroinferior redirecionada para os espaços já existentes, em consequência da perda do molar inferior esquerdo e devido à agenesia do incisivo lateral inferior direito. Além disso, no controle de sete anos pós-tratamento, observou-se estabilidade oclusal e manutenção da estética facial.
Dental biprotrusion is characterized by greater buccal tipping of the upper and lower incisors, rendering poor lip closure and convex profile, compromising the patient's facial esthetics and making him/her to seek orthodontic treatment for correction. In these cases the treatment plan, mostly involves performing extractions, but when already prior to treatment the patient has missing teeth, the treatment plan becomes simplified, since the anterior retraction required might be directed to these areas with no need for removal. The goal of this study is to show a case that promoted the correction of biprotrusion and consequently the patient smile and facial esthetics by performing the extraction of only two first maxillary premolars and anterior retraction redirected for the existing spaces as a result of the mandibular left molar loss and due to agenesis of the right lateral incisor. In addition, the 7-year follow-up control demonstrated occlusal stability and maintenance of the facial esthetics.

Os objetivos desta pesquisa consistiram em examinar os motivos que levaram os pacientes à busca de tratamento ortodôntico, e determinar se há influência da idade e sexo. A amostra constitui-se de 250 pacientes entre nove a 59 anos de idade, sendo 144 do sexo feminino e 106 do masculino, em fase ativa de tratamento ortodôntico fixo. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com a faixa etária: grupo dos jovens, de nove a 16 anos; e dos adultos, de 19 a 59 anos de idade. Estes responderam a um questionário, e suas respostas foram analisadas pela estatística indutiva, por meio do teste Qui-quadrado. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos pacientes busca pelo tratamento ortodôntico por que reconhecem que possuem má-oclusão (42,4%), sendo que os adultos (24,4%) citaram mais frequentemente esse motivo do que os jovens (18%). O segundo motivo apontado foi a busca pela melhora da aparência (24%), evidenciando diferenças entre as faixas etárias avaliadas, em que 15,6% dos adultos atribuíram o tratamento ortodôntico a razões estéticas. Os jovens apontaram a influência de um dentista ou outro profissional da saúde (9,6%) como o segundo motivo na busca de um tratamento ortodôntico. A porcentagem de pacientes, cuja decisão de se submeter ao tratamento foi direcionada pelos seus pais, diminuiu com o aumento da idade. Foi possível identificar os principais motivos que levam o paciente a buscar um tratamento ortodôntico, ressaltando a importância de se conhecer a queixa de acordo com a faixa etária, para alcançar resultados de excelência que atendam suas expectativas.
To assess patients' motivation seeking orthodontic treatment and its association with age and gender. The sample consisted of 250 patients from 9 to 59 years-old, 144 female and 106 male, in active phase of orthodontic treatment. Patients were divided into two groups according to age, being young people from 9-16 years and adults from 19-59 years old. They answered a questionnaire to assess the motivation for orthodontic treatment and their responses were analyzed by frequency distribution and percentage. The inductive statistics, by Chi-square test was used to determine association between age, gender and motivation for orthodontic treatment. The results showed that the majority of patients seek orthodontic treatment because they are aware of malocclusion (42.4%); adults (24.4%) cited more often this reason than young people (18%). The second reason was to improve their appearance (24%); and differences between age groups were observed, where 15.6% of adults attributed orthodontic treatment for aesthetic reasons. The young group showed the influence of a dentist or other healthcare provider (9.6%) as the second reason in the search for orthodontic treatment. The percentage of patients whose decision to undergo treatment was directed by their parents decreased with increasing age. It was possible to identify the main reasons for patients seeking orthodontic treatment emphasizing the importance to understand their chief complaint according to age, to achieve excellent results that meet their expectations.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether orthodontic treatment in adults requiring oral rehabilitation is effective for increasing patients' self-esteem and quality of life (QoL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 102 adult patients (77 women and 25 men) aged between 18 and 66 years (mean, 35.1 years) requiring oral rehabilitation and orthodontic treatment simultaneously. Rosenberg's Self-Esteem (RSE) Scale and a questionnaire about QoL based on the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) were used to determine self-esteem and QoL scores retrospectively. Questionnaires were carried out in two stages, T1 (start of treatment) and T2 (6 months after). To compare score changes between T1 and T2, the data obtained from the RSE Scale were evaluated with paired t tests, and data from the quality-of-life questionnaire were assessed by applying descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The results showed a statistically significant increase in self-esteem (P < .001) and a great improvement on patients' QoL. CONCLUSIONS: Orthodontic treatment causes a significant increase in self-esteem and QoL, providing psychological benefits for adult patients in need of oral rehabilitation.

Na Ortodontia contemporânea é muito comum o ortodontista realizar tratamentos compensatórios, nos quais há necessidade de utilizar uma mecânica eficiente para a correção da má oclusão do paciente. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever um caso clínico de uma paciente adulta, com má oclusão de Classe II bilateral e mordida aberta anterior que foi tratada ortodonticamente com extrações dentárias. A realização das extrações dentárias possibilitou uma retrusão e verticalização dos incisivos superiores e inferiores com grande estabilidade dos resultados após o final do tratamento. A retração dos incisivos superiores e inferiores resultou na diminuição da convexidade do perfil tegumentar promovendo maior harmonia facial.
In current Orthodontics is very common to carry out compensatory treatments, where there is need to use a efficient orthodontic mechanics for the correction of the patient malocclusion. The aim of this paper is to describe a clinical case of an adult patient with bilateral Class II malocclusion and anterior open bite that was treated orthodontically with extractions. The dental extractions provided a retraction and uprighting of the upper and lower incisors with great stability of the results after the end of treatment. The retraction of upper and lower incisors resulted in a decrease in soft tissue profile convexity promoting greater facial harmony.

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare the treatment times of Class II division 1 malocclusion subjects treated with four first premolar extractions or a non-extraction protocol and fixed edgewise appliances. Eighty-four patients were selected and divided into two groups. Group 1, treated with four first premolar extractions, consisted of 48 patients (27 males and 21 females) with a mean age of 13.03 years and group 2, treated without extractions, consisted of 36 patients (18 males and 18 females) with a mean age of 13.13 years. Group 2 was subdivided into two subgroups, 2A consisting of 16 patients treated in one phase and 2B consisting of 20 patients treated in two phases. The initial and final Treatment Priority Index (TPI), initial ages, initial mandibular crowding, and treatment times of groups 1 and 2 were compared with t-tests. These variables were also compared between group 1 and the subgroups with analysis of variance followed by Tukey's tests. The treatment times for groups 1 and 2 and subgroups 2A and 2B were 2.36, 2.47, 2.25, and 2.64 years, respectively, which were not significantly different. Treatment times with non-extraction and four premolar extraction protocols are similar.
