Este trabalho objetivou estudar as alterações das grandezas cefalométricas utilizadas em cefalometria, quando a posição natural da cabeça (PNC) modifica-se durante a tomada da telerradiografia, sua influência no diagnóstico ortodôntico, sua precisão e reprodutibilidade em tomadas radiográficas sucessivas. Analisou-se 180 telerradiografias, tomadas em norma lateral, de 30 pacientes do gênero feminino com idade média de 21,3 anos obtidas em duas séries de tomadas radiográficas com intervalo de 15 dias entre as séries. Registrou-se em cada sé-rie a PNC, a PNC acrescida de 5 graus e a PNC com flexão de 5 graus de cada paciente. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as grandezas lineares S-N, ENA-ENP, Co-Gn, Go-Gn, e as angulares SNA, ANB, PP.GoGn, 1.PP, IMPA, 1.1, SN.VER e HF.VER não apresentaram alterações estatisticamente significantes entre as posições estudadas e entre as séries de tomadas radiográficas, mas as de SNB, SN.GoGn, FMA, SN.PP, Ângulo Z e Co-Go apresentaram alterações estatisticamente significantes. Concluiu-se que as medidas angulares e lineares avaliadas não apresentaram alterações significantes quando a PNC modificou-se dentro da faixa de variação angular estudada, o que não conduziu a diagnósticos ou interpretações duvidosas. Devido à baixa variação das angulações dos ângulos SN.VER e HF.VER demonstrou-se que a utilização da Unidade Orientadora de Posicionamento, apresentada neste trabalho, permite a reprodutibilidade da posição natural da cabeça com grande confiabilidade dentro de uma faixa de variação da PNC em + 5º.
In 1884, craníologists adopted the Frankfurt horizontal plane, determined by the left Porion, right Porion and left Orbitale points, as being the reference that defines the head position while parallel to the soil. When of the appearance of the cephalometry, countless points, !ines and reference planes were used in craníometry, among them the Frankfurt horizontal plane.However, only with the development o f the cephalostat, in 1931, the validity o f the employment of those references became questioned due to the difficulty oflocation of the Porion and Orbital e points and to the great variability of individual inclination of that plane which lead to doubtful interpretations when used for cephalometric analyses. Therefore, the Natural Head Position (NHP) associated with an extracranial reference line became object of so much interest for the anthropology as for the orthodontics due to a stable positioning for the evaluations of the facial aesthetics, diagnosis and for the longitudinal study o f the craniofacial growth. This work aimed to study the alterations of angular and linear cephalometrics measurements more commonly used in cephalometry, when the natural head position (NHP) is modified during the taking of cephalometric radiography, its influence in the orthodontic diagnosis, and the reliability and reproducibility of NHP for successive radiographs. One hundred and eighty cephalometrics radiographs were taken in lateral norm of 30 female patients with age range of 21,3 years old.The X-ray were obtained in two series within 15 days interval among them. In each ofthe series, the natural head position (NHP), the NHP added of 5 degrees (NHP+5°) and NHP with 5 degrees of flexion (NHP-5°) were registered from each patient. The obtained results demonstrated that the linear measurements S-N, ENA-ENP, CO-Gn, Go-Gn, and the angular measurements SNA,
