ResumoObjetivo: ciente de que a cirurgia ortognática moderna se preocupa em planejar e diagnosticar os casos clínicos utilizando medidas obtidas de grandezas do perfil tegumentar dos pacientes -com o auxílio de imagens digitais empregadas em softwares de planejamento -, no presente estudo foi proposto aferir as medidas de brasileiros leucodermas de descendência européia e compará-las com as medidas já padronizadas por Arnett, com o intuito de criar novas medidas a serem seguidas por brasileiros que utilizam o software de predição cirúrgica Dolphin Imaging 9.0. Métodos: foram utilizadas radiografias cefalométricas de 31 pacientes com oclusão Classe I de Angle e harmonia facial. Todas as radiografias foram digitalizadas e inseridas no software Dolphin 9.0 e 16 pontos de tecido mole e 22 pontos do esqueleto facial foram marcados, seguindo-se exatamente as marcações da análise de Arnett e McLaughlin presentes no programa. Resultados: os resultados obtidos foram avaliados estatisticamente e mostram que o perfil do brasileiro é quase totalmente diferente do perfil norte-americano, exceção feita a apenas quatro pontos para os homens e outros quatro para as mulheres. Os brasileiros apresentam uma face menos protruída, um perfil mais convexo e menor proeminência do queixo do que o grupo controle. Conclusão: esses dados mostram a necessidade de se realizar algumas mudanças nas grandezas numéricas para que um perfeito diagnóstico e planejamento possam ser realizados em brasileiros, criando assim o padrão do perfil facial do brasileiro leucoderma de descendência européia.Palavras-chave: Predição cirúrgica.

Biblical writers generally viewed old age as a reward for righteousness and piety. Consequently, they stressed the belief that the elderly were blessed and that they should be venerated. While life expectancy was usually below forty years, there are exceptional cases on record of individuals--men and women--living to advanced old ages. An analysis of these special few cases and a discussion of extra-Biblical texts shows that other ancient Middle Eastern societies held attitudes toward aging and the aged comparable to those expressed in the Hebrew Bible.
The desire for a long and healthy life was expressed often by Assyrian kings in their extant public texts from the 14th through the 7th centuries BC. But advanced old age, whether for monarchs or commoners, was not achieved very often in the ancient world. Consequently, Assyrian royal inscriptions frequently reflect concern for another kind of longevity--an immortality achieved by having one's works and one's name preserved and remembered by posterity. Almost every dedicatory inscription associated with public works--palaces, temples, etc.--expressed the importance of these kings' participation in what this writer terms a "family cult." The latter constituted a sense of continuity from father to son to grandson, and so on, which depended upon each new generation to preserve and/or restore the works and the "names" of their predecessors. If the Assyrian kings each did their job as "Curator" or "Steward" of the family's heritage, they expressed the hope that they would not be forgotten--perhaps the closest they could get to achieving immortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
