“…The clinical implications that can be deduced from this scientific knowledge have been vastly applied in orthodontics with a change of therapeutic protocols and the diversification of treatment plan based on musculoskeletal type [23]. For other dental specializations, in particular for prosthodontics and implantology, this did not occur if only as a generic recommendation, by some authors [24], to be aware of these patients.…”

“…To minimize the bias, the sample was selected by inclusion criteria based on the literature 4,10,12,17,19,25,29,30 and on the objective of this study. The selection criteria were patients with all permanent teeth erupted up to the first molars and under 15 years of age at pretreatment (T 1 ); no supernumerary teeth or tooth agenesis; no fiberotomy or interproximal stripping as part of the treatment plan; Class I or Class II Division 1 malocclusion of, at least, three-forths of a full step Class II molar relationship, no anterior open bite or crossbite and more than 3 mm of crowding on Little's irregularity index 9 in the mandible (LIIMx).…”

Objective: To evaluate the stability and the relapse of maxillary anterior crowding treatment on cases with premolar extraction and evaluate the tendency of the teeth to return to their pretreatment position. Methods:The experimental sample consisted of 70 patients of both sex with an initial Class I and Class II maloclusion and treated with first premolar extractions. The initial mean age was 13,08 years. Dental casts' measurements were obtained at three stages (pretreatment, posttreatment and posttreatment of 9 years on average) and the variables assessed were Little Irregularity Index, maxillary arch length and intercanine. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to know if some studied variable would have influence on the crowding in the three stages (LII1, LII2, LII3) and in each linear displacement of the Little irregularity index (A, B, C, D, E) in the initial and post-retention phases. Results:The maxillary crowding relapse ( LII3-2) is influenced by the initial ( LII1), and the teeth tend to return to their pretreatment position. Conclusion:The results underline the attention that the orthodontist should be given to the maxillary anterior relapse, primarily on those teeth that are crowded before the treatment.

“…If there is a vertical disorder, the earlier patients go through treatment, better are the achievable results, due to the establishment of growth tendencies (NIELSEN, 1991; VAN DER LINDEN, 1999;PROFFIT et al, 2007). Therefore, it influences treatments choices, methods and possible outcomes (PEPICELLI et al, 2005). The vertical facial pattern of a patient have been related to several etiological features, such as the growth of mandible and maxilla, dento-alveolar vertical development, muscle and lips function (NIELSEN, 1991; VAN DER LINDEN, 1999;BOCK et al, 2005), heritability (BAYDAS et al, 2007), among others.…”

ABSTRACT:The classification of facial vertical patterns is a common practice among dentists of different specialties. It influences treatment planning and expected outcomes, but is usually carried out qualitatively. The aim of this study is to better understand vertical facial proportions, combining a critic review of the literature with the collection of data from 100 Brazilian adult sample in search of 3D quantitative parameters with the use of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) measurements. In Pubmed database, the following quoted phrases were used: "Facial pattern" AND "Facial Index" AND "Facial height Index" AND "Facial height" AND "Dolichofacial" AND "Brachyfacial" AND "Longface syndrome" AND "Short-face syndrome" in a 25 years interval . Study selection was performed searching for crucial facial features, commonly used to determine the facial pattern of a patient. In CBCT exams, 100 patients had facial features measured and classified by the three most reliable methods. The literature on the field can be very confusing, as the methods, landmarks and averages differed considerably. Most of the facial features researched had different values when the literature was analyzed and compared to our data. This indicates that ethnic, age and gender variations play an important whole in facial pattern diagnostic and should be taken in account when using general cephalometric approaches on diagnosis. With a group sorting method, combining the ratios between the anterior Facial height and the width, the anterior vertical proportion and the gonial angle divergence, and with anatomical landmarks we successfully correlated the sample to the qualitative description, as shorter faced patients to larger bi-zygomatic distances and less divergent gonial angles and longer faced patients with narrower and more divergent faces.
