          Abstract

          OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate a sagittal variation on the lower incisors with the use of the lingual arch on the transition from mixed to permanent dentition. METHODS: The sample was constituted of 44 Caucasian patients (26 girls and 18 boys), divided in two groups: CG, control group, monitoring the lower arch space with no orthodontic/orthopedic treatment during the rated period (n = 14); EG, experimental group, presenting anterior inferior mild crowding and installation of the lingual arch for space maintenance (n = 30). The position of the lower incisors was analyzed on computerized cephalometric tracings performed at the beginning of the monitoring (T1) and at the end, on the permanent dentition (T2). In order to evaluate the position of the incisors it was used Tweed and Steiner measurements: IMPA, 1.NB and 1-NB. The alterations were analyzed through the "t" test for paired samples, while the differences between the groups were analyzed through the "t" test for independent samples, as for sexual dimorphism. RESULTS: The values in T2 were greater in relation to T1 for all measurements on EG (IMPA, p = 0.038; 1.NB, p = 0.007 and 1-NB, p < 0.0001). On comparing the differences (T2-T1) between CG and EG, it can be gauged differences significantly superior for measure 1.NB (p = 0.002) and 1-NB (p < 0.0001) on EG. There was no statisticaly significant difference between genres. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the lower incisors were projected after using the lingual arch to control the space on the transition from mixed to permanent dentition, however, within acceptable standards, not having difference between genres.

          OBJETIVO: avaliar a alteração sagital ocorrida nos incisivos inferiores com o uso do arco lingual no período de transição da dentição mista para a permanente. MÉTODOS: a amostra foi composta por 44 pacientes leucodermas (26 meninas e 18 meninos), divididos em dois grupos: (GC) grupo controle, no qual foi efetuado monitoramento do espaço da arcada inferior, sem tratamento ortodôntico/ortopédico no período avaliado (n = 14); (GE) grupo experimental, presença de suave apinhamento anteroinferior e instalação do arco lingual para manutenção do espaço (n = 30). A posição dos incisivos inferiores foi analisada em traçados cefalométricos computadorizados realizados ao início (T1) e ao final do acompanhamento, já na dentição permanente (T2). Para avaliar a posição dos incisivos foram utilizadas as medidas das análises cefalométricas de Tweed e de Steiner: IMPA, 1.NB e 1-NB. As alterações ocorridas foram analisadas pelo teste t para amostras pareadas, enquanto as diferenças entre os grupos foram avaliadas pelo teste t para amostras independentes, bem como para o dimorfismo sexual. RESULTADOS: os valores em T2 foram maiores em relação a T1 para todas as medidas no GE (IMPA, p = 0,038; 1.NB, p = 0,007; e 1-NB, p < 0,0001). Na comparação das diferenças (T2-T1) entre o GC e GE pôde-se aferir diferenças significativamente superiores para as medidas 1.NB (p = 0,002) e 1-NB (p < 0,0001) no GE. Não houve diferença significativamente estatística entre os sexos. CONCLUSÃO: concluiu-se que os incisivos inferiores foram projetados após a utilização do arco lingual para o controle do espaço no período de transição da dentição mista para a permanente, porém a projeção esteve dentro dos padrões aceitáveis, não havendo diferença entre sexos.

            Mandibular permanent first molar and incisor width as predictor of mandibular canine and premolar width.

            Estimating the mesiodistal widths of unerupted permanent canines and premolars is an essential aspect of mixed dentition analysis. Several methods are used to predict tooth width. The best methods demonstrate high values of correlation and determination coefficients. In this study, we aimed to determine a linear regression equation that would predict the sum of the mesiodistal widths of mandibular permanent canines and premolars based on the sum of the widths of the 4 mandibular permanent incisors and first permanent molars.
