Perceção da assimetria facial em crianças antes e depois do tratamento da mordida cruzada posterior unilateral

Abstract

Introdução: A mordida cruzada posterior unilateral (MCPU) tem diversas consequências, incluindo alterações no crescimento dentofacial e nas articulações temporomandibulares, atrição dentária prematura e assimetria facial. O tratamento ortodôntico, para além do alinhamento dentário ideal e de uma oclusão funcional, visa também a harmonia dos tecidos moles e do sorriso e a simetria facial. No entanto, a relação entre MCPU e a simetria facial tem sido pouco investigada. Objetivo: Esta investigação teve como objetivo avaliar e comparar a perceção de assimetria facial em crianças com MCPU, antes e após a realização do tratamento ortodôntico. Materiais e Métodos: A perceção da assimetria facial de 52 crianças com MCPU foi avaliada, antes e depois do tratamento ortodôntico, através de fotografias de frente em repouso, por oito especialistas em Ortodontia. A avaliação foi realizada em dois momentos, com um intervalo de duas semanas, através de uma Escala Visual Analógica, de forma a quantificar a simetria de 0 a 100 e identificar a direção, direita ou esquerda, do desvio assimétrico da face, quando presente. A diferença na perceção de assimetria facial nas crianças, antes e depois do tratamento ortodôntico foi avaliada com o teste t para amostras emparelhadas e a associação entre a perceção de assimetria e o lado da MCPU com o teste qui-quadrado, usando o programa SPSS. O nível de significância estatística foi fixado em 0,05. Resultados e Conclusões: A assimetria facial é percetível em crianças com MCPU antes do tratamento (x̄ = 6,0±6,3; p  0,001) e reduziu-se significativamente com o tratamento ortodôntico (x̄ = -6,5±9,5; p  0,001, deixando de ser percetível pós-tratamento (x̄ = -0,5±7,8; p  0,64). Verificou-se uma associação significativa entre a perceção do lado da assimetria facial e o lado da mordida cruzada, antes e depois do tratamento (p  0,001).

Introduction: Unilateral posterior crossbite (UPC) has several consequences, including changes in dentofacial growth and temporomandibular joints, premature dental attrition, and facial asymmetry. Orthodontic treatment, in addition to optimal dental alignment and functional occlusion, also aims at the harmony of soft tissues and smile as well as facial symmetry. However, the relationship between UPC and facial symmetry has been little investigated. Aim: This investigation aimed to evaluate and compare the perception of facial asymmetry in children with UPC, before and after orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The perception of facial asymmetry of 52 children with UPC was evaluated, before and after orthodontic treatment, through frontal photographs at rest, by eight orthodontic specialists. The evaluation was performed in two moments, with an interval of two weeks, through a Visual Analog Scale, to quantify the symmetry from 0 to 100 and identify the direction, right or left, of the asymmetric deviation of the face, when present. The difference in the perception of facial asymmetry in children before and after orthodontic treatment was evaluated with the t-test for paired samples and the association between the perception of facial asymmetry side and the PCU side with the chi-square test, using the SPSS program. The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05. Results and Conclusions: Facial asymmetry is noticeable in children with UPC before treatment (x̄ = 6.0±6.3; p  0.001) and was significantly reduced with orthodontic treatment (x̄ = -6.5±9.5; p < 0.001), no longer being perceptible after treatment (x̄ = -0.5±7.8; p = 0.64). There was a significant association between the perception of the facial asymmetry side and the crossbite side before and after treatment (p < 0.001).
