O presente estudo cefalométrico longitudinal investigou as alterações espontâneas ocorridas em crianças com má oclusão Classe II, divisão 1, Padrão II, em crescimento. Foram selecionadas 40 crianças, 20 meninos e 20 meninas, distribuídas na faixa etária compreendida entre 6 anos e 14 anos de idade. Para avaliar o comportamento das bases apicais, dos incisivos e do tecido mole, as seguintes grandezas cefalométricas foram mensuradas: SN.Ba, SNA, SNB, SND, SN.Pog, ANB, NAP, SN.PP, SN.GoGn, SN.Gn, Ar.Go.Gn, 1.PP, 1.NA, 1.SN, IMPA e ANL. As seguintes grandezas alcançaram significância estatística com o crescimento: SNB, SND, SN.Pog, ANB, NAP, SN.GoGn, SN.Gn, Ar.Go.Gn e IMPA. Os resultados demonstraram que as principais alterações quantitativas registradas estavam relacionadas com o crescimento mandibular, independentemente do sexo. A mandíbula deslocou-se para frente, com tendência de rotação no sentido anti-horário e com conseqüente redução nos ângulos de convexidade facial. No entanto, as oscilações quantitativas nas grandezas cefalométricas não foram suficientes para mudar a morfologia dentofacial ao longo do período de acompanhamento. Conclui-se, portanto, que a morfologia facial é definida precocemente e é mantida, configurando o determinismo genético na determinação do arcabouço esquelético.
The current longitudinal cephalometric study investigated the spontaneous alterations in growing Class II, division 1, Pattern II patients. Forty children (twenty boys and twenty girls) with ages ranging between 6 and 14 years were selected to comprise the sample. The behavior of the apical bases, incisors and facial profile was evaluated on the basis of the following cephalometric measurements: SN.Ba, SNA, SNB, SND, SN.Pog, ANB, NAP, SN.GoGn, SN.PP, SN.Gn, Ar.Go.Gn, 1.PP, 1.NA, 1.SN, IMPA and nasolabial angle. The following measurements were statistically significant along growth: SNB, SND, SN.Pog, ANB, NAP, SN.GoGn, SN.Gn, Ar.Go.Gn and IMPA. The results showed that the main quantitative alterations were related to mandibular growth, regardless of gender. The mandible was anteriorly displaced and tended to present a counter-clockwise rotation and consequent decrease in the facial convexity angles. However, the quantitative changes in the cephalometric measurements were not sufficient to change the dentofacial morphology during the follow-up period. Therefore, facial morphology seems to be defined early and does not change along growth.
