| Abstract | |
Orthognathics surgery modern uses the measure of soft tissue profile to stablish a relation with osseous basis. However, digital methods have been used to aid the prediction and accuracy of surgical planning. The present study compared the measures obtained from the cephalometric analysis of the soft tissues from brazilian northeast with the ones obtained by Sant´Ana et al. (2009). The work was performed by using cephalometric radiograph and measured by the Dolphin Imaging 11.0 version. Twenty-six individuals (5 male and 21 female) were the sample of this study. The results were inserted in an Excel program and were analyzed with the non paired parametric t test. The results showed that the brazilian northeast have the medium third less prominent, thicker lower lip, more obtuse nasolabial angle, smallest angle of the upper lip and less protruding upper incisor in relation to the brazillian southeast. The conclusion of this study was the existence of statistically significant differences in the soft tissue profile compared to the brazilian northeast to the southeast. (AU) | |
