| Abstract | |
The assumption that extraction treatment can impair the facial profile has discouraged this treatment protocol in Class II malocclusion. This study aimed to assess whether there is influence of three different treatment protocols for Class II division 1 in the profile attractiveness by the end of treatment and in the long-term. Cephalometric measurements were obtained from the radiographs through the software Dolphin Imaging 11.5 and comparisons were made among the three groups for the two times. The groups were divided according to the treatment protocol: without extraction (XP0), with extraction of 2 maxillary premolars (XP2) or extraction of 4 premolars (XP4). Sixty-eight full Class II division 1 treated patients, matched by sex, end of treatment age, long-term posttreatment age, occlusal outcomes (index Objective Grading System) and overjet (final and in the long-term) were evaluated. The group XP0 consisted of 20 subjects, on average 29.94 (± 7.35) years old and 15.62 (± 7.22) years posttreatment. The group XP2 was composed of 27 individuals on average 30.56 (± 5.74) years old and 15.09 (± 4.79) years posttreatment. The XP4 group comprised 21 individuals on average 32.29 (± 5.70) years old and 17.20 (± 5.76) years post-treatment. The lateral radiographs taken by the end of treatments and in the long-term resulted in two profile black silhouettes of each patient. Through a website, laymen (77) and orthodontists (77) assigned scores from 1 to 10 to the each silhouettes attractiveness, according to their personal criteria. Laypeople were more critical than orthodontists. Analysis of covariance revealed that the age or sex of the evaluators did not interfere on their opinions. Analysis of variance revealed that the facial pattern was slightly more vertical in the group XP4 compared to XP2. Twoway Analysis of Variance revealed that the profile attractiveness in XP2 was significantly higher than in XP4 by the end of treatments and in XP0 were similar to both. In the long-term the attractiveness in XP2 group were significantly higher than both groups XP0 and XP4. There were no significantly differences between the cephalometric changes in the posttreatment period. (AU) | |
