A estatística exerce um papel fundamental no método científico, a qual se preocupa em organizar, descrever, analisar e interpretar os dados obtidos a partir de uma observação ou de um experimento. Todavia, ela continua sendo pouco acessível na interpretação, seja por parte do leitor ou por parte daquele que a utiliza. Às vezes, a estatística é mal aplicada ou não compreendida devido aos termos, com significado próprio. Além disso, existem poucos artigos científicos da área de Ortodontia relacionados com este assunto. Assim, o presente artigo propõe realizar um levantamento sobre as freqüências do uso da estatística, fazer considerações sobre a seleção dos seus métodos e explanar sobre as possíveis interpretações dos resultados.

A busca pela excelência na estética facial tem sido uma realidade nos consultórios dos profissionais de saúde. Dentre os aspectos procurados pelos pacientes, destaca-se o aumento do contorno dos lábios, cada vez mais realizado e pesquisado por dermatologistas e cirurgiões-plásticos. Embora bons resultados sejam alcançados com os mais diversos procedimentos para preenchimento labial, a literatura mostra diversas complicações e efeitos colaterais. Este artigo demonstra, por meio de 2 casos clínicos, como a Ortodontia pode representar uma excelente ferramenta para auxiliar no aumento do contorno dos lábios, tornando a abordagem multidisciplinar uma estratégia mais efetiva na conquista de bons resultados clínicos

As fibras de vidro e de polietileno podem ser utilizadas na prática ortodôntica em diversas situações clínicas, nos casos com ou sem extrações dentárias. Este artigo tem como objetivo mostrar algumas das aplicações clínicas nas quais as fibras contribuíram de forma significativa para a realização dos tratamentos ortodônticos, simplificando-os e aumentando a eficiência clínica. As fibras foram utilizadas principalmente em segmentos de ancoragem e na substituição da banda pela colagem da associação fibra/tubo nos molares.

INTRODUÇÃO: o mercado de trabalho tem se mostrado saturado de profissionais atuando nos grandes centros urbanos e, por este motivo, as estratégias de produtividade são imprescindíveis. A delegação de funções aos auxiliares odontológicos tem se tornado vital e corriqueira para aqueles que exercem a Ortodontia. OBJETIVO: conhecer o perfil do cirurgião-dentista especialista nesta área e as funções delegadas por ele à equipe auxiliar. METODOLOGIA: foi aplicado um questionário a todos os especialistas em Ortodontia e Ortopedia Facial inscritos no Conselho Regional de Odontologia de Goiás, com atividade em Goiânia e Aparecida de Goiânia. RESULTADOS E CONCLUSÃO: os resultados demonstraram que os ortodontistas, de um modo geral, aproveitam bem a mão-de-obra auxiliar chegando até a ultrapassar os limites ético-legais.

Introduction: The knowledge of dental occlusion should be considered the basic foundation to an excellent orthodontic practice. The patient's diagnose without the centric relation assessment can take the orthodontist to an unpleasant surprises. The use of rectangular archwires requires occlusal contacts been checked to decide what kind of the dental movement will be necessary to achieve the dental equilibrium and mainly to investigate if the movement will be possible. Considering the occlusal surfaces complexity, the occlusal adjustment by selective grinding should be performed during the orthodontic treatment to allow vertical dental movements reducing treatment's time. Occlusal interferences are responsible not only for biomechanics adverse effects, producing undesirable dental movements, but also for potential side effects such as excessive forces (occlusal trauma), leading to roots reabsorption. The occlusal adjustment is a determinant point on dental balance after the end of orthodontics treatments, where each posterior occlusal tooth contacts A and B, or B and C on buccolingual aspect, as well as the stoppers and equalizers contacts on mesiodistal direction must be achieved and well established. The appropriate role of anterior teeth in mandibular movements must be determined, allowing immediate disclusion of posterior teeth, known as anterior guide, and promoting protecting muscle forces to the stomatognathic system. Selective grinding should not be used. in place of well planned and executed orthodontic movement. Aim: The aim of this article is to present the rationale use of occlusal adjustment in Orthodontics.

Introduction: The cost of orthodontic treatment is a very important issue. The aim of this study was to analyze the current Indicative Values for Dental Procedures (IVDP) for orthodontic procedures. Methods: Laws, dental entities papers and scientific literature were utilized. Results: Laws are too general and only offer abstract parameters when define remunerations. Current IVDP vary in the same State, according to the consultant entity. Dental entities interpret that general clinicians can practice Corrective Orthodontics, but new scientific studies begin to question this understanding. The Brazilian Association of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (ABOR) suggests that IVDP for orthodontic specialty must be formulated. Conclusion: Current IVDP are not standardized and are below the correct values for orthodontic procedures, because they are the mean of general clinicians and orthodontists remunerations; and ABOR is legally and ethically supported to claim specific IVDP for orthodontic specialty.

The knowledge of the facial growth trend is very important in orthodontic treatment. A lateral headfilm is recommended in all young patients undergoing a preorthodontic guidance program to anticipate the best time to begin any mechanical procedures and the possibilities to determine the type of facial growth trend. In type A it will be observed that the middle and lower face are growing forward and downward in unison, with no change in ANB angle. Type B growth trends reveals that growth is downward and forward, with the middle face growing forward more rapidly than the lower and in type C the lower face is growing downward and forward more rapidly than the middle face revealing a decrease in the size of the ANB angle.

In recent years the number of adult Patients who seek esthetic treatments has increased. Among the patients main concern, lip augmentation has increased, and this procedure has been very well performed and studied by dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Although Orthodontics can achieve good esthetic results through teeth and jaw proper positioning it is a time consuming approach and it discloses some anatomical and biological limitations. Dermatology may be an excellent alternative to enhance orthodontic results through lip augmentation. The aim of this paper is to discuss some dermatology techniques currently available to augment the lips as well as describe a case report highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approach to enhance facial esthetics goals.

Introduction: The request of three-dimensional images (3D) of the dentomaxillofacial complex has increased. Hence, new possibilities for assessment, treatment as well as follow-up after treatment have increased their importance with the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The images in two dimensions (2D) have inherent problems that can be solved with treedimensional images assessment. Objectives: To clarify the main doubts about the operational mechanism of complementary diagnostic method; to explain the advantages and disadvantages, to discuss the effective radiation dose and possible applications in orthodontia. Conclusion: The information generated by 2D images from the CBCT does not show differences that may endanger the orthodontic planning when compared with the images of 2D conventional radiographs. The effective radiation dose received by the patient should not be considered as a limiting factor of the tomography exam request.
