Longitudinal study of mandibular behavior in Class I subjects with vertical and horizontal growth

OBJETIVO: avaliar as possíveis diferenças no comportamento mandibular em indivíduos Classe I com crescimento vertical e horizontal. MÉTODOS: a amostra desse estudo consistiu de 20 indivíduos Classe I não tratados, sendo o grupo 1 composto por 10 indivíduos com padrão de crescimento vertical e o grupo 2 por 10 indivíduos com padrão de crescimento horizontal, pertencentes aos arquivos do Burlington Growth Center, University of Toronto, no Canadá, acompanhados radiograficamente nas idade de 9, 12 e 21 anos. Determinou-se, por meio de telerradiografias cefalométricas, em norma lateral, os valores médios para a avaliação longitudinal do comportamento da mandíbula utilizando as medidas SNB, Co-Gn, SN.GoMe, altura facial anterior e altura facial posterior. RESULTADOS: o valor de SNB e Co-Gn foram maiores no grupo com crescimento horizontal em todas as idades. A medida Sn.GoMe foi significativamente menor no grupo com crescimento horizontal, a altura facial anterior (AFH) apresentou valores menores nos indivíduos com padrão de crescimento horizontal, e a altura facial posterior (PFH) apresentou valores menores nos indivíduos com crescimento vertical. CONCLUSÃO: as comparações longitudinais das tendências de crescimento de indivíduos Classe I indicam que existe diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos. A mandíbula apresentou tendência à rotação horária no grupo 1. O grupo 2 exibiu tendência à característica de indivíduos braquicefálicos, na forma facial, devido ao déficit no desenvolvimento vertical na altura facial anterior.

Tratamento da classe II hiperdivergente com o aparelho extra bucal de Thurow modificado

Objectives: natural dentofacial changes and that induced by the Thurow modified extra oral appliance (TMEOA) were evaluated in this prospective study. Methodology: the data consisted of fifteen Class II division 1 children 7 to 10 years old, with anterior open bite and hiperdivergent facial pattern treated with the Thurow appliance and of fifteen Class II division 1 children followed longitudinally from 6 to 12 years of age without treatment (Burlington Growth Centre, Toronto University, Canada). The analyses were based in traditional measurements obtained in lateral cephalometric radiographs scanned with the aid of the software Radiocef Studio®. Radiographs were taken in the beginning and after 1 year of treatment for the treated group and at the 6, 9 and 12 years of age for the control group. Results: the data analysis showed that the TMEOA significantly reduced the SNA, ANB, AOBO, SNPOc SNPM, SGO/NMe, OJ e OB. On the other hand the appliance did not interfere with the SNB e SNPP. The natural growth promoted significant change in the ANB, AOBO, SNPOc, OJ e OB from 6 to 9 years and in the SNB, SNPOc e SGo/NMe from 9 to 12 years. The restriction of the maxillary growth (SNA), reduction of the skeletal discrepancy (ANB) and the reduction of the overjet (OJ) were significant with the treatment considering the natural growth as verified in the control group. Conclusion: the TMEOA corrected the skeletal Class II malocclusion by maxillary restriction, reducing the overjet, closing the anterior open bite and decreasing both the hyper divergent facial pattern and mandible plane inclination.

Avaliação cefalométrica das alterações do perfil facial naturais e induzidas pelos aparelhos de Herbst e Bionator no tratamento da má oclusão de classe II, divisão 1ª

The aim of this study was to evaluate the facial profile changes due to natural growth and induced by Herbst appliance and Bionator in the treatment of Class II, division 1 malocclusion. In order to do that, we used a sample of 90 lateral radiographs of 45 individuals in pre-pubertal stage, divided up in two experimental groups and one control. The first group, composed of 15 brazilian individuals, with initial mean age of 9.4 years, was treated with the Herbst appliance for a period of seven months. The second experimental group consisting of 15 brazilian individuals, initial mean age of 9.9 years has gone through bionator therapy for an average period of 21 months. The control group of 15 individuals, who were not treated orthodontically, comes up from the Burlington Growth Centre, University of Toronto, Canada. The intragroup comparison was performed using the Student t test and intergroup comparisons by ANOVA complemented by the Bonferroni test. The results have shown that only the group treated with the Herbst appliance presented significant changes in facial profile with improvement of its convexity and lower lip protrusion.

The Beach in Anglophone Literatures and Cultures: Reading Littoral Space

From early colonial encounters to the ecological disasters of the twenty-first century, the performativity of contact has been a crucial element in the political significance of the beach. Conceptualising the beach as a creative trope and as a socio-cultural site, as well as an aesthetically productive topography, this collection examines its multiplicity of meanings and functions as a natural environment engendering both desire and fear in the human imagination from the Victorian period to the present. The contributors examine literature, film, and art, in addition to moments of encounter and environmental crisis, to highlight the beach as a social space inspiring particular codes of behaviour and specific discourses, as a geographical frontier between land and water, as an historical site of contact and conflict, and as a vacationscape promising regeneration and withdrawal from everyday life. The diversity of the beach is reflected in the geographical range, with essays on locales and texts from Britain, Ireland, the Caribbean, South Africa, the United States, Polynesia, and New Zealand. Focusing on the changed function of the beach as a result of processes of industrialisation and the rise of a modern leisure and health culture, this interdisciplinary volume theorises the beach as a demarcater of the precarious boundary between land and the sea, as well as between nature and culture.
