Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to establish reference parameters for facial analysis in subjects with Angle’s Class I occlusion by means of stereophotogrammetry, comparing men and women. Material and method:  Twenty-six healthy young adults with Angle’s Class I occlusion volunteered to participate in the study, 15 males and 11 females, ages between 18 and 30 years old (22 years ± 5). These subjects were clinically examined to verify their type of occlusion. Twenty-five landmarks were performed in soft tissue, and those subjects underwent image capturing by the stereophotogrammetry technique, using the apparatus Vectra (M3-Canfield®). The following variables were measured in those images: naso-labial angle (C-Sn-Ls); (N-Prn​​-Pg); (N-Sn-Pg); mentolabial (Li‑Ps‑Pg); growth angle (T-Go-Pg), cheek area (T, Zy, Chk, Ch, Gn, Go), hemifaces’ areas (T, Zy, Ft, Tr, N, Prn, C, Sn, Ls, Sto, Li Ps, Gn, Go), lip area, bilaterally (Ls, Cph, Ch, Li, Sto), and linear measurements of the lips and jaw. Result and conclusion: The data were compared between genders (Student’s t-test), and no statistically significant differences between groups (p>0.05) were found. Despite the limitations of this study, it is possible to conclude that, as there were no differences between men and women for the studied variables (angular, linear, and area), the data of the total sample (Class I) should be used as reference parameters in future studies. Additionally, the 3D stereophotogrammetry technique has proven to be a new possibility for facial analysis, which might be employed in several areas of dentistry.

Resumo

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi estabelecer parâmetros de referência para análise facial de tecido mole de sujeitos Classe I de Angle por meio da técnica de estereofotogrametria 3D, comparando-se homens e mulheres. Material e método: A amostra foi composta por 26 voluntários (11 mulheres e 15 homens), com idade entre 18  e  30  anos (22±5), em oclusão de Classe I. Estes sujeitos foram submetidos a um exame odontológico para verificação do tipo de oclusão. Foram então demarcados pontos de referência na face e realizada uma tomada fotográfica por meio do aparelho Vectra (M3-Canfield®) para a obtenção de imagens tridimensionais da face. Nas imagens 3D foram mensuradas as seguintes variáveis: ângulos naso-labial (C-Sn-Ls); (N-Prn-Pg); (N-Sn-Pg); mentolabial (Li-Sl-Pg); de crescimento (T-Go-Pg), área das bochechas (T, Zy, Chk, Ch, Gn, Go), hemifaces (T, Zy, Ft, Tr, N, Prn, C, Sn, Ls, Sto, Li, Sl, Gn, Go) e dos lábios bilateralmente (Ls, Cph, Ch, Li, Sto), além de medidas lineares dos lábios e da mandíbula. Resultado e conclusão: Os dados foram comparados entre gêneros (T-student), sendo que não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre-grupos (p>0,05). Considerandose as limitações deste estudo, é possível concluir que como não houve diferenças entre homens e mulheres para as variáveis estudadas (angulares, lineares e de área), sugere-se a utilização dos dados da amostra total (Classe I) como parâmetros de referência para estudos futuros. A estereofotogrametria 3D se mostrou uma nova possibilidade de análise do tecido mole facial, que poderá ser empregada em diversas áreas da Odontologia.
