Abstract

To evaluate the association between orbicularis oris thickness and skeletal and dental variables in children with mixed dentition. Material and method: A convenience sample of 22 children, aged 7 to 12 years, with skeletal Class I and Class II malocclusion and subdivisions were selected. The upper and lower fascicles of the orbicularis oris thicknesses were measured using ultrasound (US) by one calibrated examiner, at rest and in the contracted state. Cephalometric radiograph measurements of the hard and soft tissues were calculated by one trained examiner. The results were analyzed by the Pearson and Spearman coefficients. Result: The upper and lower fascicles of the orbicularis oris in the contracted state showed a negative correlation with the distance between Ricketts’ E-line and the labrale superius (E ┴ Ls). There were positive correlations between the lower face height and the distance between the AB plane and the labrale superius (AB-Ls) and between the ANB angle and the distance between E ┴ Ls and Ricketts’ E-line and the labrale inferius (E ┴ Li). The lower-incisor distance from the N-Pg plane correlated positively with the distance between AB-Ls and the distance between the E ┴ Ls and E ┴ Li. Overbite and interincisal angle were negatively correlated with the distance between the pogonion and the soft tissue pogonion and the distance between E ┴ Li, respectively. Conclusion: Skeletal and dental variables were associated with upper and lower lip position and pogonion thickness, while the upper and lower fascicles of the orbicularis oris thicknesses in the contracted state were associated only with upper lip retrusion.

Resumo

Verificar a associação entre a espessura do orbicularis oris e as variáveis esqueléticas e dentárias em crianças com dentição mista. Material e método: Foi selecionada uma amostra de conveniência de 22 crianças, de 7 a 12 anos, com maloclusões Classe I e Classe II esqueléticas e subdivisões. As espessuras dos fascículos superior e inferior do orbicularis oris foram mensuradas, em repouso e em contração, por um examinador treinado utilizando ultrassom. As medidas cefalométricas dos tecidos duros e moles foram calculadas por um examinador treinado. Os resultados foram analisados pelos coeficientes de Pearson e Spearman. Resultado: Houve correlação negativa entre os fascículos superior e inferior do orbicularis oris em contração e a distância entre a linha E de Ricketts e o lábio superior (E ┴ Ls). Houve correlação positiva entre a altura inferior da face e a distância entre o plano AB e o lábio superior (AB-Ls) e entre o ângulo ANB e a distância entre E ┴ Ls e a linha E de Ricketts e o lábio inferior (E ┴ Li). A distância do incisivo inferior do plano N-Pg correlacionou-se positivamente com a distância entre AB-Ls e a distância entre E ┴ Ls e E ┴ Li. A sobremordida e o ângulo interincisal correlacionaram-se negativamente com a distância entre o pogônio e o pogônio mole e a distância entre E ┴ Li, respectivamente. Conclusão: As variáveis esqueléticas e dentárias estiveram associadas à posição dos lábios superior e inferior e a espessura do pogônio, enquanto que as espessuras dos fascículos superior e inferior do orbicularis oris em contração estiveram associadas à retrusão do lábio superior.
