Resumo: Purpose: The present study compared the measurements of the dental midline to the facial median line evaluated by two methods: clinical exam and postero-anterior cephalometric examination. Methods: The sample comprised 60 Caucasian subjects aged between 22 and 30 year-old, males and females, at the beginning of their orthodontic treatment. The dental midline position of the maxillary and mandibular central incisors was assessed according to routine protocols of the Orthodontics clinics. The radiographic measurements ML1 and ML2 were recorded for the maxillary and mandibular teeth, respectively, in relation to the facial median line, and the corresponding measurements ML3 and ML4 were obtained from the clinical evaluation. The cephalometric points used for the postero-anterior radiography were Cg, ENA, and Pog. Clinical exams used glabella, midpoint of philtrum, and mentons. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and Tukey’s test. Results: The results showed no statistically significant difference among the measurements ML1, ML2, ML3, and ML4 (P>0.05). Conclusion: Both methods were found to be useful for diagnosing the position of dental midline in relation to facial median line, but the clinical method was more practical and objective.

Metodologia: Foram examinados 60 sujeitos leucodermas em fase inicial de tratamento ortodôntico, com idade entre 22 e 30 anos, de ambos os gêneros. Na análise clínica as medidas foram realizadas na linha média dentária superior (LM1) e na linha média dentária inferior (LM2); na análise radiográfica (PA), as medidas foram realizadas entre os incisivos centrais superiores (LM3) e entre os incisivos centrais inferiores (LM4). Os pontos cefalométricos utilizados na radiografia pôstero-anterior foram: Cg, ENA e Pog e na análise clínica foram utilizados como referência os pontos tegumentares da Glabela, centro do filtro do lábio superior e mento. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey. Resultados: As medidas LM1, LM2, LM3 e LM4 não mostraram diferença estatisticamente significante entre si (P>0,05). Conclusão: Pode-se concluir que os dois métodos foram satisfatórios para o diagnóstico do posicionamento das linhas médias dentária superior ou inferior. O método clínico é mais prático e objetivo pela facilidade de mensuração.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2009-03-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articlecross-sectionalapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/3911Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 24 No. 2 (2009); 186 - 189Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 24 n. 2 (2009); 186 - 1891980-65230102-9460reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/3911/4001Santos, Rogério Lacerda dosPithon, Matheus MeloBernardes, Luiz Antônio AlvesRuellas, Antônio Carlos de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T13:15:30Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/3911Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T13:15:30Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
