RESUMO

In this research a comparison was made between the differences in measurements obtained using the soft tissue profile?s cephalometric analysis based on Arnett?s facial analysis related to the true vertical with the cephalometric analysis of soft tissue profile based on the Frankfurt Plan. A total of 140 lateral cephalometric radiographs were used as part of the orthodontic documentation, taken from patients whose ages ranged from 06 to 49 years of age, of these 64 males and 76 females, being part of the files of the IOM (Instituto de Odontologia Multidisciplinar do Rio de Janeiro). The lateral cephalometric radiographs were obtained from the same operator obeying the protocols adapted by the IOM. All patients were oriented to place themselves in the Natural Head Posture using, as a reference, a mirror in front of then and the true vertical line was obtained using a metal wire and a plumb-line, placed close to the frontal chassis of the film chamber, in such a way that it appears in front of the soft tissue profile of the patient. Parting from the lineal measurements obtained from the Cephalometric Analyses of the Soft Tissues statistical analyses were made relating to two objectives: to compare the measurements from A to I obtained from the drafts/ sketches (one using as it reference a perpendicular to the Frankfurt Horizontal Plane and the other the True Vertical Line), comparatively analyse these results. After the statistical analysis (Kolgomorov Smirnov) for a normal data distribution: t-student for matched pairs and the no-parametric Wilcanox test) and the analysis of the results obtained, it was concluded that there were significant differences between the forms of the measurements of the variables A, B, C, D, F, G and I since the descriptive value (p-value) was below 0,05. The measurements for E and H, however, being over 0,05, showing than there were no significant differences between these forms of measurement. The correlation between the demonstrated measurements established by Arnett?s facial analysis, in accordance with this study, should not be used in patients who have undergone lateral cephalometric radiograph initiated on the basis of the Frankfurt Horizontal Plane except in the case of interlabial distance represented by the measurement H, which even differences in this study, does not have, according to Arnett?s studies, correlations with any other measurements.
