RESUMO

The posttreatment stability was always a delicate issue in Orthodontics. Most of the orthodontic patients and even the orthodontists judge their treatment as successful based on the treatment outcomes stability in the long-term. Because of this reason the literature has a lot of studies about this issue, mostly on relapse of mandibular anterior crowding. However the interest on maxillary anterior crowding and its relapse has been growing because of the greater conscious on smile esthetic among patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the relapse of maxillary anterior crowding in cases presenting Angles Class I and Class II malocclusions. The experimental sample consisted of 70 patients divided into 3 groups. Group 1 comprised 30 patients (12 male; 18 female) at a mean initial age of 13.16 years, with Class I malocclusion, treated with all first premolars extraction. Group 2 comprised 20 patients (11 male; 9 female) at a mean initial age of 12.95 years, with Class II division 1 malocclusion, also treated with all first premolars extraction. Group 3 comprised 20 patients (10 male; 10 female) at a mean initial age of 13.09 years, with Class II division 1 malocclusion, treated with extraction of two maxillary first premolars. Dental casts measurements were obtained at three stages (pretreatment, posttreatment and postretention) and the variables assessed were Little Irregularity Index, maxillary arch length, intercanine, interpremolar and intermolar widths. The statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests if necessary (intragroup comparison) and by independent t-tests (intergroup comparison). As the results among the groups did not show statistically significant difference, the experimental sample was unified in order to inve stigate, using Pearson correlation coefficient and Multiple linear regression, if some studied variable would have influence the crowding in the three stages (IRLS1, IRLS2, IRLS3). The results showed that the maxillary crowding relapse (IRLS3-2) is influenced by the initial (IRLS1), and the teeth tend to return to their pretreatment position. The females presented more maxillary anterior crowding relapse than males.
