RESUMO

The present study aimed to retrospectively compare the postretention stability of maxillary anterior incisors alignment in Angle Class I and Class II patients. Sample comprised 38 patients of both genders, treated nonextraction and edgewise mechanics. Sample was divided into two groups: Group 1 (Class I) comprised 19 patients (12 females and 7 males), at a mean age of 13,06 years (d.p. = ± 1,27), with Class I malocclusion and initial maxillary anterior crowding greater than 3mm. Group 2 (Class II) comprised 19 patients (14 females and 5 males), at a mean age of 12,54 (d.p. = ± 1,37), with Class II malocclusion, and also with a initial maxillary anterior crowding greater than 3mm. It was measured the dental casts of pre (T1), posttreatment (T2) and postretention (T3), the Little irregularity index, intercanine distance and between first and second premolars, intermolar distance and maxillary arch length. After obtainment of data, the statistical analysis was performed. For intragroup comparison among the three times of evaluation, it was used the one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test in case of a significant result. Intergroup comparison was performed by independent t tests. To verify the presence of correlation among the relapse of maxillary anterior crowding and the relapse of the variables: intercanine, interpremolar and intermolar distances and arch length, the Pearson correlation test was used. Results evidenced greater stability of treatment in group 2 (Class II), because during the postretention period, it was observed a lesser relapse of maxillary anterior crowding in group 2 (0,80mm) than in group 1 (1,67mm). It was concluded that treatment of maxillary anterior crowding is more stable in Class II malocclusion than in Class I malocclusion.
