RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to determine retrospectively, by means of lateral cephalograms, the postsurgical changes in the facial soft tissue profile in class III patients (n=18) submitted to Le Fort I osteotomy, for maxillary impaction and advancement within the ?V-Y? suture. Caucasian individuals constituted the sample, and average age was 23 years old and 7 months. The cephalograms were obtained in maximum intercuspation with the lips at rest. The patients were evaluated in two times, the first period was in the immediate pre-surgical (M1) and, one year after the surgical procedure (M2). In order to answer the purpose of this study, skeletal and facial soft tissue measurements were compared before and after the surgery, by means of paired Student t tests, and the Pearson?s correlation coefficient for skeletal and facial soft tissue relevant measurements, using the variations (after and before) between the values. The relationship between the significant variations was evaluated by means of linear regression analysis. The findings indicated that there was not statically significant difference in the vertical plane, for the studied dentalskeletal and facial soft tissue values, exception for the value of the mandibular plane angle. However, there was direct correlation between then, except for the values of the mandibular plane angle-ANS; mandibular plane angle-PNS, and nasolabial angleupper incisors. In the horizontal plane, there was statically significant difference between the dental-skeletal values and facial soft tissue, related to the maxilla and there was not in the values related to the mandible. The numerical prediction of the facial soft tissue changes occasioned by the impaction and maxillary advancement is subject to individual responses.
