Relación del Incisivo Central Inferior con el Biotipo Facial en SuMédico Guayaquil-2017.

Abstract

Introduction: The lower central incisor with respect to its correct position in the arch defines an important role at the time of making the diagnosis and treatment plan. The facial biotype allows analyzing the dentofacial growth and development, being the basis for the individualized diagnosis of each patient. Objective: To evaluate the inclination of the Lower Central Incisor and its relation to the Facial Biotype without previous orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: 94 lateral skull radiographs were selected, which were classified according to the facial biotype as also the inclusion criterion and exclusion between the age of 15-30 years of each patient by lateral cephalometry of Ricketts whose traced was thought the Digital Dolphin Program of support for its diagnostic as to determine if there are statistically significant differences. Results: Within the three facial biotypes and their relation with the inclination of the lower incisor, there was a higher incidence of protruded incisors, the brachyfacial biotype showed an inclination of 42%, the mesofacial biotype of 39% and the dolichofacial biotype of 38%. Among the data it was observed the lower incisal inclination does not vary de according to the gender. Conclusion: The sample of 94% patients is not statistically according to the correlation of the angle L1 to A-Po with the facial biotype.
