Características de la posición craneocervical con diferentes oclusiones en pacientes en desarrollo. Relación craneocervical y oclusión

Laburpena

Currently, the relationship between occlusion and posture arouses great scientifi c interest, especially during the establishment of a multidisciplinary treatment. However, the diversity of studies refers mostly to the adult population and there is no common agreement among the different investigations. Based on this, we aimed to study the craniocervical position in different occlusions in the developing pediatric population. Through a crosssectional design, 64 pediatric patients with complete clinical history and high-quality lateral skull radiographs were selected. The variables analyzed by ImageJ® and Nemoceph® software’s were FP-MP, ANB angle, OPT-SN, CVT-SN and Ad1-Ba. Descriptive and comparative statistical analysis was carried out with IBM SPSS Statistics® software, subsequently finding intra-examiner agreement. P-values obtained for each of these variables were 0.846 for FP-MP, 0.008 for ANB angle, 0.155 for OPT-SN, 0.415 for CVT-SN, and 0.221 for CVT-SN. Based on these results, we believe that the craniofacial position in the different occlusions could be determined by the fact that the development has not yet been completed.
