      Concordância entre método antropométrico e cefalométrico na classificação do tipo facial. (Portuguese)
    • Abstract:
      Purpose: to check the correspondence between the facial types of children obtained by facial morphologic index and with the Ricketts VERT index of the cephalometric analysis. Methods: 57 children aged between 7 and 12 years old evaluated by orofacial anthropometric evaluation considering measure of facial height and width to obtain facial index and type and by cephalometry were observed the quantity of vertical facial growth. The results were statistical analyzed by weighted up Kappa coefficient. Results: there was a poor concurrence between the facial types obtained by two methods. Conclusion: the anthropometry is considered an important resource at orofacial morphology evaluation however the facial morphologic index doesn't replace the Ricketts VERT index of the cephalometric analysis to determination of the facial type.

      Objetivo: verificar a correspondência entre os tipos faciais de crianças, obtidos por meio do índice morfológico da face e com o índice VERT da análise cefalométrica de Ricketts. Métodos: 57 crianças entre 7 e 12 anos foram avaliadas por meio de avaliação antropométrica orofacial, em que foram consideradas as medidas de altura e largura facial para obtenção do índice e tipo facial, e pela cefalometria, na qual foi observada a quantidade de crescimento vertical da face. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente por meio do coeficiente Kappa ponderado. Resultados: houve uma concordância fraca entre os tipos faciais obtidos por meio dos dois métodos. Conclusão: a antropometria é considerada um importante recurso no exame de motricidade orofacial, entretanto o índice facial não substitui o índice VERT da análise cefalométrica de Ricketts para determinação do tipo facial.
