RELACIÓN DE LA POSTURA DE LA CABEZA Y EL ESPACIO FARÍNGEO EN PACIENTES CON MALOCLUSIÓN CLASE II ESQUELÉTICA

Objective: to establish the relationship between the posture of the head and the pharyngeal space in adults over 18 years with class II skeletal malocclusion using cephalometric analysis.Methods: a cross sectional descriptive study was done with a sample of 100 lateral cephalic radiographs. The Rocabado’s cephalogram was done in every radiograph to verify the possible changes in accordance with standard values in order know its impact on patients with craniofacial skeletal class II patients.Results: the evaluation was done in lateral cephalic radiographs from100 people who reported a mean age of 23 ± 5.6, 63% recorded a normal upper pharyngeal space, 54% had a neutral position of the hyoid bone. A posterior extension angle was showed in 55%, 59% had a distance CO - C1 normal. There was a statistically significant difference between the posterior angle and the age categorized.Conclusions: there were no clear associations between the position of the head and pharyngeal space in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion.
