ABSTRACT

Introduction: the Class II division 1 malocclusion with mandibular retrognathism is a development disorder characterized by excessive overjet, deep bite and retrognatic profile. The Equiplan, based on the neuro - occlusal rehabilitation principles, has been used in the treatment of this malocclusion.
Objective: to evaluate the facial, dent alveolar and cephalometric changes induced by the Equiplan.
Materials and Methods: a prospective and experimental study was made with 9 patients in active growing period, those used the Equiplan. Two evaluations were performed: at the beginning and the end of the treatment.
Results: after treatment, 66,7% of patients reached the straight profile. About overjet and overbite, the rate of differences was 2 mm (significance p=0,007). After treatment, an increase was achieved in all transversal measures (in all cases with p‹0, 05). The effective mandibular length was increased in 2 mm as average (significance difference p=0,007). The lower facial height was increased in 1, 9 mm with a significance difference (p=0,006).
Conclusions: positive changes were accomplished with the Equiplan in three space planes in the Class II division 1 malocclusion.
