RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible correlation between the respiratory standard in determining the craniofacial dimensions, using as baseline the Tweed-Merrifield s cephalometric analysis, added to the angle SN-GoGn and to the angle of the axis Y. The selected sample to this study was made of 50 telerradiografic taken in lateral norm and natural head position of the from young female patients at the age of 9 to 12 years old, presenting an average age of 10 years and 5 months of Class 1 malocclusion. After the respiratory standard diagnosis, the sample was divided in two groups: control group, 25 telerradiografic of nasal breathers in lateral norm and natural position of the head; experimental group, 25 telerradiografic of mainly buccal breathers in lateral norm and natural position of the head. The results were submitted to a descriptive analysis (average and standard deviation), test F and test "t" of "student" with a significance level of 5%. It was verified that there was not a significant difference between the group with nasal breathing and the group with mainly buccal breathing for none the cefalometric values studied.
