RESUMO

The latencies of the blink reflex and the caphalometric indexes of 30 male volunteers were studied. Ten (10) were white, 10 were black and 10 were asian. The ages ranged from 15 to 59 years, the heights from 1,60 to 1,80 m, and the weight from 60 to 80 kg.The blink reflex records, after unilateral electric stimulation of the supraorbital nerve, allowed reliable quantitative analysis of 3 responses in the orbicu/aris ocu/i muscle: early ipsilateral (RI), late ipsilateral (R2i) and late contralateral (R2c). The cephalometric indexes were obtained multiplying by 100 the ratio between the longer head transversal diameter and the longer head sagital diameter. The latencies of the RI, R2i and R2c responses were consistent with other reports, and revealed no differences among the studied groups. The mean of the cephalometric indexes of each group were consistent with the respective racial characteristics. This study revealed that there are no differences among the RI, R2i and R2c latencies in the studied races.
