RESUMO
ABSTRACT
Almeida NV. The nasolabial angle and the upper incisor inclination. [dissertation].
Niterói: Universidade Federal Fluminense, Faculdade de Odontologia; 2016.
1- INTRODUÇÃO
O contorno dos tecidos moles do terço inferior da face, nariz, lábio superior,
lábio inferior e mento é influenciado pela movimentação dentária ortodôntica e pode
estar diretamente relacionada com as relações e posições dos tecidos duros.3
Portanto, as modificações das posições e inclinações dentárias proporcionariam
alterações no perfil facial, desejáveis ou não.2
O ANL é formado pela parte inferior do nariz e o lábio superior, sendo o ponto
subnasal onde o lábio superior e o septo nasal definem este ângulo. Se a depressão
é uma curva suave, subnasal é o ponto mais côncavo nesta área, medido em ângulo
de 45º a partir do assoalho nasal.12,13 Este ângulo tem grande importância na
avaliação do perfil facial, e maior ênfase deveria ser dada para determinar ou obter o
valor normal para este ângulo durante o tratamento ortodôntico.4
Em brasileiros com oclusão normal e harmonia facial, a medida para o ANL foi
de 104,93° em repouso e de 110,67° durante sorriso.19 Em turcos a média do ANL
foi de 107,05º, sendo de 105,7º para homens e 108,4º para mulheres. Em
europeus/americanos a média é de 102º.20

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
Improved facial aesthetics and a pleasing smile are the main reasons for
seeking orthodontic treatment. Therefore, the facial contour should be considered as
an important factor in determining the treatment. Dental extractions are indicated to
retract protruding lips,1,2 given that changes in the position of the maxillary anterior
teeth can change the relationship between the soft tissues in the facial profile,1,3-11
and affect the normal nasolabial angle (NLA).
The NLA is formed by the relationship between the region below the nose and
the upper lip. This is the subnasal point, whereby the upper lip and the nasal septum
are defined.12,13 This angle plays a key role in evaluating the facial profile and
therefore, greater emphasis should be given to determining this value during
orthodontic treatment.4
A value of 110º is acceptable as normal for the NLA. 13-15 However, this value
tends to vary depending on the population studied and the different aesthetic
standards prevalent in each time period.16-23
Usually, after premolar extractions the NLA tends to increase its value,
although it may also to maintain its measurement or decrease it.6-9,11,24-29 However,
changes in the angle are accompanied by other changes in the profile, such as a
foreseeable improvement in lip protrusion, and also it is noteworthy that the changes
are small and there is considerable individual variation.25
Given the importance of NLA for diagnosing, planning and treating orthodontic
cases for which extractions are indicated, and in view of the doubts raised by the
literature related to this subject, it is imperative to carry out studies to clarify the
relationship between incisor movement and changes in NLA.
19
METHODS
To calculate the sample size the initial and final measurements of the maxillary
incisor inclination of 10 patients from the sample (pilot study) were compared.
Sample size calculation was used for subsequent comparisons using t-test and
BioEstat 5.3 software30 with the test power set to 0.90, and α = 0.05. The calculation
indicated the need for 21 participants in each group, totaling 63 participants.
The inclusion criteria required that patients present with Angle Class I
malocclusion in permanent dentition or late mixed dentition, and undergoing
orthodontic treatment with extraction of the 4 first premolars. Patients with dental
anomalies and cleft lip fissures, as well as syndromic patients, were excluded.
Figure 1. Image with the lines and angles used in radiographic analysis.
The images were calibrated in the Radiocef software through the commands
"Image - calibrate images" at a distance of 10 mm between points 5 and 6 of the ruler.
The images were then adjusted to the following tools: grey scale, pseudo-coloring,
negative and zoom, for better viewing of the points.

The data from the 63 study participants were divided into 3 groups according
to their initial nasolabial angle (NLA), thus the four groups with their initial NLA mean
and standard deviations are show on Table 2.
Table 2. Total sample and groups with mean and standard deviation at the beginning
of treatment.
ANOVA test with Tukey's post-hoc test was performed to detect differences
between groups and Student's t-test was used to compare the initial and final means
for the total sample, and for the 3 groups.
In order to apply Pearson’s correlation test the values of the supplementary
angle of the measurement of the 1.NA (Figure 2) were used. The difference between
the initial and final values is not changed; only the value sign will change, eventually
becoming consistent with any changes in the nasolabial angle (opening or closing of
the NLA, and opening and closing of the supplementary angle 1.NA).
RESULTS

with interval of 15 days.
Mean
ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test was performed to detect any differences
between the 3 groups (Table 4). There was a statistically significant difference
between the groups, indicating that they have different baseline characteristics in
their nasolabial angle (NLA).
Table 5 shows the results of variations between the initial and final
measurements for the total sample, and for the 3 groups.
A significant statistically difference was found between the initial and final
measurements, both in the NLA and the 1.NA, in the Total Sample, in Group 1
(closed NLA), and in Group 2 (medium NLA).

Pearson’s correlation test between the differences of the initial and final
measurements of the NLA compared to the mean difference of the 1.NA in the initial
and final supplementary angles, both in the total sample, and in the 3 groups are
show in Table 6. When Pearson’s correlation test was applied to the total sample, a
value of 0.3183 was found for R, with a moderate positive correlation between
variables, statistically significant (p = 0.0110). The value of R2, i.e., the coefficient of
determination, was 0.1013, and the equation for explaining the dependence is y =
+4.4129 -0,5225x (Table 6 and Figure 3).

The results found in the correlation can also be understood by analyzing the
initial and final mean values of the NLA and 1.NA (Table 4) since both angles varied
significantly. The association relationship can be seen in Figure 3 to 6.

the dependence of these variables in Group 1 (Closed NLA).
The measurements obtained for Group 2 (Medium NLA) showed results that
resembled those of Group 1, and the total sample according to Student’s t-test. In
this group there was a change of 4.87º in the NLA and -4.30 in the 1.NA (Table 5);
both measures showed statistically significant differences. Despite significant results
between initial and final NLA and 1.NA, Pearson’s correlation test, when using the
difference of the supplementary 1.NA angle, showed a moderate positive correlation
with the R value (0.2314), and p = 0.3127. Figure 5 illustrates the behavior of
dependence of these variables in Group 2 (Medium NLA).
Group 3 (Open NLA) was observed (Table 5) with t-test in both measures,
NLA and 1.NA, no statistically significant differences. The changes that occurred
were -1.92º in NLA, and -0.75º in 1.NA. Pearson correlation results were similar to
the others, with an R value of 0.0197, and R2 of 0.0004, which reflected a weak
positive correlation. Figure 6 depicts the behavior of this measure in Group 3.
27
DISCUSSION
Given an appropriate sample, one that can be divided into different groups to
investigate NLA’s variation association with the inclination of the maxillary incisors
(1.NA) the significance of positioning the maxillary incisor for a better aesthetic
appearance of the NLA can be determined. ANOVA in combination with Tukey's test
showed the presence of statistically significant differences in the initial
28
measurements of the NLA between the 3 groups (Table 4). Therefore it can be
concluded that the total sample was suitably divided.
As can be seen in the values shown in Table 5, both in the total sample and in
the 3 groups (open, medium and closed), NLA measurements experienced some
improvement. As regards the total group, NLA ranged from 102.14 to 106.83
degrees; in Group 1 (closed NLA) improved from 88.90 to 99.67 degrees and in
Group 2 (medium NLA) ranging from 102.91 to 107.78 degrees, with statistical
significance.
One can therefore consider that in the total sample as well as in the 3 groups
the mean final NLA remained within normal limits.13-15 Furthermore even in
orthodontic treatments requiring extractions the value of the NLA found here can be
considered ideal given that the aesthetic features were not adversely affected, and
provided that this measure (NLA) remains within a normal range.
Figure 7 illustrates the behavior of the NLA in the total sample and in the 3
groups, all of which tended towards the recommended or standard values.
Figure 7. Variation in the measure of the NLA in the total sample and in the 3 groups.
29
In the total sample the NLA rose by 4.69º, and the 1.NA decreased by -3.61º.
This finding points to a positive association, since the maxillary incisor was uprighted
by 3.61 degrees. A similar behavior of the NLA was reported by other
authors,9,11,24,26-29 and even after extractions the angle remained within the normal
limit of 75% of the total sample.11
The 1.NA measure ranged from 25.75 to 22:14 degrees in the total sample,
which can be considered as normal or standard measurements; 35 in Group 1 (closed
NLA) it ranged from 20:55 to 26.46 degrees, and in Group 2 (medium NLA) from
26.44 to 22.14, all with statistical significance.
In Group 3 (open NLA), the 1.NA ranged from 24.42 to 23.67 degrees, with no
statistical significance. Although there was a slight variation (less than one degree), it
can be stated that a good position was maintained for the upper incisors. Besides, if
one examines the standard deviation values, it was improved in some cases.
It can be asserted that even in the case of extractions with an open NLA, and
good tooth movement control, specifically, with incisor translation in space closure
procedures, and even palatal root movement (torque movement), no harm will be
done to facial aesthetics, nor will the NLA’s mean or standard values be in any way
compromised.
uprighting of incisor inclination (-0.75), the NLA value remained virtually unchanged
from baseline (-1.92), even showing improvements over recommended actions. 13-15
Most studies that evaluate soft tissue changes after extractions are performed
with a sample of patients presenting with Class II malocclusion. This study was
conducted only on Class I patients in cases with extraction of 4 premolars. The study
is therefore characterized by a focus on specific information pertaining to the subject.
It does not rule out suggestions from further studies with larger and more specific
samples.
As becomes clear from the results, an relationship was found between the
nasolabial angle (NLA) and maxillary incisor inclination. Therefore, the diagnosis of
each extraction case should be performed on an individual basis to determine the
type of movement of the maxillary incisors (uprighting, maintaining or increasing the
root inclination towards palatal (torque),37 needed to achieve optimum NLA results.

CONCLUSIONS
At the end of treatment the NLA either improved or remained close to the
recommended mean, both in the total sample and in the groups with open, medium
or closed NLA.
