Relação entre o antímero de preferência para apresentação facial e a auto percepção de ações de dominância corporal

Abstract

In dentistry there are areas such as occlusion and facial harmonization for which bilateral measures and balance between facial structures are essential for aesthetic and functional issues. Commonly, in obtaining images (photographs) individuals have a side of preference to be recorded which may be related to the dominant antimers of the eye, chewing and upper limbs (arm). In this sense, for the professional it is essential that the patient has clarity and understanding of what bothers him, in addition to being able to inform the dental surgeon. In this way, both will have positive results. Thus, this study aims to identify a possible correlation between the antimer of preference for image collection, the informed masticatory dominance, the visual dominance and the dominance of the upper limb, in volunteers who transited the streets of the Umuarama neighborhood, Uberlândia-MG. This information was recorded in a questionnaire with structured questions. If there was doubt about the dominant ocular and masticatory antimer, paper with a orifice for vision and chewing gum would be made available. Through the tabulated results it was possible to have data that correlate such parameters and thus being able to have a pattern, and women prefer the left side of the face to show and their dominances in the opposite way being the right side, while men have the right side everywhere, in which it would help the action of the professional in facial harmonization and occlusion. For statistical analysis, Fisher's exact test with p<0.05 and percentage description will be used. It is thus found that there is a neurobehavioral influence between dominance and preference
