aleatoriamente en 2 grupos, experimental y control. Se tomaron radiografías cefalométricas iniciales a ambos grupos. Los cerdos del grupo experimetal fueron sometidos a una glosectomía parcial. Al cabo de un mes y medio de crecimiento, se tomaron nuevas radiografías cefalométricas al grupo
experimental y al grupo control. Los estudios demostraron disminución en
el crecimiento del maxilar y la mandíbula en sentido antero posterior y disminución de la inclinación del incisivo inferior del grupo experimental comparados con el grupo control.
ABSTRACT
This is an experimental, prospective and longitudinal study, where it was evaluated influence of the tongue on
occluso-maxillary growth of the pigs. We took four 1-month-old pigs. They were separated in control and experimental groups. Initial cefalometric radiograph was taken in both groups. Then, experimental group pigs were partially glossectomized. After one month and a
half we took another cefalometric radiograph in control and experimental group. We observed that mandibular and maxillary growth was significantly reduced lengthwise. It was seen a disminished inclination of mandibular incisors in glossectomized animals compared to control group.
Key words: Glosectomy. Occluso-maxillary. Growth
