“…Cephalometric performed by means of lateral teleradiography has been shown to be an important instrument in the multidisciplinary field for evaluating the upper airways [ 13 , 14 ] because it is easily accessible and low cost, highly reproducible, and the individual is submitted to a low dose of radiation [ 4 , 15 ]. Thus, innumerable studies have sought associations of the physical characteristics related to these airway spaces, as a way of predicting pathologies [ 13 – 20 ].…”

“…There are studies in the literature about changes in the upper airways resulting from orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery or in individuals diagnosed with sleep apnea [ 4 – 7 ]; however, few studies have shown evidence of the airspace related to facial types and Angle Class I individuals, and this information is relevant to assist in orthodontic planning.…”

BackgroundCraniofacial growth pattern has been correlated with variations in size of the upper airway spaces. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and hypopharyngeal airway spaces variations according to the craniofacial growth pattern, by comparing brachyfacial, mesofacial, and dolichofacial in Angle Class I individuals.MethodsTo measure the spaces, 45 lateral teleradiographs were used and divided into 3 groups per the craniofacial growth pattern, determined by the Tweed cephalometry angular measurements: FMA and Y-axis. To evaluate the airways, sleep apnea cephalometry was used, containing 28 points that compose 14 factors. Three groups were compared relative to each of the 14 sleep apnea cephalometry measurements. Adherence test to the normal curve was performed. For the non-normally distributed data—measurement of the inferior pharyngeal space—the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison between the groups. For the remaining data, the distribution was normal and ANOVA test was used.ResultsStatistically significant difference was verified among the groups for the measurement of the median posterior-palatal space, with the difference being pointed out by the post hoc test between the brachyfacial and dolichofacial groups. For the other measurements, there was no statistically significant difference.ConclusionsIt could be concluded that there was difference in the median posterior-palatal space measurement, in the oropharynx region, which was reduced for individuals with a dolichofacial pattern.

“…Los estudios cefalométricos para el estudio de la forma y caracteristicas del componente cráneo-maxilomandibular, son muy utilizados en el anáisis de sujetos con deformidades faciales y en la correlación con algunas patologías, como la apnea del sueño (Borges et al, 2015) y la calcificaciones de tejidos blandos (Garay & Olate, 2013), entre otras. Sujetos con respiración bucal por obstrucción de vía aérea superior muestran cambios en los análisis, por ejemplo, en el ángulo maxilomandibular (Pulido Valladares et al, 2012).…”

1,4,5 GUERRERO, M.; OCAMPO, J. & OLATE, S.Comparación entre las técnicas de Ricketts y McNamara para la determinación de la posición del maxilar y la mandíbula en jóvenes del Ecuador. Int. J. Morphol., 36(1):169-174, 2018. RESUMEN:Los análisis cefalométricos, a partir de una radiografía lateral de cráneo, son amplios y variados considerando tanto los patrones funcionales como los de estética facial. Entre las técnicas de medición en cefalometría, Ricketts y de McNamara son ampliamente utilizados; ambas le entregan importancia a determinar la posición del maxilar y de la mandíbula con diferentes relaciones esqueletales. El objetivo de esta investigación es comparar ambas técnicas en una población joven de Ecuador; se realizó un análisis de concordancia utilizando el índice kappa de Cohen entre los resultados de las mediciones correspondientes a 44 radiografías cefálicas laterales de sujetos jóvenes entre 18 y 27 años de edad, de ambos sexos. En relación a la posición maxilar, el 56,82 % (IC 95 %: 42,18 % -71,45 %) coinciden en el diagnóstico de protrusión maxilar; el índice de concordancia kappa de Cohen fue de 0,599 (IC 95 %: 0,354 -0,854) con un valor p<0,05. En relación a la posición mandibular, el 50,0 % (IC 95 %: 35,23 % -64,77 %) coinciden en el diagnóstico de retrusión mandibular; el índice kappa de Cohen fue de 0,460 (IC 95 % 0,229 -0,691) con un valor p<0,05. Se concluye que, a pesar de manejar puntos de referencia cefalométricos diferentes, las dos técnicas de medición cráneo-facial son útiles para el estudio de posición de maxila y mandíbula. Existen diferencias entre algunos analisis de ambos estudios que pueden incidir en la selección terapéutica de potenciales pacientes.

“…This process is labor and resource intensive and time consuming, leading to a limited number of available appointment slots in most hospitals. Because of these limitations, various alternative diagnostic techniques (such as the Mueller maneuver, 5,6 x-ray cephalometry, [7][8][9][10][11][12] upper airway endoscopy during sleep and sedated sleep) have been proposed as alternatives. [13][14][15][16][17] The potential benefits of these methods over simple clinical assessment remain under discussion.…”
