Abstract:Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long‐term volumetric changes of the upper airway compartments in response to counterclockwise bimaxillary advancement surgery with multi‐piece maxillary osteotomy, and to analyse the relationship between the postoperative stability of the maxillomandibular skeletal complex, and the volumetric airway changes over‐time.
Methodology
Twenty‐seven sets of pre (T0), post (T1) and follow‐up (T2) (20.15 months) CBCT scans were used. The upper airway was isolated into… Show more
