“…That is, the size of adenoids varies from child to child and even in the same child as he or she grows (7). This difference in size and thus the degree of obstruction has been shown to impact significantly on dental development in these patients (21).…”

Objective: The study objective was to assess the effect of adenoid hypertrophy on the dental arch dimensions of children in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.Methods: Ninety patients aged 3-12 years attending the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Ile-Ife diagnosed as having hypertrophied adenoids and 90 children from the Child Dental Health Clinic were recruited as adenoid and control subjects respectively. Arch and palatal vault dimensions, including total arch length; inter-canine, inter-premolar, and inter-molar widths; palatal length; and palatal heights measured at three levels and palatal volume were determined for both groups from dental casts.Results: Maxillary arch dimensions were shorter in the adenoid group than the control group; however, only total maxillary arch length was significantly shorter (p=0.049). Mandibular arch dimensions with the exception of inter-molar width were significantly shorter in the adenoid group (p<0.05). Adenoid subjects had significantly increased palatal heights at canine, premolar, and molar levels and reduced palatal volume compared to the control subjects (p<0.05). Conclusion:Adenoid subjects demonstrated shorter maxillary and mandibular arch dimensions compared with control subjects, with the differences being more evident in the lower arch. They also exhibited increased palatal heights at all levels and reduced palatal volume compared with control subjects.

Objective: To examine changes in hyoid to mandibular plane distance (H-MP) and tongue length (TL) between children who had orthodontic treatment with and without rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Materials and Methods: Lateral and frontal cephalograms of 138 patients treated with RME and 148 controls treated without RME were used to measure pretreatment (T 1 ) and posttreatment (T 2 ) intermolar (IM) distance, lateronasal width (LNW), H-MP, and TL. Medical histories were used to collect demographic information, history of mouth breathing, difficulty breathing through the nose, and previous adenotonsillectomy. Groups were group-matched for age and gender. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Group means were compared using t-tests and chi-square statistics. Reliability was estimated using intraclass correlations and kappa statistics. Statistical significance was set at P , .05. Results: At T 1 , the RME group showed smaller LNW (24.83 6 1.99 vs 26.18 6 2.05) and IM (50.17 6 2.3 vs 51.58 6 2.83). The distance from H-MP was longer in the RME group (15.69 6 3.95 vs 13.86 6 3.4). Mean changes (T 2 2 T 1 ) in the RME group were increased LNW (+2.48 6 1.38 vs +0.94 6 1.11 for the non-RME group) and IM (+3.21 6 1.72 vs +0.98 6 1.67). The mean change (T 2
