“…The similar finding was also reported by other lateral cephalometric analysis or 3-dimentional CT research [34,35]. In addition, Taylor et al [36] reported that the growth of the oropharynx has two periods of accelerated change (6-9 years and 12-15 years) and two periods of quiescence (9-12 years and 15-18 years) for the growth of oropharynx, but Mislik et al [37] found there was no radical change in the retropalatal and retroglossal oropharynx from 6 to 17 years of age, and considered that the upper airway dimensions were formed and matured during the early periods of growth. Because the chronological regularity of growth of Chinese children is still unclear, we consider that the norms obtained from 12-year-old Chinese children are only relevant to the age around 12-year-old.…”

ObjectiveTo establish cephalometric norms for the upper airway of 12-year-old Chinese children, and to assess these norms with regard to gender, age, ethnicity and other craniofacial structures.MethodsLateral cephalograms were obtained from a random sample of 425 12-year-old Chinese children (224 boys and 201 girls) to establish the Chinese norms, and from a matched group of 108 12-year-old Caucasian children (61 boys and 47 girls) as an ethnic comparison. Published data on the upper airway norms of Chinese adults were used to make age comparisons. Nine upper airway and 14 craniofacial variables were measured.ResultsChinese boys tended to have a thicker soft palate (P = 0.008), and less depth in the retropalatal (P = 0.011), retroglossal (P = 0.034) and hypopharyngeal (P < 0.001) pharynx than Chinese girls, whereas no gender dimorphism was found in Caucasian children. Ethnic differences were found in the depth of the retroglossal oropharynx in both genders and the position of the hyoid bone in boys. Compared with Chinese adults, the overall size of the upper airway in Chinese children was smaller. The mandibular body length and the craniocervical inclination were found to be statistically significantly, albeit weakly correlated with upper airway variables.ConclusionsCephalometric norms for the upper airway of Chinese 12-year-old children were established, indicating gender-specific differences, and some ethnic differences were found in comparison with those of 12-year-old Caucasian children. An association between the mandibular body length and the craniocervical inclination with upper airway variables was also noticeable.

Introduction: The incidence of congenital hypodontia is increasing in daily practice. Early diagnosis of this dental disorder and the associated skeletal malocclusions is crucial for successful and stable final rehabilitation. Aim: Comparison of cephalometric findings of patients with hypodontia of 1–4 teeth with the measurement results of the control group without teeth agenesis. Material and method: We evaluated the lateral X-ray of 41 patients with 1–4 teeth agenesis selected from patients referred for orthodontic treatment to the Orthodontic Department of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy from Târgu Mureş within a two-year period. The results were compared with the values of the age and sex matched control group. Results: Bilateral upper incisor and lower bicuspid were missing in most of the hypodontia cases. When looking at the NSGn angle predicting the growth direction of the mandible, statistically significant differences were found between the male (p = 0.012), the front (p = 0.010) and the hypodontia group (p = 0.024) and the control group. Regarding the ANB angle, which shows the sagittal position of the maxilla to the mandible, statistically significant differences were found between the subgroups (women, men, anterior or posterior hypodontia) and the control group. Conclusion: Larger number of skeletal class 3 and vertical hypodivergent tendency were observed in the hypodontia group. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(6): 214–219.

“…Morphological correlations of craniofacial and cervical spine bone structures with the upper respiratory tract (URT) have been the focus of scientific studies for many years now. The literature points to some studies illustrating relations between the URT dimensions and morphology of the craniofacial hard tissues, [1][2][3] as well as investigations showing changes in URT dimensions resulting from orthodontic procedures. 4,5 The correlation between URT morphology and age of the evaluated individuals has been confirmed by numerous studies.…”

Wstęp. Morfologiczne korelacje struktur kostnych twarzoczaszki i szyjnego odcinka kręgosłupa z górnymi drogami oddechowymi (GDO) od lat stanowią temat badań naukowych. Istnienie korelacji między morfologią GDO a wiekiem osób badanych potwierdzają liczne badania. W piśmiennictwie wykazano, iż morfometria GDO charakteryzuje się występowaniem dymorfizmu płciowego u badanych w różnych przedziałach wieku. Wymiary GDO różnicują się również w zależności od przynależność osób badanych do jednej z trzech klas szkieletowych. Cel. Celem pracy było stworzenie modeli wielowymiarowych, które uwzględniając wiek, płeć i klasę szkieletową osób badanych opisywałyby morfologiczne zależności między ustną a krtaniową częścią gardła oraz górnym piętrem twarzy a szyjnym odcinkiem kręgosłupa. Materiał i metody. Do badania zakwalifikowano 229 osób. Badanie miało charakter retrospektywny. Do kryteriów włączających należała obecność zdjęć kefalometrycznych bocznych (LCR)
