Three-dimensional analysis of pharyngeal airway volume in adults with anterior position of the mandible

Correlation between Pharyngeal Airway Space and Craniofacial Morphology - A Cephalometric Study

“…This finding is in accordance with earlier studies carried out by Claudino et al 14 and Hong et al 26 Celikoglu et al conducted a study and found a negative correlation between the growth pattern of the individual and the pharyngeal airway dimensions. 27 In the present study although the lower anterior face height (LAFH) and the mandibular plane angle (MPA) both showed a mild negative correlation, it was statistically insignificant.…”

A comparative study of the pharyngeal airway space, measured with cone beam computed tomography, between patients with different craniofacial morphologies

“…Thanks to the introduction of CBCT, a renewed interest in the field of upper airway characterization has been recently generated, causing a huge increase in publications in orthodontics and oromaxillofacial surgery (Grauer et al, 2009;Iwasaki et al, 2009;Kim et al, 2010;Lenza et al, 2010 andAlves et al, 2012). Recent CBCT studies found interesting results in the study of the pharyngeal airway in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery (Hong et al, 2011a), observing the relationship of skeletal, dental, and oropharyngeal airway volume and nasal passage volume changes after quick maxillary expansion (El et al, 2011), or analysing pharyngeal space according to skeletal class malocclusion or facial pattern (Hong et al2011b; M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 5 tridimensional assessment and airway anatomical limit definition. Gravity can produce movements in oropharyngeal structures in response to postural changes between sitting upright and lying in the supine position (Sutthiprapaporn et al, 2008).…”

Upper Airway Changes After Mandibular Setback and/or Advancement Genioplasty in Obese Patients

“…[30][31][32][33] We referred to those studies and took other measurements for our work. In our study, we chose four different horizontal plates to measure cross-section areas of the upper airway.…”
