Comparison of Pharyngeal Airway Width among Individuals having Skeletal Class I Malocclusion with Different Growth Patterns

Introduction: An interaction can be seen between respiratory function and the maxillary growth pattern. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess compare pharyngeal airway width of individuals with different patterns in skeletal class I malocclusion. Materials Method: Analytical cross-sectional done total 60 cephalometric radiographs malocclusion pattern selected through convenience sampling method. McNamara analysis measure upper lower space. Statistical SPSS version 20. One way ANOVA Post Hoc test were determine mean difference space Result: There no significant (p=0.201) three However, participants vertical showed significantly less (8.36±2.63mm) than horizontal (10.89±3.46 mm, p=0.028). Conclusion: The findings conclude that malocclusion, there is dimensions among but shows smaller dimension
