Correlation between Pharyngeal Airway Space and Craniofacial Morphology - A Cephalometric Study
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of craniofacial morphology on pharyngeal airway space (PAS) in individuals with normal sagittal skeletal pattern. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 adult female patients with skeletal Class I jaw relationship were included in the study. Lateral cephalograms were obtained and hand traced. Various soft and hard tissue points...
متن کاملRetrospective study of changes in pharyngeal airway space and position of hyoid bone after mandibular setback surgery by cephalometric analysis
BACKGROUND The posterior movement of mandible was known as the main cause of the changes in the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) and the postoperative obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The purpose of this study was to know the changes of PAS and position of hyoid bone. METHODS Lateral cephalographies of 13 patients who had undergone sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) setback surgery were taken p...
متن کاملMandibular morphology in monozygotic twins: a cephalometric study.
BACKGROUND The understanding of relative effects of genetics and environmental factors on mandible growth would increase effectiveness of orthodontic therapy and treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the skeletal morphology of mandible is phenotypically alike in two individuals in a pair of young adult monozygotic (MZ) twins. METHODS The 90 twin pairs were class...
متن کاملCephalometric changes in adult pharyngeal morphology.
This cephalometric study investigated morphological changes occurring in the pharynx between early and middle adult life. A sample of 16 young adults (mean age 20.2 years) had cephalometric films taken and repeated after an interval of 32 years. Changes in pharyngeal skeletal size, pharyngeal soft tissue thickness, pharyngeal airway depth, and soft palate dimensions were examined, in addition t...
متن کاملRetrospective study on change in pharyngeal airway space and hyoid bone position after mandibular setback surgery
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the pharyngeal airway space and hyoid bone position after mandibular setback surgery with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) and to analyze the correlation between the amount of mandibular setback and the amount of change in pharyngeal airway space or hyoid bone position. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2010 to F...
