Dimensional changes of upper airway after rapid maxillary expansion: a prospective cone-beam computed tomography study.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this prospective study was to use cone-beam computed tomography to assess the dimensional changes of the upper airway in orthodontic patients with maxillary constriction treated by rapid maxillary expansion. METHODS Fourteen orthodontic patients (mean age, 12.9 years; range, 9.7-16 years) were recruited. The patients with posterior crossbite and constricted maxilla wer...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Study of Upper Airway in Different Antero-posterior Jaw Relationships through Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Introduction: This study aims at examining the difference of pharyngeal airways in patients with different occlusion postures, hoping to improve diagnostic methods and provide a stable treatment plan for orthodontic patients. Materials and Methods: The data were ga-thered through CBCT radiographies of patients from a specialized center for radiology. In each occlusion group according to the p...
متن کاملEvaluation of upper airways after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal Class III pattern using cone-beam computed tomography
INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that mandibular setback surgery, combined or not with maxillary advancement as a treatment alternative for patients with mandibular prognathism, can induce changes in upper airway space (UAS). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the response of the upper airway in the oropharynx region of patients with Class III skeletal pattern that underwent bimaxillary or...
متن کاملEffect of mono- and bimaxillary advancement on pharyngeal airway volume: cone-beam computed tomography evaluation.
PURPOSE To evaluate pharyngeal airway volume changes after forward movements of the maxilla or mandible, or both, using cone-beam computed tomography. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective evaluation of 30 patients who underwent maxillomandibular advancement, maxillary advancement, or mandibular advancement was performed. Three groups of 10 subjects each were established: group 1, bimaxillary ...
متن کاملUpper airway expansion after rapid maxillary expansion evaluated with cone beam computed tomography.
OBJECTIVE Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a reliable method of assessing the oral cavity and upper airways. We conducted this study to examine the changes introduced by rapid maxillary expansion in the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and oropharynx as seen with images obtained by CBCT. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 15 patients with maxillary width deficiency treated with RME. Patients...
