The Nasal Obstruction Balance Index: A Novel Approach to Improving Correlation Between Unilateral Nasal Airway Measurements and Evaluating Nasal Airway Asymmetry

Nasal wall lateralization: a novel technique to improve nasal airway obstruction.

he nasal valve is the narrowest region of the nasal passage, nd the main, flow-limiting segment of the nasal cavity.1,2 ariations in the size and shape of the nasal cavity affect he rate and pattern of airflow and influence nasal function. t therefore seems likely that improved nasal patency may lleviate snoring and sleep-disordered breathing.3,4 Traditional surgical management of nasal obstruc...

Nasal airway obstruction and facial development.

The relationship between nasal airway size and nasal-oral breathing.

Most clinicians agree that impaired nasal breathing results in obligatory mouth breathing. Some believe that mouth breathing influences dentofacial growth; others disagree. The term mouth breathing is confusing because total mouth breathing rarely occurs. A combination of nasal and oral breathing is more usual. The purpose of the present study involving 116 adult subjects was to (1) assess the ...
