Evaluation of Pharyngeal Airway Volume in Individuals with Different Skeletal Patterns

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate and compare the airway shape and volume using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), which allows three-dimensional examination of the airway in individuals with different skeletal patterns. Materials and Methods: For this retrospective study, a total of 235 CBCT images were selected from the archives of Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Oral Diagnosis and Radiology. Selected CBCTs were first divided into three groups according to their ANB angles: Class I (0

Farklı İskelet Yapısına Sahip Bireylerde Faringeal Havayolu Hacminin Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Bu retrospektif çalışmanın amacı, farklı iskelet yapısına sahip bireylerde havayolunun 3-boyutlu incelenmesine olanak veren konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) yardımıyla havayolu şeklini ve hacmini değerlendirmek ve karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmada Dicle Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı arşivinden toplam 235 KIBT görüntüsü seçildi. Seçilen KIBT’ler ilk olarak ANB açılarına göre Sınıf I (0
