The aim of this study was to examine adaptive changes in the cross-sectional area of the
upper airway during mandibular advancement and jaw opening and to explore whether …

Introduction: Mandibular advancement appliances have been used for years in the treatment
of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it has not been completely clarified how the …

Abstract Study Objectives: To examine changes in the upper-airway dimension and its
surrounding structures induced by mandibular advancement during sleep. Design: Eleven …

Objectives: To characterize upper airway volume and morphology in patients with different
skeletal patterns of Class II malocclusion compared to Class I. Materials and Methods: A …

Introduction Airway dimensions are closely linked to the bone and soft-tissue craniofacial
anatomy. Reduction of the airway is seen with airway disorders and can impair function. The …

The objective of this study was to investigate whether a reduction of obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) severity was associated with significant upper airway (UA) changes after an anterior …

Open bite is related to various etiological factors and, in many cases, is difficult to diagnose.
The present study is aimed at evaluating, through cephalometric analysis, the dimensions of …

OBJECTIVE: To test the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the
craniofacial morphology and orofacial airway dimensions between mouth breathing (MB) …

Most clinicians agree that impaired nasal breathing results in obligatory mouth breathing.
Some believe that mouth breathing influences dentofacial growth; others disagree. The term …

Abstract Study Objectives: To characterize tongue and lateral upper airway movement and
to image tongue deformation during mandibular advancement. Design: Dynamic imaging …
