Unlike patients receiving implants or endodontic treatment, most orthodontic patients are
children who are particularly sensitive to ionizing radiation. Cone-beam computed …

A systematic review of the literature concerning upper airway imaging and analysis using
cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed. A PubMed search (National …

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to compare the precision and accuracy of 6
imaging software programs for measuring upper airway volumes in cone-beam computed …

Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the nasal passage (NP) and oropharyngeal (OP)
volumes of patients with different dentofacial skeletal patterns. Methods The study sample …

Background Several semi-automatic software are available for the three-dimensional
reconstruction of the airway from DICOM files. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

INTRODUCTION: Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is known to improve nasal airway
ventilation. Recent evidence suggests that RME is an effective treatment for obstructive …

INTRODUCTION: In this systematic review, we identified and qualified the evidence of long-
term reports on the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on airway dimensions and …

Objectives: To evaluate, by using cone beam computed tomography, the skeletal, dental,
oropharyngeal (OP) airway volume, and nasal passage (NP) volume changes that occur …

PURPOSE: The present study was undertaken to investigate the changes in the normal
upper airway during growth and development using 3-dimensional computer analysis from …

The exact boundaries of the upper airway subregions remain undefined. Consequently,
anatomical limits vary greatly among different research groups and impede unbiased …
