RESUMO

Two studies have shown that there are morphologic differences in the nasopharynx between the major racial groups. This investigation was conducted to see whether these morphologic differences affected nasal respiration. Twenty-two West Indian and 24 white children (mean age of 13 years 11 months) were studied to examine the relationship between nasorespiratory function and nasopharyngeal and dentofacial structure. The nasorespiratory function was measured in terms of nasal respiratory resistance, NRR, (Pascals/cm3 per second), both by anterior and posterior methods, with a computerized rhinomanometer. Nasopharyngeal structure described in terms of cephalometric variables. The West Indian cephalometric profile generally conformed to its existing description in the literature including prognathic jaws and bimaxillary proclination; in addition, the West Indians were found to have a greater bony nasopharyngeal width (posterior nasal spine-basion) and shallower nasopharyngeal roof angle (posterior nasal spine-hormion-basion). All rhinomanometry were significantly lower in the West Indian group, especially when posterior rhinomanometry was used. The correlation coefficients between the cephalometric and the rhinomanometric measurements were statistically significant but low. In addition, the measure of mandibular prognathism (angle SNB) was also found to be significantly correlated with the nasorespiratory resistance (AU)
