ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To analyze the morphological changes of the upper airway and related influencing factors in patients with skeletal Class â ¢ malocclusion after bimaxillary surgery.METHODS:
Twenty skeletal Class â ¢ patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(BSSRO) for maxillary advancement and mandibular setback were selected. The patients received CT scans before(T0) and 3-6 months after surgery, and the images were reconstructed three-dimensionally with Dolphin Imaging 11.9 software. Changes in the volume, cross-sectional area, and landmarks of each soft and hard tissue of the airway were measured. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 25.0 software package.RESULTS:
The volume of nasopharyngeal airway increased after operation (Pï¼0.05), and the volume of oropharyngeal airway decreased significantly(Pï¼0.01). The cross-sectional area of the airway at the plane of the second cervical vertebra was significantly decreased (Pï¼0.01), and the coronal and sagittal diameters were decreased(Pï¼0.05). The change of nasopharyngeal airway volume was moderately positively correlated with the sagittal change of the posterior nasal spine (r=0.460, Pï¼0.05), and the change of oropharynx and laryngopharyngeal airway volume was positively correlated with the vertical change of the midpoint of the soft palate(r=0.496, 0.696, Pï¼0.05). The airway cross-sectional area in the second and third cervical vertebra planes and the sagittal diameter of the airway in the third cervical vertebra plane were positively correlated with the vertical changes of the midpoint of the soft palate(r=0.474, 0.629, 0.547, Pï¼0.05). The change of airway cross-sectional area at the third cervical vertebra plane was moderately negatively correlated with the change of mandibular plane angle(r=-0.536, Pï¼0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
The volume and cross-sectional area of oropharyngeal airway in skeletal Class â ¢ patients after bimaxillary surgery will decrease. However, the total upper airway volume doesn't change significantly. The changes in the upper airway are correlated with the changes in some soft and hard tissue landmarks.
