“…18 The majority of patients with OSA display obstruction of the respiratory tract caused by the displacement of the soft tissues during sleep and pose a greater risk for the narrowing of the upper airway. 36 Schwab et al 37 suggested that examination of the soft tissue structures surrounding the upper airway can lead to an understanding of the airway changes and stated that the pharyngeal walls, soft palate, and tongue should be considered as important structures in determining the airway dimensions.…”

“…Cephalometric performed by means of lateral teleradiography has been shown to be an important instrument in the multidisciplinary field for evaluating the upper airways [ 13 , 14 ] because it is easily accessible and low cost, highly reproducible, and the individual is submitted to a low dose of radiation [ 4 , 15 ]. Thus, innumerable studies have sought associations of the physical characteristics related to these airway spaces, as a way of predicting pathologies [ 13 – 20 ].…”

BackgroundCraniofacial growth pattern has been correlated with variations in size of the upper airway spaces. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and hypopharyngeal airway spaces variations according to the craniofacial growth pattern, by comparing brachyfacial, mesofacial, and dolichofacial in Angle Class I individuals.MethodsTo measure the spaces, 45 lateral teleradiographs were used and divided into 3 groups per the craniofacial growth pattern, determined by the Tweed cephalometry angular measurements: FMA and Y-axis. To evaluate the airways, sleep apnea cephalometry was used, containing 28 points that compose 14 factors. Three groups were compared relative to each of the 14 sleep apnea cephalometry measurements. Adherence test to the normal curve was performed. For the non-normally distributed data—measurement of the inferior pharyngeal space—the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison between the groups. For the remaining data, the distribution was normal and ANOVA test was used.ResultsStatistically significant difference was verified among the groups for the measurement of the median posterior-palatal space, with the difference being pointed out by the post hoc test between the brachyfacial and dolichofacial groups. For the other measurements, there was no statistically significant difference.ConclusionsIt could be concluded that there was difference in the median posterior-palatal space measurement, in the oropharynx region, which was reduced for individuals with a dolichofacial pattern.

“…Numerous studies report that OSA is closely related with anthropometric measurements obtained by diagnostic imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging and lateral cephalography. [7,12,18,24,29].…”
