■确定与颅面形态有关的牙骨参数与上气道(UA)体积之间的相关性。
■使用NemoFabOrtho软件分析了106例随机选择的正畸患者的锥形束计算机断层扫描图像。评估的牙骨骼变量是前面部高度(AFH),后面部高度(PFH),PFH/AFH比值,舌骨位置,上颌宽度(MW),和腭深。还使用相同的软件评估UA体积(在解剖区域和作为整体的评估)。我们还评估了年龄和性别组之间UA变量的潜在差异。使用Pearson相关系数(R)计算牙骨参数与UA体积之间的相关性。进行方差分析和学生t检验以评估UA变量的年龄和性别之间的差异。使用SPSS软件(用于Windows的版本26)进行统计分析。
■这项研究发现,PFH,AFH,和MW是与UA体积最密切相关的牙骨骼参数。然而,ANB角度与UA体积无显著相关性.此外,观察到各年龄组之间UA体积的差异.在口咽部和咽部体积的“8-12”和“≥16”年龄组中都发现了性别差异。
■总而言之,我们的发现表明UA体积与牙骨骼参数之间存在显着相关性,特别是那些与面部高度和MW有关的。
UNASSIGNED: To determine the correlation between dentoskeletal parameters related to craniofacial morphology and the upper airway (UA) volume.
UNASSIGNED: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 106 randomly selected orthodontic patients were analyzed using NemoFab Ortho software. The dentoskeletal variables assessed were anterior facial height (AFH), posterior facial height (PFH), PFH/AFH ratio, hyoid position, maxillary width (MW), and palatal depth. The UA volume (evaluation in anatomical regions and as a whole) was also assessed using the same software. We also evaluated potential differences in UA variables between age and sex groups. The correlation between the dentoskeletal parameters and UA volume was calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient (R). Analysis of variance and Student\'s t test were performed to assess differences between age and sex for UA variables. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (version 26 for Windows).
UNASSIGNED: This study found that PFH, AFH, and MW were the dentoskeletal parameters most strongly correlated with UA volume. However, the ANB angle did not show any significant correlation with UA volume. Additionally, differences in UA volumes were observed between age groups. Sex differences were found in both the \"8-12\" and \"≥ 16\" age groups for oropharyngeal and pharyngeal volumes.
UNASSIGNED: In conclusion, our findings indicate a significant correlation between UA volume and dentoskeletal parameters, particularly those related to facial height and MW.
