Abstract:

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the differences in maxillary sinus volume (MSV) and oropharyngeal airway volume with different vertical osseous faces in adult skeletal Class Ⅱ patients and explore the correlation between MSV and oropharyngeal airway. Methods A total of 90 adult patients with skeletal type Ⅱ were selected, and their age and gender were strictly matched. Using Mimics 21.0 software, 3D reconstruction of bilateral maxillary sinuses and oropharyngeal airways was performed on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of all samples, and their volumes were calculated. SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis to compare the differences between MSV and oropharyngeal airway volume in different vertical bone profiles and genders and analyze the correlation between MSV and oropharyngeal airway volume. Results The average MSV of adult skeletal Class Ⅱ patients was (18 360.42±3 747.41) mm3, and there was no significant difference between the left and right MSV groups; males were significantly larger than females, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); in the vertical bone surface type grouping, the group was significantly larger than the average and low angle group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01), the average angle group was greater than the low angle group, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The average oropharyngeal airway volume of adult skeletal Class Ⅱ patients was (17 517.80±6 056.33) mm3; males were significantly larger than females, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01); from the high angle group, the average angle group to the low angle group, the oropharyngeal airway volume gradually increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). MSV was negatively correlated with oropharyngeal airway volume, and the correlation coefficient was -0.458 (P<0.01). Conclusion In adult patients with Class Ⅱ skeletal malocclusion, those with large mandibular plane angles had larger MSV and smaller oropharyngeal airway volume, and there was a significant negative correlation between MSV and oropharyngeal airway volume.
