Abstract:
Objective:To study the difference of upper airway form and hyoid position of the adults with different vertical facial types.Methods:Cephalograms of 120 adults with different vertical facial types were retrospectively investigated by computerized cephalometric analysis.Upper airway depths and hyoid position were measured,and differences were compared between male and female,also compared among different vertical facial type groups.Results:The sagittal depth of upper airway in male was larger than that in female,but there was no statistical difference except V-LPW.Among different vertical facial types,the sagittal depths of upper airway in high angle group was smaller than that in average angle group and low angle group.There was statistical difference in hyoid position between genders,AH-SN,AH-FH and AH-C3 in male were larger than in female(P
