Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare how different orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatments affect the posterior airway space (PAS) in patients with Class II and Class III malocclusions.
- Researchers analyzed pre- and postsurgical X-rays of 53 Caucasian patients divided into four groups based on their malocclusion type and surgical method, measuring changes at six levels of the PAS.
- Results showed significant increases in PAS measurements, especially in Class II patients undergoing monognathic surgery, while bignathic surgery resulted in less change in both Class II and III patients, highlighting the importance of considering PAS alterations in treatment planning.
