Abstract

Aim: This study was designed to investigate the response of the respiratory structures to orthognathic surgery in patients with Class III malocclusion, with a specific emphasis on the vertical placement of the hyoid bone. The correlations of these changes were also analysed, followed by further subgroup analyses based on preoperative conditions.

Materials and methods: Dolphin software was used to obtain cephalometric landmarks, airway and hyoid bone measurements from pre- and postoperative CBCT scans of 31 patients. Statistical analyses included paired t-tests and Pearson's correlation analysis.

Results: Stomatological mandibular values and the nasopharynx height showed significant changes. Pearson's correlation identified significant correlations between changes in B and H horizontal coordinates (p < 0.05), as well as between changes in H longitudinal coordinates and specific airway dynamics (p < 0.05). Patients with a lower preoperative hyoid position experienced a more pronounced decrease in hypopharyngeal airway volume after surgery compared to those with a higher preoperative hyoid position, as evidenced by the significant mean differences and p values (p < 0.01).

Conclusions: Class III patients experienced airway constriction following orthognathic surgery, particularly those with a lower preoperative hyoid bone position, who showed a more significant decrease in hypopharyngeal airway volume postsurgery compared to those with a higher preoperative hyoid position. These findings underscored the importance of individualised surgical planning and highlighted the need for further research with dynamic assessments to optimise respiratory outcomes.

期刊介绍: Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions. The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements. The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
