Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To study the changes of dimension and morphology of upper airway in children with ClassⅡ mandibular retrusion after functional treatment by sagittal-guidance Twin-block appliance. METHODS: Cone-beam CT (CBCT) data of upper airway of the subjects were measured by Dolphin 11.5 software and Mimics 17.0 software , and the changes of dimension and morphology of upper airway before and after functional treatment with sagittal-guidance Twin-block(SGTB) appliance were compared. SPSS 16.0 software package was used for data processing. RESULTS: After functional treatment,the volume of total upper airway,nasopharynx airway, oropharynx airway, the sectional area of tip of the epiglotti(TE), the lateral diameter of TE, the base of the epiglottis(EB) significantly increased (P<0.05) in children with SGTB appliance. CONCLUSIONS: SGTB functional treatment is effective in the treatment of skeletal ClassⅡ mandibular retrusion of children by increase of the upper airway and improvement of respiration.
