Investigation of the Relationship Between Maxillary Growth Direction and Anatomical Variations of the Sinonasal Region Case-Control Research Maxillary Growth Direction and Sinonasal Anatomic Variations

Objective: This study investigated the frequency of anatomic variations in sinonasal region with septal deviation and relationship these developmental direction maxilla cone-beam computed tomography images. Material Methods: Forty-eight patients who underwent orthognathic surgery were included this study. These divided into 3 groups: normal (n=16), prognathic retrognathic (n=16) by determining position maxillae relation to skull base on lateral cephalometric radiographs. The presence maxillary sinus ostium (MSO) obstruction studied all groups. between anatomical different aspects was analyzed. Results: most common changes were: hypertrophy inferior turbinate (68.8%), nasal septum (66.7%), concha bullosa (62.5%). No statistically significant difference found groups skeletal deformities based (p>0.05). While there a gender distribution middle (p=0.016), no other Conclusion: In conclusion, study, we growth.
