| Popis: | Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the effects of single mandibular advancement (MA) and two-jaw surgery (2J-S) on the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) and hyoid position for the correction of skeletal Class II malocclusion. Methods: Eleven adult patients who underwent only MA surgery and twelve adult patients who underwent Le Fort I maxillary impaction-MA surgery (2-JS) were included in the retrospective study. A total of 46 cephalometric recordings obtained before (T1) and after treatment (T2) were examined. Craniofacial changes, area, and linear measurements of the pharyngeal airway and hyoid bone position were obtained in both groups. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to evaluate time-dependent changes within groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare differences between groups. Results: Hyoid-Vert values increased significantly in both groups (MA, p |
