Background and Aim: Severe mandibular deficiency may result in reduced oropharyngeal airway (OAW) dimensions and predispose patients to respiratory dysfunctions such as obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of functional treatment on anteroposterior and vertical dimensions of airway in skeletal class III patients with mandibular deficiency . Materials and Methods : This interventional study was done on lateral cephalogerams of 25 mandibular deficient patients with average 9.9 years of age who were treated with modified activator appliance. Digitized cephalograms were traced and analyzed by ViewBox version 3,1,1,3 cephalometric software. Paired t-test was performed to evaluate pre- and post-treatment data . Results: Skeletal sagittal discrepancy was improved with decreasing ANB angle from 6.68 º to 4.48º and increasing SNB angle from 74.48 º to 76.78 º (p |
