Abstract

Aims: Analyze upper airway volume in healthy adult patients from CBCT examinations, comparing skeletal facial patterns I, II and III, considering age and gender.. Methods: A retrospective study of a radiological clinic database analysis, with a sample of 129 full-face DICOM exams, dated between 2015 and 2018. After dividing the sample into three groups, according to skeletal pattern, volumetric measurements were obtained through the application ITK-SNAP version 3.6.0, a free 3D anatomical segmentation processo. Results: The sample was separated into pattern I with 60 exams, pattern II with 48 and pattern III with 21 exams. Females were the most frequent with 69.8% (n = 90) and the mean age was defined as 35 years. The overall mean volume was 22,774.2 mm³ and the mean between skeletal patterns showed no significant difference (p = 0,251), according to the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0,05). In the analysis of sexual dimorphism, men presented higher volume, with statistical difference (p = 0,033) through the Mann-Whitney test. Conclusion: The mean upper airway volume among healthy individuals with facial patterns I, II and III showed no significant difference, only a slight variation, pattern III being 14.8% higher than pattern I. The male gender stood out with greater volume and the age variation had no correlation with the pharyngeal space volume.
