NSD associated nasal turbinate hypertrophy is usually recurrent, requiring repetitive imaging. Therefore, a multiplanar imaging modality with a low radiation dose is best suited for long-term follow-up of this condition. This study aimed to evaluate the association of width of inferior turbinates and presence of concha bullosa with the degree of NSD using Cone beam computed tomography (CT).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The CBCT scans of 100 patients with NSD were selected as per convenience sampling and were evaluated by two maxillofacial radiologists. The width of the non-hypertrophied inferior turbinate (NHT) on the convex side of the NSD, and hypertrophic inferior turbinates (HT) on the concave side of the NSD were measured at three locations. The septal deviation angle (SDA) and the presence of concha bullosa (CB) were determined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A significant difference was observed in the anterior, middle, posterior, and mean widths between HT and NHT (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). There was a significant difference in the widths of the HT and NHT among different types of NSD. A strong positive correlation (r\u2009=\u20090.71,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) was found between SDA and the mean width of the HT. Age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.71) and gender (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.65) had no significant difference among different types of NSD. Regression analysis revealed that the presence of CB (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01) and middle width of the HT (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) are significant predictors of SDA and type of NSD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of the present study reveal that the middle width of the HT and the presence of CB influence the degree of NSD.
