Correlations were calculated between nasopharyngeal area, oropharyngeal area, and craniocervical posture. Continuous variables were compared by one-way analysis of variance, and the significance of mean difference between the groups was done by the Tukey post hoc test. A value of\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .05 was considered statistically significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:\u2002<\/jats:title>\n \n Patients in the hyperdivergent group were found to have significantly smaller nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal areas than the other groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .001 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .05, respectively). Similarly, the oropharyngeal area in the normodivergent group was significantly smaller than that in the hypodivergent group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .05). However, no significant differences were found in the nasopharyngeal area between the hypodivergent and normodivergent groups and between the hyperdivergent and normodivergent groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > .05). Reduced pharyngeal airways were typically seen in patients with a large craniocervical angle and a large mandibular inclination.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:title>\n Smaller nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal airways were seen in connection with a large craniocervical and a large mandibular inclination. We therefore suggest that the vertical skeletal pattern may be one of the factors that contribute to nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal obstruction.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2319\/042314-299.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,23]],"date-time":"2014-09-23T08:28:49Z","timestamp":1411460929000},"page":"604-610","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Soft tissue airway dimensions and craniocervical posture in subjects with different growth patterns"],"prefix":"10.2319","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Juhi","family":"Ansar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Senior lecturer, Department of Orthodontics, Institute of Dental sciences, Bareilly, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandhya","family":"Maheshwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Chairman, Department of Orthodontics and Dental Anatomy, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjeev K.","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Orthodontics and Dental Anatomy, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raj Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Senior Lecturer, Department of Orthodontics, Sudha Rastogi Dental College, Faridabad, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepak K.","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Chairman, Department of Orthodontics, Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Preeti","family":"Bhattacharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1164","reference":[{"key":"r1","series-title":"Semin Orthod","first-page":"39","article-title":"Allergy, nasal obstruction, and occlusion","volume":"10","author":"Lampasso, Judith D,","year":"2004","unstructured":"Lampasso, Judith D, \n \n Lampasso, James G. \n \n Allergy, nasal obstruction, and occlusion.
