Assessment of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures in skeletal Class II patients with different growth patterns

CONCLUSIONS: Although Class I patients displayed significantly greater oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airway volumes, there was no significant difference in respiratory muscle strength or airway function between Class II patients with different growth patterns and the Class I control group. The findings underscore the significance of exploring factors beyond craniofacial growth patterns that may contribute to sleep-related breathing disorders.PMID:38639454 | DOI:10.2319/071723-496.1
