Reliability of upper pharyngeal airway assessment using dental CBCT: a systematic review

ConclusionsThe current literature reports moderate to excellent reliability, with airway volume having higher reliability than minimum cross-sectional area. However, only limited aspects of the process of airway analysis have been evaluated, indicating that further research is required to adequately establish the reliability of upper pharyngeal airway assessment of patients using dental CBCT.RegistrationNone
