Abstract
Background:Aim:To evaluate the width of the pharyngeal airways and to ascertain any correlations in skeletal Class I and Class II malocclusion with different growth patterns. Materials and Methods:The sample size 90, divided into 6 groups based on class I and II skeletal relationship with Normal, Horizontal and Vertical growth patterns. Result:Tukey test revealed that the mean upper airway width of hyper divergent group was significantly differentto hypo divergent and norm divergent group (P < 0.05), whereas for lower airway width of hyperdivergent group was significantly lower as compared to hypo divergent group (P < 0.05). Conclusion:Upper airway is influenced by only growth pattern and not malocclusion type. Lower airway is not influenced by growth pattern or malocclusion type.
