Evaluation Of The Relationship Between The Upper Airway Morphology And Facial Growth Type In Adults of The Syrian Coast Using Three Dimentional Computed Tomography


Abstract in English

This study aimed to investigate the relationship of the size and areas of the upper airway with the Facial growth type in adults ,and to investigate the differences in upper airway measurements between males and females using sagittal and axial slices of three dimensional computed tomography.
