<scp>CBCT</scp> Analysis of the Hyoid and Pharyngeal Airway Changes in Class <scp>III</scp> Patients With Orthognathic Surgery
Class III patients experienced airway constriction following orthognathic surgery, particularly those with a lower preoperative hyoid bone position, who showed a more significant decrease in hypopharyngeal airway volume postsurgery compared to those with a higher preoperative hyoid position. These findings underscored the importance of individualised surgical planning and highlighted the need for further research with dynamic assessments to optimise respiratory outcomes.
