3D Computerised Analysis of Airway Morphology in Subjects From Tamil Nadu: A Pilot Study

The findings of this cross-sectional pilot study describe age-associated variations in CBCT-derived airway volume, airway length, smallest airway cross-sectional area, and airway index among participants from Tamil Nadu and highlight potential clinical relevance for orthodontic diagnosis and airway assessment, while acknowledging that causal inferences and definitive normative standards cannot be established.

Abstract

The findings of this cross-sectional pilot study describe age-associated variations in CBCT-derived airway volume, airway length, smallest airway cross-sectional area, and airway index among participants from Tamil Nadu and highlight potential clinical relevance for orthodontic diagnosis and airway assessment, while acknowledging that causal inferences and definitive normative standards cannot be established.
