What is the influence of occlusal plane rotation in orthognathic surgery on upper airway volume?
Class II patients showed a significant increase in oropharyngeal volume (p = 0.026), while class III patients showed an increase in nasopharyngeal volume (p = 0.003), regardless of occlusal plane changes. Additionally, nasopharyngeal volume increased significantly in class III patients with clockwise (p = 0.035) and counterclockwise (p = 0.037) rotations.
