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 different to hypo divergent and norm divergent group (P < 0.05),
whereas for lower airway width of hyper divergent 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. [Seth P Natl J
