Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of nasal septum deviation on the pharyngeal airway and cervico-craniofacial measurements on cephalometrics. Methods: The present study examines the skeletal and functional relationship of airway and septum deviation on the panoramic and cephalometric images of 50 patients with indication of orthodontic treatment, who were refeered to XXXXX University Faculty of Dentistry Departments of Pedodontics and Orthodontic for various reasons. Material of the study consists of 50 patients, including 25 patients (11 females and 9 males) with nasal septum deviation and 25 (12 females and 8 males) control group individuals without nasal septum deviation (23 females and 17 males; mean age: 10.1 ± 0.7 years). Results: The obtained data were evaluated using SPSS (21.0) package program. Regarding the data analysis, Mann-Whitney U Test Statistics was used for the analysis of two-variable data. (P>0.05). The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p<0.05) in the group with nasal septum deviation with regard to nasopharynx (af-pf1), vertical airway length (Eb-pm), and cervical colon curvature (OPT/CVT). Conclusion: Orthodontic patients detected with a nasal septum deviation of 4 mm and more on their panoramic radiographs are susceptible of various pharyngeal airway and cranio-cervical postural changes.

Introduction: The Haller Cells are described as aerated ethmoidal cells, located in the inferior margin of the orbit, near the ostia of the maxillary sinuses. The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is widely used in dentistry, allowing acquisition of images of the craniofacial region. Objective: to identify in CBCT exams the Haller´s cell relationship with the following conditions: sinus disease, bony nasal septum deviation, endodontic treatment and periapical lesions. Materials and methods: 99 CBCT exams were used, from which 51 were included in the research criteria. The images were analyzed in the Xelis Dental® software to identify the presence or absence of the Haller Cell, as well as the relationship with the mentioned conditions. Results: Among the 51 CFCT exams evaluated, 35.3% presented Haller´s Cell on the right side and 23.5% on the left side. Whereas the relationship of the Haller Cells with one or more alterations mentioned here, on the right side we had it in 72% of the cases, while on the left side such relationship was present in 75% of the cases. Conclusion: CBCT exams that present the infraorbital margin allow to verify the presence or absence of the Haller Cell. In this sample, we verified a greater presence of endodontic cases, bony nasal septum deviation and sinus disease cases in individuals who presented Haller Cells.

AbstractObjective:To compare mucosal and bony measurements in patients with congenital and traumatic nasal septum deviation and compensatory inferior turbinate hypertrophy.Methods:The study examined 50 patients with nasal septum deviation (25 congenital and 25 traumatic) and compensatory inferior turbinate hypertrophy in the contralateral nasal cavity, confirmed by computed tomography.Results:The study compared inferior turbinate measurements on the concave and convex sides of the septum, in the congenital and traumatic groups. Measurements comprised: the shortest distance from the median line to the medial border of the conchal bone; the distances from the most medial part of the conchal mucosa and the conchal bone to the lateral line; the projection angle of the inferior turbinate; and the widest parts of the whole inferior turbinate and the inferior turbinate conchal bone. The differences between the concave and convex side measurements were compared in the congenital group versus the traumatic group; for three measurements, the difference between these two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05).Conclusion:The present study findings suggest that the conchal bone has a marked influence on nasal patency in patients with congenital septal deviation. These findings supported the decision to excise the inferior turbinate bone at the time of septoplasty, especially when treating congenital septal deviation.
