| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the influence of the negative pressure of the airway on mandibular retraction during inspiration of children with nasal obstruction.
Sixty-two children were divided into Class I, II, and III groups. Airflow pressure was simulated using computational fluid dynamics to calculate nasal resistance and airway pressure during inspiration and expiration. Nasal resistance of the Class II group was significantly higher than that of the other two groups, and oropharyngeal airway inspiration pressure in the Class II (-247.64 Pa) group was larger than that in the Class I (-43.51 Pa) and Class III (-31.81 Pa) groups (P < 0.001). Airway inspiration-expiration pressure difference in the Class II (-27.38 Pa) group was larger than that in the Class I (-5.17 Pa) and Class III (0.68 Pa) groups (P = 0.006). Large negative inspiratory airway pressure due to nasal obstruction in children with Class II malocclusion may be related to their retrognathia.
