RESUMO
A redução do espaço aéreo nasofaríngeo pode estar associada a vários fatores, em especial à hipertrofia das tonsilas. Estudos mais recentes, entretanto, apontam que este estreitamento também pode ser decorrente de más oclusões esqueléticas, em especial da Classe II. Objetivou-se com esta revisão de literatura estudar a influência desta displasia e o tratamento da mesma com aparelho extraoral, no tamanho do espaço aéreo nasofaríngeo.
ABSTRACT
Nasopharyngeal airway space reduction can be associated to various factors, especially to hypertrophic tonsils. Most recent studies, however, demonstrate that this constriction can also be related to skeletal malocclusions, most specifically, the Class II malocclusion. The purpose of this literature review was to report the influence of this skeletal dysplasia, and its treatment with headgear appliances, on the size of the nasopahryngeal airway.
