Changes in Upper Airway Airflow After Rapid Maxillary Expansion Beyond the Peak Period of Adenoidal Growth—A CBCT Study Using Computer Fluid Dynamics and Considering Adenoidal Dimensions as a Factor

Changes in Upper Airway Airflow After Rapid Maxillary Expansion Beyond the Peak Period of Adenoidal Growth—A CBCT Study Using Computer Fluid Dynamics and Considering Adenoidal Dimensions as a Factor

Background/Objectives: This retrospective study used computer fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the medium-term changes in the upper airways (UA) airflow after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in three age-matched groups with different degrees of adenoidal obstruction. Methods: The sample included Con...
