The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess whether the dimensions of the frontal air sinus correlate with skeletal malocclusion.
PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant studies published up to May 23, 2023. The review included observational and retrospective studies that compared the dimensions of the frontal air sinus between different skeletal malocclusions. The PECOS method was used in this study ("Population, Exposure, Comparator, Outcome, and Study design"). The search was done using the following English keywords: "frontal sinus" OR "lateral cephalometric" OR "malocclusion" AND "surface area".
Seven studies were included, which involved 1101 participants, of whom 403 were class I, 375 were class II, and 323 were class III. These studies had a moderate risk of bias. The surface area of the frontal sinus in class III was significantly larger than in class I (standardized difference in means (SDM) = -0.971; 95 % CI = -1.147- -0.796; P < 0.001) and in class II (SDM = -1.535; 95 % CI = -1.732- -1.337; P < 0.001).
Class III malocclusion is associated with a larger surface area of the frontal sinus compared to classes I and II.
本系统评价和荟萃分析的目的是评估额窦的尺寸是否与骨骼错牙合相关。
检索了PubMed、Scopus、Embase和谷歌学术,以查找截至2023年5月23日发表的相关研究。该评价纳入了比较不同骨骼错牙合之间额窦尺寸的观察性和回顾性研究。本研究采用了PECOS方法(“人群、暴露、对照、结局和研究设计”)。检索使用了以下英文关键词:“额窦”或“侧位头影测量”或“错牙合”以及“表面积”。
纳入了7项研究,涉及1101名参与者,其中403名是I类,375名是II类,323名是III类。这些研究存在中度偏倚风险。III类错牙合患者的额窦表面积显著大于I类(平均标准化差异(SDM)=-0.971;95%可信区间=-1.147--0.796;P<0.001)和II类(SDM=-1.535;95%可信区间=-1.732--1.337;P<0.001)。
与I类和II类错牙合相比,III类错牙合与更大的额窦表面积相关。
