The role of maxillar morphology in the development of pathological septal deformities.

Abstract

As a rule some kinds of nasal septum deformities are more frequently found in subjects whose maxilla has more or less stressed morphological irregularities than in those with a normally shaped maxilla. The subjects with asymmetry between the nasal floor levels (the right and left side) show heavier septal damages than others. It means that a regularly shaped maxilla as well as a symmetric nasal floor serve like a fuse against the more severe deformations after nasal trauma. In this paper we have made a classification of the septal pathological deformities.
