Reliability of Lateral Cephalometric Radiographs in the Assessment of the Upper Airway in Children: <i>A Retrospective study</i>

Abstract

The measurement of upper airway morphology, defined as the intramural space, and of the hyoid bone position were highly reliable on LCRs of children. However, the limited reliability in the assessment of tongue and soft palate area may compromise the diagnostic application of LCRs to these structures.
