Discussion

Pilot study compares nasal complex morphometrics in orthognathic and prognathic maxilla, indicating nasal airflow impacts skeletal development.

No significant differences in nasal bone length or lateral width between orthognathic and prognathic maxilla groups were found.
Concha bullosa and nasal septal deviation were observed significantly more in orthognathic maxilla subjects with p = 0.01.
Statistical analysis involved applying unpaired t-tests and Fisher’s exact test to measure group variances.
Results indicate ethnic variability in nasal bone measurements, suggesting airflow may influence maxillary morphology.

Madiyal et al. (2025) studied this question.
