Pressure and Cephalometric Technics for Evaluation of Normal and Cleft Palate Patients: II. Palatopharyngeal Competency
Lawrence F. Quigley, Jr.
Forsyth Dental Center, Boston, Massachusetts
Results from air pressure and cephalometric measurements for control and cleft palate patients have been compared and correlated to evaluate palatopharyngeal competency. Distances measured in a static condition correlated best with nasal air flow. Pressure data correlated least with cephalometric measurements, and their value as a measure of palatopharyngeal competency is doubtful.
