Comparison of Simultaneous Airflow-Pressure Measurements and Cephalometric Technics for Evaluation of Normal and Cleft Palate Patients: III. Palatopharyngeal Competency
Cleft palate and normal palate siblings were studied for palatopharyngeal competency with cephalometric, manometric, and air flow technics. The nasal anemometer can serve as a practical instrument to measure palatopharyngeal competency in place of cephalometric radiographs.
