Purposes: This study aims to investigate the relationship between midfacial components such as the nasal bone, maxilla, and palatal bone, all of which had a similar growth period. Materials and Methods: For this retrospective study, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 106 patients who have not any missing teeth were included. Nasal measurements such as nasal septal deviation angle, deviated septal curved angle (DSCA), septal vertical length, deviated septal length and palatal measurements such as palatal interalveolar length (PIL), palatal arch depth (PID) and maxillopalatal arch angle (MPAA) were performed in the coronal CBCT images. The maxillary sinus volume (MSV) was calculated bilaterally by Simplant Pro 16 software. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics v22.0. Results: MSV was found to be higher in contralateral side of the nasal septum. A significant negative correlation was determined between MSVTotal value and age. There was no significant relationship between PIL, MPAA values, and gender factor. A negative, significant correlation was detected between the DSCA and PIL values. A positive significant difference was observed between MSVTotal and PAD values. There was a positive, significant correlation between MSVTotal and PAD/PIL ratio. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that the components forming the midface are interrelated, and understanding these relationships can provide clinicians with important benefits such as anatomical guidance, as well as functional and aesthetic planning prior to treatment.
