Objective To apply cone beam CT measurements(CBCT)to analyze the effect of skeletal Class Ⅲ high angle with deviation on upper airway morphology and hyoid position. Methods A total of 120 patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ high angle malocclusion who visited our hospital from September 2019 to December 2022 were selected. CBCT was taken in all subjects. According to the degree of mandibular deviation (MD) of the point under the chin from the median sagittal plane, the 120 patients were divided into three groups: non-migratory, mildly migratory, and severely migratory groups, and the volume of the upper airway as well as the position of the hyoid bone of three groups were measured and analyzed respectively. Results There was no significant difference in the volume and minimum cross-sectional area of the nasopharyngeal segment, palatopharyngeal segment, and minimum cross-sectional area of the laryngopharyngeal segment. No siginificant difference was found between the position of the hyoid bone(HB) on the Y-axis (Y-HB) and the position of the hyoid bone on the Z-axis(Z-HB) among the three groups(P>0.05). Compared with the other two groups, the volume and total volume of the nasopharyngeal segment, the laryngopharyngeal segment, and minimum cross-sectional area of the laryngopharyngeal segment in the group of severe deviation were significantly reduced(P
