Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
transverse and vertical dimensions of the palate of children
with allergic rhinitis (AR). There was no significant
difference for intermolar and intercanine distances
between two groups in primary and mixed dentitions.
Palate depth in children with allergic rhinitis was
statistically more than in children without any respiratory
disease. Cross bite was more prevalent in study group. It
seems that the main influence of alteration of breathing
pattern from nasal to mouth occurs on the vertical plane.
