In obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), treatment with mandibular advancement devices (MADs) reduces patients' Apnoea-Hypopnoea index (AHI) scores and improves their sleepiness and quality of life. MADs ar...
This was a retrospective cohort study. The study included 103 patients diagnosed of OSA who met the criteria for initiation of treatment with MAD. Structural variables were collected (cephalometric an...
A total of 103 patients who were consecutively referred for treatment with MAD were included (89.3% men); the mean age of the participants was 46.3 years, and the mean AHI before MAD was 31.4 (SD 16.2...
The presence of a mandibular torus practically triples the probability of MAD success. This is the simplest examination with the greatest benefits in terms of the efficacy of MAD treatment for OSA....
The Advanced Mandibular Spring (AMS) was newly developed as a dentofacial orthopedic appliance in conjunctive use of clear aligners to treat Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrognathia in adole...
A three-dimensional finite element model was constructed using images of CBCT and spiral CT. The model consisted of craniomaxillofacial bones, articular discs, retrodiscal elastic stratum, masticatory...
The stress generated by AMS was distributed to all teeth and periodontal ligament, pushing mandibular teeth forward and maxillary teeth backward. In the temporomandibular joint area, the pressure in t...
AMS created a favorable biomechanical environment for treating mandibular retrognathia in adolescents....
The purpose of this study was to evaluate mandibular advancement for cases of mandibular deficiency with changes in vocal cord grade and intubation difficulty at subsequent surgery requiring intubatio...
This retrospective case series included patients with a diagnosis of mandibular deficiency (Class II skeletal dentofacial deformity) who underwent mandibular advancement surgery (T1) followed by a sub...
Eight patients were included in the study. At T1, the average laryngeal grade was 1.6. There was 1 difficult intubation. The average time to T2 was 9 months. At T2, all patients were intubated on thei...
This preliminary investigation found an association between mandibular advancement for cases of mandibular and improved laryngeal grade at subsequent intubation without any difficult intubations....
This study aimed to evaluate changes in computed tomography (CT) value of ramus bone after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in class II and class III patients using absorbable plates and screws....
In the retrospective study, the participants were female patients with jaw deformities who underwent bilateral SSRO with Le Fort I osteotomy. Maximum CT values (pixel values) of lateral and medial cor...
Fifty-seven patients and 114 sides (28 class II: 56 sides and 29 class III: 58 sides) were evaluated. Although CT values decreased at most sites of the ramus cortical bone after 1 year of surgery, the...
This study suggested that bone quality at the mandibular ramus could change after 1 year of surgery, and there could be differences between mandibular advancement and setback surgery....
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common medical disorder and the most impacting sleep disturbance. OSA derive from the narrowing of the upper airway during sleep, which result in recurrent episodes ...
Since obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management with a mandibular advancement device (MAD) is likely to be life-long, potential changes in mandibular movements during therapy should be investigated. Th...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mandibular advancement devices (MADs). For various reasons, both treatment options are often affe...
A systematic literature search was conducted using bibliographic databases PubMed, Embase.com , Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library (Wiley) to identify relevant studies that described factors ass...
The literature search yielded a total of 694 references. Forty studies were found eligible for inclusion. The literature showed that factors with a possible negative influence on the adherence to MAD ...
The knowledge of factors associated with MAD adherence can be used to provide further insight into individual adherence to OSA treatments....
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of mandibular advancement (MA), bichectomy, jawline, and their combination on facial attractiveness. The 3-dimensional (3D) visual sculpting is a m...
FaceBuilder software, a Blender 2.93 LTS add-on, was used to generate a 3D head and face model of a female patient with Class II Division I malocclusion. MA, bichectomy, jawline, and combination modif...
MA modification received the highest frontal and lateral image scores. The raters found the jawline frontal photograph to be the least attractive. Significant differences were observed between the lat...
Facial esthetic modifications receive different attractiveness scores in lateral or frontal evaluations. MA outperforms bichectomy and jawline augmentation in terms of improving facial attractiveness....
Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) keep the upper airways patent by holding the mandible and attached soft tissues forward via altered position of its condyles relative to the articulating surfaces...
Segmental mandibular advancement (SMA) consists of a combination of bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, anterior subapical osteotomy with extraction of the first premolars, and genioplasty, to allow a...
