Objectives: Patients with mandibular insufficiency can be predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The objective of this study was to systematically review the international literature for mandibular advancement surgeries (MAS) as treatment for adult OSA, and then to perform a meta-analysis.
Methods: Four authors searched five databases from the inception of each database through April 5, 2017.
Objectives/hypothesis: To perform a systematic review with meta-analysis for sleep study outcomes in children who have undergone rapid maxillary expansion (RME) as treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Data Sources: PubMed/MEDLINE and eight additional databases.
Review Methods: Three authors independently and systematically reviewed the international literature through February 21, 2016.
Unlabelled: Objective. To evaluate the association between nasal obstruction and (1) demographic factors, (2) medical history, (3) physical tests, and (4) nasal exam findings. Study Design.

- The study reviewed international literature on maxillary and maxillomandibular expansion as treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults.
- Eight studies involving 39 patients showed significant improvements in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSAT) after maxillary expansion.
- While results were promising, especially for maxillomandibular expansion, the limited number of studies suggests further research is needed to confirm these findings.
Objective. To quantify the effectiveness of nasal expiratory positive airway pressure (nasal EPAP) devices or Provent as treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods.

Importance: Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) is an invasive yet effective surgical option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that achieves enlargement of the upper airway by physically expanding the facial skeletal framework.
Objective: To identify criteria associated with surgical outcomes of MMA using aggregated individual patient data from multiple studies.
Data Sources: The Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and MEDLINE from June 1, 2014, to March 16, 2015, using the Medical Subject Heading keywords maxillomandibular advancement, orthognathic surgery, maxillary osteotomy, mandibular advancement, sleep apnea, surgical, surgery, sleep apnea syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Objective: The objective of this study is to systematically review polysomnography data and sleepiness in morbidly obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥40 kg/m(2)) patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated with either a maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) or a tracheostomy and to evaluate the outcomes.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library.
Review Methods: A search was performed from inception through April 8, 2014, in each database.
Objective: To systematically review the literature for articles evaluating myofunctional therapy (MT) as treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children and adults and to perform a meta-analysis on the polysomnographic, snoring, and sleepiness data.
Data Sources: Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, and The Cochrane Library.
Review Methods: The searches were performed through June 18, 2014.
Objectives/hypothesis: To develop a validated inferior turbinate grading scale.
Study Design: Development and validation study.
Methods: Phase 1 development (alpha test) consisted of a proposal of 10 different inferior turbinate grading scales (>1,000 clinic patients).
