Subjective Efficiency Evaluation after Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients.

Purpose: To investigate subjective efficiency outcomes after maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.

Material And Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out between December 2016 and May 2021, including 30 severe or treatment-refractory OSA patients treated by MMA surgery. All patients answered four validated questionnaires: the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ), Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ), and EQ-5D-3L (i.

Donor site morbidity of anterior iliac crest and calvarium bone grafts: A comparative case-control study.

Purpose: Notwithstanding its donor site morbidity, autogenous bone graft harvesting is still considered the gold standard for cases of extreme resorption of the alveolar ridge. The aim of this study was to assess donor site morbidity of calvarium and anterior iliac crest harvesting.

Material And Methods: A total of 27 edentulous patients who had undergone calvarial bone harvesting were matched with 27 edentulous patients in which anterior iliac crest bone was harvested.
