AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of eight surgical treatments involving maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) for adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
  • After analyzing data from eight studies with 227 patients, the combination of MMA and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with uvula preservation (MMA + HUPPP) was found to be the most effective treatment.
  • Other promising options included MMA combined with counterclockwise maxillomandibular advancement (CMMA) and transoral robotic surgery (MMA + TORS).

Article Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of eight different surgical treatments based on maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), which has emerged in recent years, for adult obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients.

Methods: The literature was searched from January 2010 to May 2020 for studies of adult OSA patients with different types of MMA procedures to perform a network meta-analysis. The outcomes were changes in the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI), the lowest pulse oxygen saturation (SpO min) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Treatment hierarchy was summarized according to the rank charts.

Results: Eight studies were included and encompassed a total of 227 adult patients diagnosed with OSA. Among them, 225 patients underwent combined surgery or simple MMA surgery, including modified maxillomandibular advancement (MMMA),counterclockwise maxillomandibular advancement (CMMA), drug-induced sleep endoscopy and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA + DISE), transoral robotic surgery and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA + TORS), uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), maxillomandibular advancement and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (MMA + UPPP), uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with uvula preservation and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA + HUPPP); MMA consisting of Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral inverted-L osteotomy (ILOs), genioplasty and iliac bone grafting; and MMA consisting of Le Fort I osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies and genioplasty. The results showed that the most effective surgical treatment is MMA + HUPPP [- 56.79 (WMD); 95% confidence interval (CI): - 113.02 to - 3.33] (P < 0.00001), which was far superior to other approaches.

Conclusion: MMA combined with HUPPP had the highest efficacy. The MMA consisted of Le Fort I osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies and genioplasty; CMMA and MMA + TORS are likely also great choices.

The aim of this paper was to systematically review and compare the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI), Lowest O Saturation (LSAT), Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), Epworth Sleep Scale (ESS), and Body Mass Index (BMI) between dentofacial (skeletal) classes I, II, and III before and after maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). The PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL databases were searched from inception to 23 November 2022. Two reviewers screened for articles that reported occlusion/malocclusion class type as I, II, or III, and reported preoperative and postoperative AHI, LSAT, ODI, ESS, and/or BMI.

Orthognathic surgery, a pivotal treatment for patients with significant facial aesthetic and occlusal concerns, traditionally involves a phased approach comprising preoperative orthodontics, surgery, and postoperative orthodontic treatment. However, the extended duration of conventional methods often leads to patient dissatisfaction. In response, the surgery-first approach (SFA) has emerged as an alternative, aiming to streamline treatment and reduce complexity.
