SS31 - Predicting Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery Success for OSA (CANCELED)

Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) is the most successful surgical treatment option for OSA. Traditionally, it has been suggested 8-10 mm MMA is needed for treatment success. However, there is a need for patient-specific and individualized treatment plan in order to improve treatment acceptance and outcome. This approach may help reduce the amount of advancement (less than 8 mm) required in some patients while determining larger than 10 mm advancements for others. The author will review the use of a remote-controlled mandibular advancement home sleep study with Matrix Plus in predicting the degree of mandibular advancement required to alleviate obstructive and hypopneic episodes and how this information can be applied to predict the degree of advancement needed in the MMA surgery. The results may give OMSs better insight and direction in planning the proper magnitude of MMA movement, thereby increasing the success rate and potentially minimizing postoperative morbidity.
