• Maxillary, mandibular, and hyoid advancement for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea: a review of 40 patients.

  Riley RW, Powell NB, Guilleminault C. J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1990; 48 (1): 20-6

  Forty patients with documented obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were evaluated following maxillary and mandibular osteotomies (MMO). All patients were evaluated before and after surgery by a physical examination, fiberoptic pharyngoscopy, cephalometric analysis, and polysomnography. Ninety-seven percent of the patients responded to the surgical treatment, based on the polysomnogram. The present indications for MMO are severe OSAS, morbid obesity, and severe mandibular deficiency.
