| Research Abstract |
Pharyngeal airway volume was decreased significantly after mandibular set back surgery in patients with mandibular protrusion, but apnea-hypopnea index was not changed significantly after surgery. Oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is more effective in patients with large anteroposterior diameter of the maxilla and large lower facial height. These data linking maxillofacial morphology to respiratory function during sleep are useful to establish the application criteria of maxillomandibular advancement surgery in Japanese patients with sleep apnea syndrome.
