nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx, which is the smallest portion in the anteroposterior direction and lateral pharyngeal dimension in patients with OSA syn­drome (OSAS). Furthermore, it is relatively straightfor­ward to evaluate changes before treatment, providing a baseline from which the patient’s response to treatment may be gauged over time by superimposition of subse­quent follow-up images [32].
21.2 Visualization oftheAirway Space
forVolumetric Analysis
To evaluate the upper airway space, CBCT images were reconstructed using InVivo5 (Anatomage, San Jose, CA, USA) in the form of DICOM les. After creating the 3D image of the entire raw dataset, Invivo5 facilitates an assessment of the specic airway region of interest with tools to separate and delete opaque areas correspond­ing to skin and bone (using the “Remove” function of the volume render of the segmentation tool). The upper border may be set as the plane across the superior part of the atlas; the lower border may be set as the plane crossing the lowermost point of the fourth cervical ver­tebra. Anteroposterior walls may be dened as the ana­tomical border of the pharynx. After adjusting opacity threshold to 750 with the ne tuning bar, the nal 3D image of each pharyngeal cavity was constructed using the volume rendering function [31] (.
The 3D reconstructed image allows a detailed com­parative evaluation of the pattern of the airway space. For example, the airway space of non-OSAS group has a more rounded or rectangular shape, while that of the

patients with OSAS has a more elliptical or concave shape [33]. Class III skeletal relationships are character­ized by a wider and atter anteroposterior direction [31], and, with advancing age, the airway space widens later­ally to become more elliptical [34]. Airow resistance is directly related to both the size and shape of the airway. While the airway space may be large in some cases, its winding path may detrimentally impact airow with signicant resistance, ultimately impacting respiratory function. Reconstructed 3D images may be exported as an STL le and used to analyze the airway airow using the nite-element study.
21.3 Airway Space Change andStability
Related toOrthognathic Surgery
21.3.1 Mandibular Setback andBimaxillary
Surgery
Skeletal Class III malocclusion may be accompanied by the combination of a prominent mandible and retracted maxilla or mandibular prognathism alone [19, 26, 35,
36]. To improve the skeletal discrepancy, orthognathic
surgery (mandibular setback or MMA) is recommended to improve masticatory function and aesthetics [17]. In orthognathic surgeries involving mandibular setback, both preoperative and postoperative evaluation of the airway space may be performed by CBCT. The advan­tage of CBCT is that the airway space may be recon­structed in 3D to provide a detailed visualization for analysis (. Figs.21.6 and 21.7).

Several studies report the correlation between the change in airway space and orthognathic surgery [22,
23, 27, 28, 3748]. Mandibular setback surgery for
a skeletal class III malocclusion may cause stenosis of the upper airway space immediately after surgery because it repositions the tongue posteriorly as the mandible moves backward (. Fig.21.6). Some cases have reported the occurrence of OSA due to a reduc­tion in volume of the retrolingual and hypopharyn­geal airway after mandibular setback and change in
position of the hyoid bone [17]. When the mandible is retracted, the hyoid bone is repositioned downward, and a posterior displacement of the tongue and soft palate occurs. This movement eventually results in the narrowing of the upper airway space in the anteropos­terior and lateral directions [49]. In addition, relative mean negative pressure decreases, as does pharyngeal airway volume.
In contrast, Wenzel et al. [48] found decreased
nasopharyngeal volume following mandibular setback,

. Fig. 21.6 Mandibular setback in this case led to a reduction in total volume of 4.9cc and a reduction in minimum area of 81.2mm
which remained reduced over a long period of time. If maxillary advancement is performed with mandibular setback, the narrowing of the airway can decrease. In 2008, Degerliyurtet al [37]. showed the comparative air­way changes between bimaxillary surgery and mandibu­lar setback and suggested that bimaxillary surgery could prevent airway stenosis. To some extent, the increased volume of the airway at the nasopharyngeal level in bimaxillary surgery compensates for the effect at the hypopharyngeal level [41]. These reports suggest more effort is needed to maintain a constant pharyngeal air­ow during the mandibular setback surgery [29]. Clearly,
3D imaging can adequately support airway assessments for this purpose.
Depending on the type of orthognathic surgery involving mandibular setback, there are conicting reports on the degree of reduction and duration of reten­tion in each region of the upper airway space. According to Park etal. [19], Tselnik and Pogrel [27], Hochban [25], Wenzel etal. [48], Holmberg etal. [39], Chung and Lee etal. [50], and Lee et al. [29], there was no signicant decrease in the nasopharyngeal space; however, the width of oropharynx and hypopharynx decreased. In these studies, mandibular setback caused repositioning

. Fig. 21.7 Surgery involving both the maxilla and the mandible led to a 12-cc reduction in total volume and, a 128.2-mm reduction in
minimum area
of the tongue in the posteroinferior direction at the skel­etal position so that changes of the airway width were greater in the oropharynx and hypopharynx than in the nasopharynx.
In contrast to the previous studies that showed that the nasopharyngeal space remained almost unchanged during the mandibular setback, Kim et al. [16] and Wenzel etal. [48] reported a signicant decrease in the nasopharynx after mandibular setback that remains reduced over time. In the study by Kim etal. [16], a
reduction in the nasopharyngeal space was observed, but this reduction was smaller than that of the oro­pharynx and hypopharynx. There are conicting results regarding nasopharyngeal space reduction. When the decrease in the three parts of the pharyngeal space were compared, reduction in the oropharynx was found to be most severe, followed by the hypopharynx and naso­pharynx. Since the oropharynx is the closest to the pos­terior of the mandible and tongue, it is presumed to be the most affected by surgical mandibular movement.

Similar results were obtained in a comparison between mandibular setback only and bimaxillary surgery with maxillary forward movement. Samman etal. [26] reported a decrease in the oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal space and Cakarne et al. [35] found an increase in nasopharyngeal space. Chen et al. [36] reported changes in the upper airway space in both short- and long-term follow-ups post-mandibular set­back and bimaxillary surgery. The mandibular setback group showed a signicant decrease in the widths of the nasopharynx and hypopharynx in both short- and long­term follow-ups. After bimaxillary surgery, width of the nasopharynx increased, and oropharynx and hypo­pharynx widths decreased during short-term follow-up only. However, long-term follow-up showed no signi­cant spatial changes in the structures. In most cases, maxillary advancement was performed simultaneously with bimaxillary surgery, resulting in a decrease in the amount of mandibular setback. Therefore, the dura­tion of the decrease in the airway is not signicant when compared to that of mandibular setback only.
It has been reported that the airway changes after orthognathic surgery are sustained for long periods of time and that a reduction in airway volume also per­sists. In addition, some research shows that the airway changes occur temporarily during tissue re-adaptation. Enacar etal. [24] reported postoperative changes in the oropharyngeal space, reporting that the reduced area of the oropharyngeal airway persisted for more than 18months. Studies by Kim etal. [16], Tselnik etal. [27], and Hochban etal. [25] reported postoperative oropha­ryngeal width decreased and adapted to the reduced dimensions during the follow-up period. Signicant

reductions in the hypopharyngeal space after surgery suggest a functional readjustment of the hyoid bone, tongue muscle, and neck muscle, leading to changes in the airway space [51] (.
Few studies report the application of 3D upper airway images, and even fewer report the relationship between changes of the upper airway and post-surgical stability. A study conducted by Park etal. [19] at Pusan National University Dental Hospital (PNUDH) employed 3D CBCT to evaluate how the upper airway changed after orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal Class III deformities and to analyze the relationship between the changes in the upper airway and post- surgical stability. A total of 36 adult subjects were included (23 men, 13 women; mean age 22.97± 3.01 years; range 19 to 29) who had been diagnosed with class III skeletal deformi­ties and underwent surgical orthodontic treatment. As an alternative approach to the analysis of the anatomi­cal characteristics of the upper airway, the anteroposte­rior length (APL), largest transverse width (LTW), and cross-sectional area (CSA) in ve planes and in four vol­umes were calculated for all subjects (.
Patients were divided into groups by type of orthog­nathic surgery performed: group A (n=20) underwent mandibular setback sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO with rigid xation), and group B (n=16) under­went a LeFort I osteotomy with advancement and man­dibular setback SSRO.A 3D CBCT examination was performed at three stages: T0 (before surgery), T1 (an average of 4.6months after surgery), and T2 (an aver­age of 1.4years after surgery). While airway decreases were observed in both groups, the oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal airways in group A showed signi-

cantly decreased volumes 4.6 months post-procedure (P<0.05) and these diminished airways had not recov­ered 1.4 years post-surgery. Group B demonstrated post- surgical stability based on the APL of the hypopha­ryngeal. Group A, however, showed maxillary relapse based on the cross-sectional area of the nasopharynx correlated (P<0.05).
Several studies have insisted that with bimaxillary surgery (compared with mandibular setback surgery), the reduction effect of the mandibular setback is mod­erate [26, 36, 37, 52]. Results reported by Park et al. are consistent with those ndings; however, in patients who had excessive mandibular setback or who already showed signs of sleep apnea (such as obesity, excessive daytime sleepiness, and excessive snoring), other OSA interventions should be considered before orthognathic surgery is pursued [53]. Furthermore, a reduction in oro­pharyngeal and hypopharyngeal volume was observed
4.6 months after mandibular setback. This decreased volume did not recover until 1.4years after surgery. The bimaxillary surgery group showed decreased volume of the oropharyngeal airway [19]. Long-term, 12-year follow- up showed a reduction in the hypopharyngeal airway, but the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal air­ways continued to decrease for 12years [17].
In conclusion, mandibular setback movement reduces a part of the upper airway space in the short and long term [18]. A study by Kim etal. [16] that evaluated the amount of mandibular setback reported no signi­cant changes in the upper airway space when the amount
of retraction was less than 11mm–12mm; however, a signicant change was observed when the amount of retraction was 12mm or more. Thus, the amount of the mandibular setback is the factor that affects the degree of the change in the upper airway space. To clarify the regional airway changes and duration and the relation­ship between the amount of mandibular setback and change in the upper airway space, additional studies should be performed.
21.3.2 Vertical Movement ofthe
Maxillomandibular Complex
Orthognathic surgery involving maxillary vertical correc­tion is required in dolichocephalic patients with a skeletal class III malocclusion, represented by long face syndrome and a gummy smile. This skeletal discrepancy can be resolved through vertical repositioning of the maxilla and rotation and setback of the mandible, which is usually accompanied by occlusal plane rotation (. Fig.21.10).
Although surgery that involves occlusal plane rotation and vertical movement of the maxilla to relieve gummy smile is commonly performed, most studies on upper airway space change following orthognathic surgery are either on procedures performed only on the mandible or focused on the horizontal change in the maxilla. However, a 2008 study by Kim etal. [54] set out to observe changes in the vertical movement of the maxilla in 24 patients (9 men, 15 women) with a mean age of approximately

22years who underwent preoperative orthodontic treat­ment and surgery involving vertical movement of the maxilla with a Le Fort I osteotomy and mandibular setback. Cephalometric radiographs were taken preop­eratively (T0), postoperatively (T1, just or within 2weeks after surgery), and at 6-month follow- up (T2). The radio­graphs were compared using a paired t-test to show dif­ferences in the change in upper airway width based on the vertical movement of the maxilla (. Fig.21.11).
The PAS(R) (starting point of the nasopharynx) observed to be decreased after surgery (T1) (P<0.01), however, showed an increase at 6-month follow-up (T2).
Swelling of the soft tissue from intubation during gen­eral anesthesia may cause the airway space to decrease in the short term, but soft tissues are known to quickly adapt and contract. The PAS region formed by the pala­tal plane (NL) showed a signicant increase at T1 and T2 due to the vertical movement of the maxilla and the anterior movement component; however, longer term observation is necessary. PAS formed by the occlusal plane (OL) increased at T1 and T2, which may be attrib­utable to the change of the location of the tongue and the soft palate. At T1, the soft palate increased in thick­ness, but at T2 was observed to be similar to the initial

thickness or decreased. The angle between the FH plane and the soft palate increased at T2 and appeared to be affected more by the anteroposterior movement of the maxilla rather than the vertical movement. This change likely results from a change in the maxillary anteropos­terior position and the biological response to maintain the airway space rather than the muscular relaxation and constriction due to the maxillary vertical position change.
Regression analysis revealed the change in the width of the upper airway was not signicantly related to max­illary vertical movement. Mean superior movement of the maxilla for bimaxillary surgery was observed to be
4.40±1.14mm, resulting in a non-signicant change to the upper airway space. Therefore, biological adaptation can take place naturally [54].
However, there are factors that limit maxillary movement, which include the presence of anatomi­cal structures, such as the nasal septum, and nasal

breathing habits [55]. Vertical-only movement of the maxilla is rare in bimaxillary surgery; vertical move­ment coupled with advancement is more common. In this study, about 50% of the vertical maxillary move­ment was also involved in maxillary advancement [54]. More studies are needed to examine the changes resulting from the maxillary superior posterior rota­tion or the maxillary superior movement. In addition, further studies using 3D CT need to be done to under­stand the biological and functional aspects of the 3D changes.
21.3.3 Maxillomandibular Setback

tive treatment option. In addition, aesthetic results can be achieved by performing a clockwise rotation of the maxilla in patients with a recessed midface, at occlu­sal plane, and prominent chin with an acute nasolabial angle [29]. Total maxillary setback surgery with or with­out clockwise rotation is often needed for the correction of a class III malocclusion in Asians.
When maxillomandibular rotation is required and both maxilla and mandible retraction are performed, narrowing of airway and a decrease in airway volume may occur. These types of maxillary movements can cause a concomitant decrease in the airway volume. The posterior movement of the maxilla can reduce the airway volume—it not only adversely affects the naso­pharyngeal airway, but also increases the amount of posterior movement of the mandible.
Studies on the changes of the upper airway space after two-jaw surgeries that involve the posterior impac­tion or setback of the maxilla are rare [56]. A 2013 study by Lee etal. [29] used CBCT to observe changes in upper airway space volume in patients with class III skeletal deformities. Patients in group A (n=24) under-

3
) at each time point on the X-axis (Baseline, T1)
In group B, the upper airway volumes were nar­rowed by the maxillary and mandibular setback move­ment (APL on the CV1, CV2, CV3, and CV4 planes, the LTW on the PNS-Vp, CV1, and CV3 planes, and the CSA on the PNS-Vp, CV1, CV2, CV3, and CV4 planes decreased after the surgery (P<0.05)). Maxillary move­ment is known to decrease airway volume by its del­eterious effect on the nasopharyngeal airway and can also increase the extent of movement from the man­dibular setback. Upper airway volumes (including the nasopharyngeal airway) were signicantly decreased in group B in comparison to those in group A (P<0.01). Additionally, APL, LTW, and CSA on the PNS-Vp plane were signicantly different (P<0.05) [29]. While movement from maxillary setback was shown to increase the extent of the movement from a mandibular setback, no patients developed OSA postoperatively. Special consideration and caution should be exercised when performing bimaxillary surgery on patients who also have a large anteroposterior discrepancy, particu­larly in skeletal class III patients with a maxillary pro­trusion [29] (. Fig.21.13).

21.3.4 Maxillomandibular Advancement
(MMA)
Mandibular setback movement appeared to signi­cantly change the volumes of the oropharynx and hypo­pharynx, as well as a reduced volume of the APL, LTW, and CSA on the CV1, CV2, and CV3 planes, respectively (P<0.05). Signicant reductions were also observed in the APL and CSA volume on the CV
plane (P<0.05).

Furthermore, group A’s oropharyngeal region was observed to be signicantly decreased vs. group B’s (P<0.05). These data appear consistent with those from other studies [13, 22, 27].
Class II deformities with a mandibular deciency may be treated with growth control or compromised treatment if they are mild, but severe cases require orthognathic surgery. In such cases, the type of surgery performed is mainly mandibular advancement rather than maxillary setback. Patients with mandibular retrognathism that require orthognathic surgery often already have snoring problems or OSA.In the 1970s, it was surmised that sur­gical protraction of the mandible would improve OSA

In 1983, Powell et al. [57] reported the rst case of mandibular advancement for the treatment of OSA, which was achieved by LeFort I and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies. Mandibular advancement causes the hyoid bone and tongue muscle to move forward because the hyoid bone is attached by geniohyoid, suprahyoid, anterior digastric, and mylohyoid muscles. The soft pal-
ate, tongue, and anterior pharyngeal tissues follow the movement of the chin. MMA causes an increase in the volume of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypophar­ynx, resulting in an increase in the PAS [17]. In addition, the minimum and mean cross-sectional areas of the nasopharynx and the mean transverse diameter of the oropharynx have also been reported to increase with the procedure [58]. In conclusion, MMA is considered to be a safe and highly effective treatment for OSA [59].
