2. OSA patients usually display chronic intermittent hypoxemia, which raises cir-
culant inammatory cytokines levels, contributing to the pathogenesis of multi­ple comorbidities presented with OSA.
These inammatory cytokines have also been reported in TMD.Therefore, OSA might contribute to the pathogenesis of TMD by enhancing systemic inammation. Therefore, it is not surprising that OSA patients have higher TMD incidence [122, 123].
3. Malocclusion and other craniofacial abnormalities may induce the upper airway collapse during sleep. This is the reason why mandibular advancement appli­ances are suggested to treat OSA.In fact, accompanying OSA, there might be diverse craniofacial structure anomalies and/or muscle dysfunction predisposing to TMD development [124].
Also, the co-occurrence of TMD and UARS has led investigators to postulate a TMD/UARS phenotype that develops during growth in response to disordered breathing during wakefulness [124].
However, paradoxically mandibular-advancement intraoral appliances to treat or manage OSA may also cause TMD or increase its risk.
4. TMD and sleep bruxism may concomitantly present in OSA patients. Bruxism episodes index (BEI) positively correlated with the AHI in patients with mild-to moderate OSA, whereas patients with severe OSA had lower BMI than those with mild-to-moderate OSA [125130].
This relationship between OSA and bruxism has been previously discussed in
this chapter.
Patients referred for OSA treatment also present to the clinic with signs and symptoms of TMD.This is a solid clinical feature for deciding what problem should be addressed rst or if we can treat both simultaneously [131].
Cunali etal. reported a group of patients diagnosed with mild to moderate OSA referred for oral appliance therapy. Nearly 52% of the patients presented TMD, with a high prevalence of pain in OSA patients [132].
Since the development of TMD has also been reported after the treatment of OSA with oral appliance therapy, it is crucial to detect the presence of previous TMD in the patients referred for OSA treatment [131].
As with other forms of treatment, the use of MADs is not exempt from side effects. While relatively common, most of the side effects associated with MADs tend to be relatively minor and transient and do not usually prohibit the use of the appliances.
These have been mentioned above [132, 133].
It has been hypothesized that by inducing forward and downward position of the mandible, MAD can impact clinical signs of TMD and objective perception of them [132134].
The most common temporomandibular joint-related side effects are:
• Transient morning jaw pain.
• Persistent temporomandibular joint pain.
• Tenderness in muscles of mastication.
• Joint sounds.
226

Transient jaw pain includes pain or discomfort occurring in the morning upon oral appliance removal that disappears spontaneously during the day. Usually is mild, originating in muscles of mastication, and unlikely to cause OAT abandonment.
Persistent TMD pain is less frequent and usually occurs in OSA patients with previous TMD disorders, especially those or arthrogenic origin. However, the advancement effect of the MAD on the TMJ capsule and lateral pterygoid can aggravate this problem over time and can lead the patient to abandon the treatment. Palliative care with NSAIDs, isometric contraction and passive jaw stretching exer­cises, verifying, or correcting the midline position, decreasing the titration rate, decreasing the total amount of advancement, and conducting a comprehensive TMD evaluation and management are mandatory [132, 134136].
Advancement of the mandibular position wearing the appliance may contribute to tenderness of mastication muscles. Management should be as in the previous scenario. However, symptoms persist a modication in the design of the appliance, physical therapy measures, or wearing a daytime appliance should be necessary [137, 138].
Lastly, the patient may develop joint sounds after treatment with MAD.These are usually transient and resolve with time. First-line treatment is watchful wait­ing. If the joint sounds are accompanied by persistent TMJ pain, temporary or permanent discontinuation of the oral appliance is needed. However, a precise diagnosis of the TMJ disorder should be made before taking that clinical deci­sion [138, 139].
In summary, TMD can be a transient adverse effect associated with the use of MADs, particularly during the initial phases of treatment. Patients with prior signs and symptoms of TMD may experience a worsening of symptoms. For this reason, patients with OSA should be screened for TMD before the initiation of MAD ther­apy and during the subsequent follow-up appointments to prevent the discontinua­tion [140].

12.7 Highlights
• The odds of TMD are signicantly greater in individuals at high risk for SDB
supporting the idea of coexistence.
• Studies employing PSG for SDB and RDC-TMD nd an increased prevalence of
OSA or UARs in subjects with TMD supporting the idea of co-existence.
• OSA often precedes the rst onset of TMD in initially TMD-free adults, support-
ing a relation of causality.
• Multiple hypotheses can explain an association between OSA and TMD, and
how OSA might lead to TMD in susceptible individuals or might exacerbate the
severity of previously existing TMD.
• All patients referred for OSA treatment should be screened for the pres-
ence of TMD.

• Patients with TMD should be screened for SDB and treated if present, of this
life-threatening condition.
• Treatment of SDB is anecdotally reported to improve TMD in some patients.
• However, no clinical trials or controlled clinical studies have been conducted to
determine whether treatment of SDB alters the natural course of existing TMD
or its rst occurrence in TMD-free patients.
• Prior treatment of TMD symptoms is often required before the initiation of OSA
treatment to prevent TMD aggravation.
• TMD side effects from oral appliances are often transient and don’t produce
discontinuation of the treatment.

12.8 Orthognathic Surgery inPatients withOSA
Treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) aims to prevent the col­lapse of the pharynx during sleep. There are several alternatives as a treatment. These range from noninvasive therapy with the use of CPAP (continuous positive air pressure device) to invasive surgical procedures that can modify the facial pattern of patients [141].
The goal of CPAP is to create a pneumatic stent in the airway during sleep to prevent obstruction and the resulting episodes of apnea and hypoxia; although it is the most reliable method to correct the collapse of the airways, it is far from being the most comfortable and ergonomic device during sleep, so the adherence to the use of these devices is very variable and decreases over the time, therefore the mor­bidity and mortality in those patients who do not adapt to its use is higher [141]. Patients who do not adapt to CPAP therapy have an absolute increase of 10% in the risk of mortality at 5 years, for which various surgical techniques have been described in an attempt to resolve the condition permanently [142].
Advances in surgical therapy have improved signicantly since the description and understanding of the syndrome. The rst invasive treatment described was the tracheotomy performed by Kuhlo for the treatment of upper airway obstruction in the “Pickwickian” subject [143].
Soft tissue surgical procedures to increase airway volume and/or space in patients who cannot tolerate CPAP have sometimes improved subjectively or just with a decrease in snoring during sleep, however, the actual rate of success for these pro­cedures is relatively low and ranges from 40% to 60%, so patient acceptance of these results is highly questionable [144146].
One of the soft tissue interventions for the treatment of upper airway obstruction in patients with sleep apnea described by Ikematsu and later popularized by Fujita is uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) [147, 148]. There are several hypotheses for which there is a limited effectiveness of surgical interventions in soft tissues, it is due to the fact that there may be multiple anomalies in the entire extension of the pharynx which is not limited to one area, so it is essential to take into account the dimensions of the pharynx in terms of its average length that is 12–15cm (14cm in

men and 13cm in women), diameter in the transverse direction of 4–5cm and in the anteroposterior direction of 2–3cm, with a vertical extension from the base of the skull to the C6 level (corresponding to the cricoid cartilage), where it continues with the esophagus [149151].
It is essential to remember the muscles involved in the permeability of the air­way, one of the main ones is the genioglossus muscle, which is shaped like a trian­gle whose vertex is located behind the mental symphysis and its convex base corresponds to the dorsal aspect of the tongue this muscle contraction helps in sta­bilizing and lengthening the upper section of the tongue, maintaining its anterior location, thus allowing the patency of the airway to be maintained. During sleep, muscle bers relaxes, causing posterior displacement of the tongue and obstruction in susceptible patients [152].
Advancement mentoplasty has been proposed as an alternative treatment. The intervention is based on an osteotomy of the mental symphysis to bring the genio­glossus and geniohyoid muscles forward, causing an advancement of the tongue, avoiding obstruction of the upper airways in the hypopharynx during sleep [153].
The rst publication of an intervention in the jaws for OSA treatment was made in 1984 by R.Riley, te. Guilleminault, *N.Powell, and tS.Derman. They described a 24-year-old male patient with OSA, daytime sleepiness, and nocturnal arrhyth­mias who had undergone palatopharyngoplasty surgery without signicant improve­ment. A new surgical procedure was proposed combining an advance of the hyoid bone and a mandibular horizontal sliding osteotomy; Later, the same authors pub­lished a more extensive series of cases through the treatment of Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) in patients with severe OSA.They described a combined maxillary, mandibular, and hyoid advancement. They observed an objective improvement through PSG after 4–18months of surgery t [154].
Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) described a surgical intervention has shown signicant surgical success in OSA treatment. A preoperative surgical assess­ment should be performed when considering Maxillomandibular advancement sur­gery. It should include x-ray studies, orthopantomography, and lateral cephalometry to study craniofacial alterations, the facial biotype, and the probable site of airway obstruction. Obtaining a volumetric tomography may improve information, which we can navigate within the airways (Fig.12.21). In addition, it is possible through computer programs to carry out preoperative surgical planning, providing a helpful guide and an accurate reconstruction of the bone structures so we can predict and plan the aesthetic and soft tissue changes obtained through the movements of the bone structures (Fig.12.22).
This customization improves prediction and accuracy, allowing visible and pre­cise relationships between the different soft tissue and bone structures.
We consider it crucial to obtain CAD-CAM models (Computer-Aided Design­Computer- Aided Manufacturing) to carry out the bone movements objectively and, if necessary, to conrm the plates or select the correct length of the screws to be placed (Fig.12.23) [155, 156].

The selection criteria for patients who are candidates for MMA are the following:
• Diagnosis of OSA by polysomnography.
• Site of obstruction determined by Mallampati classication, cephalometry,
tomography, or ideally by drug-induced sedation endoscopy (DISE).
• Body mass index (BMI) less than 30kg/m2 (we consider it essential to reduce the
BMI as much as possible to obtain stable long-term results since we must remem-
ber that the redundant soft tissue of the upper respiratory tract becomes lax over
time due to natural aging).
• Age between 18 and 65years.
• Adequate health status to undergo a surgical procedure.
• Intolerance to CPAP after a trial period of at least 3months.
Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) should not be performed if patients have a systemic condition for which they cannot tolerate surgery or if there is an obstruction site at the level of the nasopharynx or hypopharynx [156].
For many physicians who work in OSA, the MMA is considered a very invasive procedure, and therefore, they indicate it as a last resort. We believe that patients who present dentofacial alterations such as mandibular retrognathia, maxillary hypoplasia, microgenia, or a combination of the above should be candidates for orthognathic surgery as the rst choice [157].
Many patients with OSA present bone alterations that can be corrected using orthognathic surgery [157].

it is known that a poor development, mainly of the jaw, is associated with a lower volume of the airways [158].
On the other hand, Grauer etal. evaluated the shape and volume of the airway in subjects with different facial patterns and concluded that the volume and shape vary in patients with different anteroposterior relationships; however, when it comes to vertical relationships, only the shape varies. The class II pattern had the lowest oro­pharyngeal volume (VO) in this study, while class I and class III had similar val­ues [159].
The goal of MMA is to increase posterior airway space (PAS) to decrease airway resistance and eliminate sites of airway collapse. In addition, MMA has decreased retropalatal air velocity and improved lateral pharyngeal wall collapse [160].
High success rates are reported [141, 143, 146, 154]. Most studies show a surgi­cal success rate of approximately 80% and a cure rate of 30%–40% [161], with equivalent improvements in sleep quality to CPAP therapy.
The mechanism behind the improvement of OSA symptoms after MMA is com­plex and based on many factors, the primary means being the modication of the dimensions of the posterior airways [162164].
Changes in preoperative and postoperative polysomnography measure the suc­cess of MMA in OSA. Surgical “cure” is dened as an apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) or Respiratory Impairment Index (RDI) of less than 5. In contrast, “success” is dened as a combined AHI/RDI of less than 10–20 and a decrease in IAH/RDI of 50% or more. The denition of surgical success varies between publications. However, the therapeutic success denition prevails [146].The success or cure, is ultimately achieved by advancing the bony structure of the face to change the asso­ciated soft tissues and airway dimensions [165167] A large neck circumference has been suggested as negative factor for MMA success in patients with OSA [164].
Zaghi etal. [168] have described the preoperative severity of OSA to be the most reliable predictor of outcome. More specically, the more severe cases of OSA tend to benet more after MMA by lowering the AHI, but the cure rate was only 20% among patients with a preoperative AHI of >90 events/h. Patients with a preopera­tive AHI of <30 events/h showed cure in 56% and therefore showed a higher prob­ability of success.
There seems to be a more important effect on the pharyngeal airway produced by mandibular advancement than at maxilla, due to the role played by the advancement of the skeletal insertions of the suprahyoid musculature. But, there is some disagree­ment on this issue of preponderance of an area [169].
A hot topic of controversy in OSA with MMA is the amount of surgical advance­ment required to achieve the desired effect in the posterior airway space. It has been suggested by Riley etal. that a 10mm advancement showed a statistically signi­cant improvement in the postoperative with conrmation by subsequent studies [168, 170].
However, there is still some disagreement, as some studies have not found statis­tically signicant correlation between the amount of advancement and improve­ment in polysomnography results. A minimum advancement of 10mm has not yet

been studied exclusively in patients with normal or class I malocclusion (neutroclu­sion) [171].
Regarding the amount of advancement, there is no specic amount in the litera­ture necessary to obtain better results, Boyd etal. [172] in their study reported an advancement of 7±2.3in the maxilla and 9.2±3.3in the mandible, Vignono etal. reported 10.4±4.3in the maxilla and 12.9±4.2in the mandible, and Li etal. [173] a maxillomandibular advancement of 10.8±2.7. This is close to the commonly accepted standard in most studies of achieving advances of approximately 10mm.
Buttereld etal. [174] reported that maxillary, but not mandibular, advancement was signicantly correlated with changes in IAH and SBP, while others reported a negative correlation between the magnitude of Le Fort advancement and changes in IAH [175].
Mareque etal. [176] proposed a protocol for surgical action in patients with an associated facial deformity, following a sequential pattern, depending on the loca­tion of the defect and the response to initial treatment as follows:
1. Class I patients with bimaxillary hypoplasia: Bimaxillary advancement.
2. Patients in class II and mandibular hypoplasia: (a) Accept orthodontic treatment. Mandibular advancement. (b) Not acceptance of orthodontic treatment:
• No aesthetic compromise: Geniohyoid advancement through anterior mandibular osteotomy.
• Aesthetic compromise: This study shows that jaw advancement surgery, particularly in the maxilla, does not continuously increase airway vol­ume. There is essentially a plateau effect in maxillary advancement up to 7mm; in all three regions, the airway increased in volume with maxillary advancement up to 7mm of maxillary advancement. Beyond 7mm of promotion, airway volume (whole airway or segmented airway regions) decreased despite further advancement. The most signicant percentage change was seen in the nasopharynx but showed the most signicant standard deviation [177].
In a cohort study of 62 patients who underwent maxillary advancement, two variables were associated with a successful or unsuccessful outcome: the rst was age, which was higher in unsuccessful patients, and the second was circumference of the neck, which was greater in patients with treatment failure. Regarding age, a possible explanation for this could be the degeneration of muscle bers in the pha­ryngeal airways, which gives greater relaxation and softness. The mechanism behind MMA is to widen the pharyngeal airway by gently stretching tissues, but with increasing age of the tissues, this mechanical effect maybe more susceptible to failure, associated with signicant gravity and neck circumference [164].
Comparison of results of the procedures through different imaging studies is found. Orthognathic surgery offers great variability of treatment possibilities for the same problem. It is challenging for different surgeons to repeat the same surgical

233
procedure accurately. On the other hand, it is impossible to carry out an identical movement in different patients since each one has a very individual diagnosis and facial characteristics, requiring highly individualized treatment. Finally, there are inherent difculties with volumetric measurements of the airway. Postural changes signicantly modify pharyngeal dimensions. The natural position of the head is the standardized method proposed for performing cone-beam tomography; however, it is difcult to reproduce precisely. The control of breathing and the tongue’s position during the examination is challenging to achieve, and not all researchers consider these variables [169]. Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure by patients; Boyd etal. [172] reported as main adverse events that 40% of the patients presented long-standing paresthesia in the chin region and 13.8% of the patients perceived an unfavorable change in their facial aesthetics after treatment. No patient reported serious adverse events.
Camacho etal. [178] 2019 published a meta-analysis on the long-term results of MMA as a treatment for OSA. They analyzed 120 patients and concluded that patients maintained an improvement in AHI, sleepiness, and oxygen saturation. However, the average AHI may increase in the long term with some reports studying longer term effects (8years). These have concluded excellent immediate results with an increase of AHI that varies between 11.3 and 40.6 events [179, 180]. Some factors that might inuence this include redundant upper airway tissue that might become laxer over time, skeletal recurrence, and normal patient aging.
Zhou etal. (2020) [181], published a systematic review and meta-analysis com­paring the efcacy of different surgical treatments based on MMA in adults with OSA, including 227 patients and eight other treatments. The treatments stud­ied were:
• Traditional maxillomandibular advancement (MMA).
• Modied maxillary advancement (MMA and advancement mentoplasty).
• Maxillomandibular advancement with counterclockwise movement (MMACM).
• Maxillomandibular advancement and drug-induced sedation endoscopy
(MMA+DISE).
• Maxillomandibular advancement and trans oral robotic surgery (MMA+TORS).
• Maxillomandibular advancement and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
(MMA+UPPP).
• Maxillomandibular advancement and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with uvula
preservation (MMA+UPFPUP).
Of these treatments, the one that offered the most signicant improvement in terms of AHI, Oxygen Saturation, and Epworth Scale was maxillomandibular advancement with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with uvula preservation (MMA + UPPPUP); however, analyzing isolated procedures, good results were seen in maxillomandibular advancement (MMMA) with counterclockwise maxil­lomandibular advancement (MMACM), offering benet for patients with moderate to severe OSA [181].
234
https://t.me/medicina_free
These data contrast Camacho etal. [178] report that did not nd improvement for performing a maxillomandibular advancement alone or combined with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
Whether or not to perform procedures on the soft palate (either UPPP or UPFPCPU) depends on the site of obstruction.
When the obstruction is in the hypopharyngeal area, the advantages of this pro­cedure are limited, Bettega etal. [182] report that the success rates of these proce­dures are 40.8% in general and are reduced to 5% when there is a narrowing in the retrolingual space. Therefore, drug-induced sedation endoscopy (DISE) has become popular today since it allows for the establishment of the sites of obstruction with greater precision and, in this way, to plan the treatments that can offer the best results. However, the systematic review carried out by Zhou etal. [181] did not nd a signicant improvement in the therapeutic success of performing an MMA alone or previously with DISE, which is why it is considered a diagnostic tool rather than therapeutic success tool.

12.9 Conclusions
• Whenever the patient presents a skeletal discrepancy, MMA treatment should be
considered as the rst treatment option.
• The main criteria for a patient to be a candidate for orthognathic surgery are
diagnosis of OSA by polysomnography, identication of the site of obstruction,
(by tomography or DISE), and a BMI of less than 30.
• The goal of MMA is to increase posterior airway space while decreasing airway
resistance and eliminating sites of collapse.
• Although considered by some health professionals to be an invasive treatment,
MMA is a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of moderate to severe
obstructive sleep apnea.
• The success rate of MMA in OSA treatment has been reported to be approxi-
mately 80% and a cure rate of 30%–40%.
• Within the different modalities of this procedure, the best results are the MMA
with advancement mentoplasty and MMA with counterclockwise rotation.
• In some cases, MMA and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with uvula preservation
can offer superior results to MMA alone.
• Mainly when DISE previously veries the site or sites of obstruction.
• More methodologically well-designed studies are required to verify the success
of these treatments in the longer term to verify their stability over time.
• The dentist specializing in oral and maxillofacial surgery must be a part of the
multidisciplinary teams that care for patients with OSA’s and participate in the
initial evaluation of patients and in maxillofacial surgical treatments when these
are indicated.
