          SUMMARY

          Maxillo-mandibular advancement MMA is considered an efficacious treatment for patients affected by severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Even though OSAS improvement is the main goal of MMA, excessive maxillo-mandibular protrusion should be avoided to guarantee pleasant postoperative facial aesthetics. In order to attain such a result, the amount of MMA should be planned preoperatively by both aesthetic and cephalometric analyses. Steiner and Delaire cephalometric analyses are commonly used in the preoperative planning of orthognatic surgery for dentofacial deformities, however controversies still exist about the basis and postoperative aesthetic results of such cephalometric analyses in OSAS patients candidate for MMA. Forty-eight patients affected by severe OSAS were submitted to MMA. Pre- and post-operative Steiner and Delaire cephalometric tracings were assessed in each subject. For Steiner analysis, the variation in the SNA and SNB angles was measured, while for Delaire tracings the variation in the C3/FM-CPA and C3/FM-Me angles was assessed. Mean MMA was 6.9 + 3.8 mm for the maxilla and 13.6 + 5 mm for the mandible. After surgery, an improvement of the apnoea-hypopnoea index was recorded (40.47 + 7.64 preoperative vs. 12.56 + 5.78 postoperative). In all patients, both cephalometric analyses showed presurgical bimaxillary retrusion. After surgery, the mean value of Steiner's SNA angle increased from 78.18° to 85.58° (p < 0.001), while mean Delaire's C3/FM-CPA angle increased from 81.19° to 89.71° (p < 0.001). The mean value of Steiner's SNB angle increased from 74.33° to 80.73° (p < 0.001), while Delaire's C3/FM-Me angle increased from 80.10° to 87.29° (p < 0.001). Postoperatively, both the maxilla and mandible were in a more protrusive position (p < 0.001) according to Steiner analysis compared with Delaire tracing. Basing MMA on Delaire cephalometric analysis leads to an increased advancement of the maxillo-mandibular complex than Steiner tracing. The consequences of this aspect on facial aesthetics should be considered during surgical planning and preoperative informed consent in OSAS patients candidate for MMA.

          RIASSUNTO

          L'avanzamento maxillo-mandibolare (AMM) è un trattamento efficace per pazienti affetti da sindrome delle apnee ostruttive notturne (OSAS) di grado severo. Sebbene il miglioramento dell'OSAS sia l'obiettivo principale di tale chirurgia, è necessario evitare un avanzamento maxillo-mandibolare eccessivo per garantire un gradevole risultato in termini di estetica facciale. A tale scopo, è necessario programmare preoperatoriamente l'entità dell'AMM mediante un'analisi estetica e cefalometrica. Le analisi cefalometriche di Steiner e Delaire vengono comunemente impiegate nella programmazione della chirurgia ortognatica per deformità dentofaciali, tuttavia resta controverso il ruolo di tali analisi nei pazienti con OSAS candidati a AMM. Quarantotto pazienti con OSAS severa sono stati sottoposti a AMM. Abbiamo effettuato le analisi cefalometriche di Steiner e Delaire in tutti i soggetti. Per il tracciato di Steiner, abbiamo misurato la variazione degli angoli SNA e SNB, mentre per l'analisi di Delaire, abbiamo misurato la variazione degli angoli C3/FM-CPA e C3/ FM-Me. L'AMM medio è stato di 6,9 + 3,8 mm per il mascellare superiore e 13,6 + 5 mm per la mandibola. Dopo l'intervento abbiamo riscontrato un miglioramento dell'Indice di Apnea-Ipopnea (40,47 + 7,64 preoperatoriamente vs. 12,56 + 5,78 postoperatoriamente). In tutti i pazienti, entrambe le tecniche cefalometriche hanno dimostrato una retrusione bimascellare preoperatoria. Dopo l'intervento, l'angolo SNA medio è aumentato da 78,18° a 85,58° (p < 0,001), mentre l'angolo C3/FM-CPA medio è aumentato da 81,19° a 89,71° (p < 0,001). Il valore medio dell'angolo SNB è aumentato da 74,33° a 80,73° (p < 0,001), mentre l'angolo medio C3/FM-CPA è passato da 80,10° a 87,29° (p < 0,001). Postoperatoriamente, sia il mascellare superiore che la mandibola risultavano in una posizione più protrusa (p < 0,001) se analizzati secondo l'analisi di Steiner rispetto al tracciato di Delaire. L'utilizzo dell'analisi cefalometrica di Delaire nella programmazione dell'AMM in pazienti con OSAS comporta un avanzamento maxillo-mandibolare superiore rispetto al tracciato di Steiner. È opportuno considerare le conseguenze di tale risulto sull'estetica facciale durante la programmazione chirurgica e nel consenso informato preoperatorio in pazienti con OSAS candidati a AMM.

            The new AASM criteria for scoring hypopneas: impact on the apnea hypopnea index.

            To compare apnea-hypopnea indices (AHIs) derived using 3 standard hypopnea definitions published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM); and to examine the impact of hypopnea definition differences on the measured prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Retrospective review of previously scored in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG). Two tertiary-hospital clinical sleep laboratories. 328 consecutive patients investigated for OSA during a 3-month period. N/A. AHIs were originally calculated using previous AASM hypopnea scoring criteria (AHI(Chicago)), requiring either >50% airflow reduction or a lesser airflow reduction with associated >3% oxygen desaturation or arousal. AHIs using the "recommended" (AHI(Rec)) and the "alternative" (AHI(Alt)) hypopnea definitions of the AASM Manual for Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events were then derived in separate passes of the previously scored data. In this process, hypopneas that did not satisfy the stricter hypopnea definition criteria were removed. For AHI(Rec), hypopneas were required to have > or =30% airflow reduction and > or =4% desaturation; and for AHI(Alt), hypopneas were required to have > or =50% airflow reduction and > or =3% desaturation or arousal. The median AHI(Rec) was approximately 30% of the median AHI(Chicago), whereas the median AHI(Alt), was approximately 60% of the AHI(Chicago), with large, AHI-dependent, patient-specific differences observed. Equivalent cut-points for AHI(Rec) and AHI(Alt), compared to AHI(Chicago) cut-points of 5, 15, and 30/h were established with receiver operator curves (ROC). These cut-points were also approximately 30% of AHI(Chicago) using AHI(Rec) and 60% of AHI(Chicago) using AHI(Alt). Failure to adjust cut-points for the new criteria would result in approximately 40% of patients previously classifled as positive for OSA using AHI(Chicago) being negative using AHI(Rec) and 25% being negative using AHI(Alt). This study demonstrates that using different published standard hypopnea definitions leads to marked differences in AHI. These results provide insight to clinicians and researchers in interpreting results obtained using different published standard hypopnea definitions, and they suggest that consideration should be given to revising the current scoring recommendations to include a single standardized hypopnea definition.

              Facial keys to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Part I.

              The purpose of this article is twofold (1) to present an organized, comprehensive clinical facial analysis and (2) to discuss the soft tissue changes associated with orthodontic and surgical treatments of malocclusion. Facial examination leads to avoidance of potential orthodontic and surgical facial balance decline and enhances diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment, and quality of results. Patients are examined in natural head position, centric relation, and relaxed lip posture. Nineteen key facial traits are analyzed. By examining the patient in this format, reliable facial-skeletal traits can be recorded that enhance all aspects of care. Orthodontics and surgery used to correct the bite alter facial traits; alteration should reverse negative traits and maintain positive traits. This cannot be achieved without a complete understanding of the face before treatment. Tooth movement (orthodontic or surgical) used to correct the bite can negatively impact facial esthetics, especially if pretreatment esthetics are not defined before treatment. Treating the bite based on model analysis or on osseous cephalometric standards without examination of the face is not adequate. Three questions are asked regarding the 19 facial traits before treatment: (1) What is the quality of the existing facial traits? (2) How will orthodontic tooth movement to correct the bite affect the existing traits (positively or negatively)? (3) How will surgical bone movement to correct the bite affect the existing traits (positively or negatively)? This article is for orthodontists, and yet, much surgical information is included. This is intentional. We only treat what we are educated to see. The more we see, the better the treatment we render our patients.
