Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES We assessed whether critical pathophysiological phenotypes predict treatment response in patients with obstructive sleep apnea using a mandibular advancement device (MAD). METHODS Thirty-one patients with obstructive sleep apnea were treated with a MAD. Individuals were categorized and graded into 4 pathophysiological phenotypes based on polysomnographic features (anatomical, ventilatory control, arousal threshold, and muscle responsiveness). Morpho-anthropometric data were additionally assessed. Patients were classified as responders or nonresponders. Associations between polysomnographic phenotypes and treatment response were documented, as were morpho-anthropometric data and their impact on therapeutic success. RESULTS There was a male predominance (64.5%), with a median age of 49 years (25th percentile: 40; 75th percentile: 55), body mass index = 27.4 kg/m2 (25th percentile: 26; 75th percentile: 28.8), and apnea-hypopnea index of 18.2 events/h (25th percentile: 11.7; 75th percentile: 27.6). The majority of patients treated with a MAD (58%) were good responders (68.0% mild and moderate vs 16.7% severe). Treatment response was associated with shorter intermolar and interpremolar distances in the lower arch (P = .0092 and .0129). Rapid eye movement sleep apnea-hypopnea index and MAD-related treatment response were inversely correlated (P = .0013). Favorable anatomical (P = .0339) and low muscle response (P = .0447) phenotypes were correlated with outcomes. CONCLUSIONS According to our results, a favorable response occurred in a better "anatomical phenotype" and in the worse "muscular responsiveness phenotype" according to polysomnographic data. Furthermore, other favorable predictors, such as a rapid eye movement sleep apnea-hypopnea index < 16 events/h and a smaller distance between lower molars and premolars, were found. These findings indicate that clinical and polysomnographic aspects can discriminate phenotypes that may guide decisions on MAD treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.

Comparison of the upper airway morphology between Dutch and Chinese adults with obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep Breath 2023; 27:2223-2230. [PMID: 37093512 PMCID: PMC10656314 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-023-02834-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is complex and may vary between different races. It has been suggested that the anatomical balance between skeletal tissues and soft tissues around the upper airway is a key pathophysiologic factor of OSA. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the anatomical balance of the upper airway between Dutch and Chinese patients with OSA based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study performed in two centers and included Dutch and Chinese adults with OSA. CBCT scans in the supine position were obtained for both Dutch and Chinese OSA groups. The primary outcome variable was the anatomical balance of the upper airway, defined as the ratio of the tongue area and the maxillomandibular enclosure area. RESULTS A total of 28 Dutch adults (mean age ± SD of 46.6 ± 14.1 years, body mass index [BMI] of 26.8 ± 3.5 kg/m2, and apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] of 15.7 ± 7.1 events/h) and 24 Chinese adults (age 41.0 ± 12.4 years, BMI 26.5 ± 3.3 kg/m2, and AHI 16.5 ± 7.8 events/h). There were no significant differences in AHI, age, BMI, and sex between the two groups (P = 0.14-0.76). The Dutch group had a significantly larger tongue area and tongue length compared to the Chinese group (P = 0.01 and P < 0.01). On the other hand, the Chinese group had a smaller maxilla length compared to the Dutch group (P < 0.01). However, the anatomical balance of the upper airway of both groups was not significantly different (P = 0.16). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, no significant difference was found in the anatomical balance of the upper airway between Dutch and Chinese patients with mild to moderate OSA. TRIAL REGISTRATION The present study was registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03463785.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between aerodynamic characteristics of the upper airway and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. METHODS Ninety-seven adult OSA patients underwent polysomnography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The anatomical and aerodynamic characteristics were measured based on CBCT images and computational fluid dynamics modelling of the upper airway. RESULTS After controlling for patients' gender, age, and body mass index (BMI), the maximum velocity during inspiration (In-Vmax) led to the largest increase in the explanatory power of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) variation. The In-Vmax was closely correlated with the minimum axial area, and their relationship was represented by an inversely proportional fitted curve. CONCLUSIONS The In-Vmax was the most relevant to OSA severity, and it could be used to assist in recognizing severe OSA patients and as a primary variable to evaluate treatment outcomes of OSA. The In-Vmax was closely related to the most constricted area of the upper airway.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mandibular advancement device (MAD) is recognized as the treatment option for management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in mild-moderate cases or those unable to tolerate positive airway pressure therapy. Post-treatment sleep study is recommended to establish MAD efficacy when maximal therapeutic benefit is achieved based on OSA symptom improvement or maximum anatomical protrusion. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference between responders and non-responders in OSA symptom improvement and predictors of treatment success. METHODS Medical charts of patients referred to the Orofacial Pain Clinic between 2016 and 2021 for management of OSA with MAD were retrospectively evaluated. Participants with post-treatment sleep study with MAD in situ were included. Participants were categorized as responders according to different criteria: 50% reduction in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) compared to baseline; post-treatment AHI ≤ 10 with ≥ 50% reduction from baseline; AHI ≤ 5 with ≥ 50% reduction. OSA symptoms included snoring, apneas, sleep quality, tiredness upon awakening, daytime sleepiness, and subjective improvement. Differences in pre- and post-treatment variables within/between groups and predictors were analyzed with t test and logistic regression. RESULTS Among 53 participants (30 females), mean age was 64.2 ± 10.7 and pre-treatment was AHI 23.3 ± 17.2. Depending upon the criteria, responders ranged between 26 and 57%. At first follow-up after MAD delivery, non-responders reported less tiredness upon awakening (p = 0.003), better sleep quality (p = 0.005), and greater subjective improvement (p = 0.012) than responders. Among significant OSA symptoms, tiredness upon awakening, poorer sleep quality, and less subjective improvement were consistently found as predictors of treatment response. CONCLUSION Subjective improvement, sleep quality, and tiredness upon awakening significantly improved in non-responders at first follow-up compared to responders, according to the strictest definition of treatment response. Therefore, a post-treatment sleep study is crucial to confirm proper management of OSA with MAD.

Abstract
Importance Determining interventions to manage obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) depends on clinical examination, polysomnography (PSG) results, and imaging analysis. There remains the need of a noninvasive and cost-effective way to correlate relevant upper airway anatomy with severity of OSA to direct treatment and optimize outcome. Objective To determine whether backscattered ultrasonographic imaging (BUI) analysis of the tongue is associated with severity of OSA in adults. Design, Setting, and Participants In this prospective, single-center, diagnostic study of a consecutive series of patients (aged ≥18 years) at a sleep surgery clinic, the 89 included patients had a PSG within 3 years at the time of ultrasonography and BUI analysis between July 2020 and March 2022. Patients were excluded if body mass index had changed more than 10% since time of PSG. A standardized submental ultrasonographic scan with laser alignment was used with B-mode and BUI analysis applied to the tongue. The B-mode and BUI intensity were associated with the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), a measure of severity of apnea from normal (no OSA) to severe OSA. Exposures Ultrasonography and PSG. Main Outcomes and Measures The main outcomes were BUI parameters and their association with AHI value. Results Eighty-nine patients were included between July 2020 and March 2022. A total of 70 (78.7%) male patients were included; and distribution by race and ethnicity was 46 (52%) White participants, 22 (25%) Asian participants, and 2 (2%) African American participants, and 19 (21%) others. Median (IQR) age was 37.0 (29.0-48.3) years; median (IQR) BMI was 25.3 (23.2-29.8); and median (IQR) AHI was 11.1 (5.6-23.1) events per hour. At the middle to posterior tongue region, the 4 OSA severity levels explained a significant portion of the BUI variance (η2 = 0.153-0.236), and a significant difference in BUI values was found between the subgroups with AHI values of less than 15 (no OSA and mild OSA) and greater than or equal to 15 (moderate OSA and severe OSA) events per hour. The echo intensity showed no significant differences. The BUI values showed a positive association with AHI, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of up to 0.43. Higher BUI values remained associated with higher AHI after correction for the covariates of BMI and age. Conclusions and Relevance In this prospective diagnostic study, standardized BUI analysis of the tongue was associated with OSA severity. With the practicality of ultrasonography, this analysis is pivotal in connecting anatomy with physiology in treatment planning for patients with OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A reliable method for analyzing the upper airway (UA) remains a challenge. This study aimed to report the methods for UA assessment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS We performed a systematic review (PROSPERO #CRD42021237490 and PRISMA checklist) that applied a search strategy to seven databases and grey literature. RESULTS In 29 studies with moderate-to-high risk of bias, investigators mostly reported the body position during CBCT (upright or supine) and hard tissue references, diverging in UA delimitation and terminologies. The meta-analysis showed two subgroups (upright and supine), and no statistical differences were identified (p = 0.18) considering the UA area. The volume in the OSA group was smaller than that in the control group (p < 0.003 and Cohen's d = - 0.81) in the upright position. Patients with OSA showed smaller anteroposterior dimensions than the control group and were not affected by the position during image acquisition (p = 0.02; Cohen's d = - 0.52). The lateral measurements were also lower in the OSA group (supine) (p = 0.002; Cohen's d = - 0.6). CONCLUSIONS Patients with OSA showed smaller UA measurements in the upright (volume) and supine (lateral dimension) positions. The anteroposterior dimension was also reduced in patients with OSA compared to the control group, regardless of the position during CBCT acquisition.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine to what extent the anatomic characteristics of the upper airway can influence the effect of nocturnal wearing of dentures on the sleep of edentulous elders with untreated sleep apnea. This study used the data from a randomized crossover clinical trial and an exploratory approach to address its objectives. Cone beam computed tomography scans of 65 edentulous individuals (female, n = 37; male, n = 28; mean ± SD age, 74.54 ± 6.42 y) with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were used to identify anatomic variables. Polysomnography data were collected by means of one portable overnight recording. The respiratory variable values, including apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), with and without denture worn during sleep were used to calculate the change. Statistical analyses included multiple linear regressions, cluster analysis, and binary logistic regressions. A receiver operator characteristic curve was used to illustrate the accuracy of the statistical model. The regression model explained 15.8% (R2) of AHI change. An increase in the lateral dimension of the minimum cross-sectional area was associated with a decrease in AHI, oxygen desaturation index, and respiratory arousal index changes (P ≤ 0.041). Furthermore, an increase in the length of the hypopharynx was associated with an increase in AHI and oxygen desaturation index changes (P ≤ 0.027). An increase in the lateral dimension of the minimum cross-sectional area of the upper airway was associated with a decreased likelihood of being in the group having a worsened AHI (odds ratio = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.95; P = 0.006). An increase in the length of the oropharynx was associated with an increased likelihood of having increased AHI (odds ratio = 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.20; P = 0.026). The nocturnal aggravation of respiratory variables in edentulous individuals with OSA who wear dentures at night can be linked to certain anatomic characteristics of the upper airway. Replication of these findings may open novel avenues for personalized advice regarding nocturnal wearing of dentures in edentulous individuals with OSA (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01868295).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between three-dimensional craniofacial and upper airway anatomical variables and severity of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS This was a prospective observational study, consisted of 95 adult OSA whose polysomnography and CBCT were available. Three-dimensional craniofacial and upper airway anatomical analysis were performed using 12 CBCT variables, including sagittal and vertical jaw relationships, maxillary width, the volume, length and minimum axial area of upper airway. The severity of OSA was evaluated through the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). A hierarchical regression was performed to analyze the relationship between OSA severity and craniofacial and upper airway anatomical variables after controlling patients' demographic characteristics (gender, age, and BMI). RESULTS After controlling patients' gender, age, and BMI, individual CBCT variables including MAA, V-RPA, L-RPA and Go-Me were related to AHI. The final hierarchical regression model with demographic variables in Step 1 and CBCT variables (MAA, L-RPA and Go-Me) in Step 2 indicated that CBCT variables added additional explanatory power for AHI (ΔF(3,88) = 5.176, P = 0.002). Among these variables, L-RPA and Go-Me were statistically significant (P < 0.05). LIMITATION The OSA severity was expressed by AHI alone. CONCLUSIONS Three-dimensional craniofacial and upper airway morphology played an essential role in OSA severity. The most relevant anatomical characteristic with OSA severity were the length of retropalatal airway and mandibular body, which could be used to recognize severe OSA patients and as estimators for selecting the most appropriate treatment modality for OSA patients.

Abstract
The University of Sydney’s Discipline of Orthodontics has been actively pursuing research in the areas of root resorption, sleep apnea, magnets in orthodontics, implants, acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), and remote monitoring (RM). Our research has shed light on many specific factors that influence orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR). We also explored the effects of some of the most discussed acceleration interventions on OTM and OIIRR, such as vibration, micro-osteoperforations, piezocision, low-level laser therapy, light emitting diode, light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, and pharmacological substances. Further, we have researched into maximizing orthopedic treatment outcomes of maxillary deficient children with use of intraoral force application with utilization of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander. We are currently trialing use of RM to facilitate orthodontic services in the public dental clinics.

Effectiveness of different mandibular advancement device designs in obstructive sleep apnoea therapy: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials with meta-analysis. J Oral Rehabil 2020; 48:469-486. [PMID: 32805753 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are used to treat patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). To date, there are no data that identify the most effective MAD design for apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) reduction. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the effectiveness of different MAD designs in AHI reduction and oxygen saturation improvement in OSA patients. An electronic search was performed in MEDLINE, Cochrane Database, Scopus, Web of Knowledge and LILACS. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the reduction of AHI on adult patients wearing MAD for OSA were included. The quality of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) and the risk of bias by the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias in randomised controlled trial. The success rate of each study was computed: [(mean baseline AHI - mean AHI after treatment)/mean baseline AHI]. Fifty RCTs were included. The risk of bias resulted with some concerns in most of the studies. The GRADE scores indicated that the quality of evidence was very low. The meta-analysis showed a success rate with mono-bloc and duo-bloc MADs respectively of 0.821 [0.722-0.887] and 0.547 [0.443-0.637]. The mono-bloc compared with duo-bloc better improved the minimum oxygen saturation (10.048 [7.733-12.363] and 3.357 [2.290-4.423], respectively). There is a very low quality body of evidence that mono-bloc MADs are more effective in reducing AHI and improving minimum oxygen saturation compared with duo-bloc MADs. The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO (n. CRD42019118084).
