Evaluation & quantification of airway changes in Class II division 1 patients undergoing myofunctional therapy using twin block appliance
Read Full Article (Link) Abstract: Background The purpose of the present study was to determine the airway changes in skeletal class II division 1 malocclusion patients with mandibular retrognathism, treated with Twin-Block (TB) appliance. Methods Airway assessment was carried for twelve patients (mean age 11.7 ± 1.1 years) who underwent myofunctional therapy using TB appliance […]
Acoustic Pharyngometry – A new method to facilitate oral appliance therapy
View Full Article (PDF) Abstract: Background: There is lack of reliable and accurate methods to predict treatment out- comes of oral appliance (OA) treatment. Acoustic pharyngometry (AP) is a non-inva- sive technique to evaluate the volume and minimal cross-sectional area of the upper airway, which may prove useful to locate the optimal position of OAs. […]
Perfect Your Practice With Dental Sleep Medicine
As a dentist, you wear a lot of hats. You’re a business owner, health provider, and constantly taking continuing education credits to improve your acumen as both. Often times, however, these credit hours can seem like a homogeneous mass after a while, with each class seeming more or less like the last. With Sleep […]
Utility of Acoustic Pharyngometry for Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Source: https://www.elsevier.com/locate/anl Abstract: Objective: To determine whether combining acoustic pharyngometric parameters with cephalo- metric and clinical parameters could improve the predictive power for significant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a Korean population. Methods: A total of 229 consecutive adult patients with suspected OSA were enrolled. The predictability for significant OSA using acoustic pharyngometric or cephalometric […]
