Study on Mandibular Advancement Effects on Pharyngeal Airway Space in Oral Cancer Patients

Posted: January 14, 2025
A monocentric prospective study explored the impact of mandibular protrusion using a mandibular advancement device on pharyngeal airway space in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. The study revealed significant increases in minimum cross-sectional area, mean cross-sectional area, and volume with different protrusion distances. These findings have implications for both conservative and surgical therapy in dental, orthodontic, and oral surgical fields, aiding in predicting PAS parameter changes and determining optimal protrusion distances for mandibular advancement devices in obstructive sleep apnea cases.
