| Popis: | We describe the use of anterior mandibular subapical setback osteotomy combined with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy in the treatment of selected patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The technique enables maximal mandibular advancement, it alleviates pharyngeal narrowing, and minimises the alteration to the mid facial profile that is associated with traditional maxillomandibular advancement. |
