MANDIBULAR SHAPE IN MYOSTATIN-DEFICIENT MICE: A GEOMETRIC MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS [PDF]
The relationship between muscle function and mandibular morphology is unclear. Manipulating the size or function of muscle and then observing the effect on adjacent bone is one way to explore this relationship.

Abstract Background Precise control of corticotomy lines is critical in surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy. The Suya method is traditionally performed freehand, which introduces risks of root damage and procedural inconsistency. A digitally guided protocol may address these limitations by enhancing safety and technical predictability. Methods A

The Association of Upper Airway Anatomy and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Response in OSA
CT‐derived measurements of tongue and craniofacial anatomy were evaluated in adults undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea. Relative tongue volume was not significantly associated with treatment response. Exploratory analyses suggest that other anatomic features such as hyoid positions or transverse maxillary dimensions ...

Long‐Term Results of UPPP and Coblation Channeling of the Tongue for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the long‐term surgical outcomes of combined uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and coblation channeling of the tongue (CCT) for moderate‐to‐severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods The study enrolled patients with moderate‐to‐severe OSA who underwent treatment with UPPP plus CCT and had a minimal follow‐up of 2 years ...
