RESUMO
By cephalometric analysis of 18 normal men and 12 men who got TMJ ankylosis with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS),the authors reported that there were cephalometric characteristics in the patients:the craniomaxillofacial bones displacement posteriorly and superiorly,and demonstrated that it is key to advance the patients' jaws and enlarge the upper airway space.
RESUMO
After taken the comparative studies on the cephalometric analysis of the patients of TMJ ankyolsis with OSAS pre-and-post operation,the authors demonstrated the method combining TMJ reconstruction and orthognathic surgery is responsible to the patients.
RESUMO
By cephalometric analysis of 18 normal men and 12 men who got TMJ ankylosis with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS),the authors reported that there were cephalometric characteristics in the patients:the posterior airway space(PAS) decreased(P<0.001),and the rate of (TA+SPA)/OPA remarkably increased(P<0.001),so the two parameters are significant for the diagnosis and treatment of the patients.
