Maxillomandibular advancement is a successful treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea: A systematic review and meta-analysis

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Jun 07, 2018

John CR, et al. - Researchers ascertained the efficacy of maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) as a successful treatment modality in improving airway patency in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
