15BACKGROUND: The mandibular advancement device (MAD) is widely used for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) treatment, and several studies have demonstrated its effectiveness. However, no comprehensive studies have yet examined the biomechanical safety of the MAD. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to analyse the biomechanical effect of different protrusion positions of a MAD on the teeth and facial bones. METHODS: The posterior restorative forces due to the stretched mandibular muscles were
Abstract To reduce complications related to the osteosynthesis plating system, the use of a patient-specific plate design was proposed. However, the issue of associated complications is still critical. Because existing patient-specific plate designs have mainly relied on parametric studies, a design method is needed that considers the complex factors influencing the performance of the reconstruction and that can be generalized for various patients. The goal of this study was to propose a design
