Meanings of mandibular advancement in English

The predictability was correlated with the magnitude of the maxillary and mandibular advancement, age and V-Y closure.

Conclusions: These data suggest that the mode of dilation of the velopharyngeal space differs between maxillary advancement and mandibular advancement.

Linear regression analysis identified age, gender, amount of surgical mandibular advancement and postoperative condylar volume loss as predictive factors for mandibular relapse.

Accordingly, we hypothesized that mandibular advancement increases cross-sectional area of several segments of the upper airway, including the velopharynx and the oropharynx.

The mean mandibular advancement was 7.8 mm.

For more severe sleep apnoea, a mandibular advancement splint (interlocking gum shield which pulls the jaw forward) can also be helpful.

Background: The benefit of mandibular advancement devices in patients with sleep-disordered breathing and as a potential option for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is well recognised.
