a Síndrome da Apneia e Hipopneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAOS) é uma doença muito prevalente e que traz importantes consequências para a vida dos seus portadores. O tratamento da condição é relevante para a melhora do bem-estar geral e da expectativa de vida dos afetados. Os tratamentos odontológicos mais frequentes para a SAOS são os dispositivos de avanço mandibular (DAMs) e a cirurgia ortognática de avanço maxilomandibular (AMM) - essa última, possivelmente, é a única opção de tratamento com alta probabilidade de cura do problema.

Objetivo:

o presente artigo faz uma revisão narrativa da SAOS sob a perspectiva de 25 anos de experiência clínica no tratamento da doença.

Conclusão:

os DAMs são uma sólida opção de tratamento para o ronco primário e apneias leves ou moderadas. Apneias graves, em pacientes que não se adaptam ou se recusam a usar o CPAP, também podem ser tratadas com os DAMs. A cirurgia ortognática de AMM é uma alternativa segura e muito eficaz de solução da SAOS.

Figure 1
Segments of the polysomnographies of the patient presented in Figure 5, before and after orthognathic surgery. The hypnograms show the patient awake (W), and in the sleep stages of REM, 1 2 and 3. The respiratory events (apneas + hypopneas) are marked by vertical lines, as well as the microarousals (Arousals). Note that prior to surgery there is a certain association between microarousal and respiratory events. Also, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) is associated with respiratory events; the red arrow points to one of the desaturation events that occurred after a respiratory event (blue arrow). The patient had important improvements in number of respiratory events, number of microarousals, blood oxygen saturation, and sleep quality with surgery.

Figure 2
The MAD projects the mandible: A) without projection, B) with projection. Airway space volume (AS) increases (arrows) and/or an improvement in pharyngeal wall tone occurs. This is due to the advancement of the tongue (T) and other para-mandibular soft tissues; even the collapse of the soft palate (SP) undergoes improvement. The overjet (C, in red) decreases over the years (D), by projection of the lower teeth and retraction of the upper ones (arrows).

Figure 3
Examples of MADs: different devices can be used to adjust the mandibular position. The arrows point to screws that control the magnitude of the mandibular advancement and allow adjustments.

Figure 5
Initial photographs of patients with AHI = 19.7 who underwent surgical orthodontic treatment with the Surgery First protocol. There was a maxillomandibular deficiency (A to C), in addition to a Class II malocclusion (D to F).

Thumbnail

Figure 6
Cephalometric radiographs: initial (A) and immediately after surgery (B). Note that the mandibular advancement was greater than the maxillary advancement, leading to an anterior crossbite (C). This relationship was corrected by means of skeletal anchorage miniplates, which provided the necessary anchorage for lower arch retraction (arrows in B, D and F). The right lower first molar was removed before surgery (E). Panoramic radiographs: initial (E) and immediately after surgery (F).

Figure 7
Final photographs of the treatment. A to C show the extraoral views: good aesthetic results were obtained. No counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane was performed, to provide good incisor exposure when smiling (C). Good occlusion was achieved at the end of treatment (D to F).
