How does distraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion (DOME) reduce severity of obstructive sleep apnea
2019
Objective
Distraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion (DOME) is a reliable method to expand the nasal floor and hard palatal vault in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). DOME results in a reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and subjective report of improved nasal breathing. Using rhinomanometry augmented computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling, we propose a mechanism of how DOME reduces upper airway pharyngeal collapse in adults with OSA.
