Modified maxillomandibular advancement surgery for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea: a scoping review

Modified maxillomandibular advancement (MMMA) has been proposed as an alternative to the classic maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) in East and Southeast Asian populations in which bimaxillary protrusion is a prevalent trait. The key difference between MMMA and MMA is the inclusion of anterior segmental osteotomies to reduce the protrusion of the perioral region. The aim of this scoping review was to identify the variations in MMMA and treatment outcomes. A search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane electronic databases for articles published up to January 2023.
