Splintless Versus Conventional Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (SvCMAS)

13 maggio 2026 aggiornato da: Prof. dr. J. de Lange, MD DMD, Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA)

Splintless Versus Conventional Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether using a splintless surgical approach improves the accuracy of maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. The study will also look at the safety, functional outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of the splintless approach. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the splintless approach lead to more accurate surgical movements of the jaws compared to the conventional splint-based method? What are the safety profile, functional outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of the splintless approach?

Researchers will compare splintless MMA to conventional MMA.

Patients will:

Undergo MMA surgery using either the splintless or splint-based method; Attend regular follow-up visits as part of routine care; Complete questionnaires and undergo assessments at various time points; Receive one additional CT scan (24 months after surgery) and one overnight sleep study (60 months after surgery).

Bedpartners of patients will:

Complete questionnaires at various time points.

This trial will help determine whether the splintless approach is a better, safer, and more effective alternative for treating OSA with MMA surgery.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Splintless group
In the splintless group, MMA using patient-specific osteotomy guides and fixation implants (i.e., splintless MMA) will be executed.
Splintless orthognathic surgery is a more recent technical innovation in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, in which patient-specific computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) surgical cutting guides and fixation implants are used to improve surgical precision. Splintless MMA sugery involves virtual surgical planning, surgical procedures, and postoperative monitoring.
Comparatore attivo: Splint group
In the splint group, conventioanl MMA using surgical splints (i.e., splint MMA) will be executed.
In splint MMA surgery, surgical procedure is virtually planned in three dimensions (3D) and the surgical planning is transfered to the operating room with 3D-printed intermediate and final splints. These splints are used during surgery to place and fixate the maxilla and mandible in the planned position.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Surgical accuracy
Lasso di tempo: 1 week after MMA

Because the main objective of MMA for OSA is achieving the planned advancement and counter-clockwise rotation to relieve the upper airway collapse, anteroposterior translation of the maxilla and mandible, and pitch of the maxilla and mandible are the main study parameters.

The postoperative CT scan is superimposed on the preoperative virtual planning. The absolute difference between the planned value for a parameter and the postoperative acquired value will be calculated, which provides an intuitive accuracy measurement of MMA surgery.
