Abstract

摘要下颌前伸矫治器(MADs)是广泛使用的治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的方法。MADs通过前伸下颌来打开上气道。为了提高患者的舒适度,大多数患者可以张开嘴巴。然而,并非所有的装置在嘴巴张开时都能保持下颌向前的位置,这会导致产生有利于上气道塌陷的下颌后移。此外,下颌-装置组合构成的机制的运动行为取决于下颌形态。这意味着在嘴巴张开时,一些装置会导致部分患者下颌前突,而导致另一部分患者下颌后缩。本文报告了目前市场上已知装置的运动行为。为此,作者开发了一个下颌装置组合的运动学模型。该模型通过高分辨率摄像系统对所有分析的装置进行了验证。结果表明,本文分析的一些装置在患者嘴巴张开时并未产生正确的运动行为。
