Objective:
To analyse the curative effects of various treatment modalities for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Method:
52 cases of patients were divided into two groups according to the methods of treatment. In group 1, 29 cases only received uvuloplatopharygoplasty (UPPP). In group 2, 23 cases received multimodality treatments by various combinations of UPPP, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and the device of prosthetic dentitry.
Result:
The comparison between the short-term effects of two groups did not reveal statistically significant difference, but complications easily occurred in patients who did not receive CPAP before UPPP. The long-term effects of two groups were also compared, the difference was statistically significant.
Conclusion:
Multimodality treatment is an effective approach to improve the long-term effects of patients with OSAS.
