Facial appearance following surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
Goodday RG, Gregoire CE, General Dentistry, May 2008. Page 251-257.
Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a serious medical condition that is associated with numerous negative health side effects. The general dentist plays an invaluable role in identifying patients with this condition. Certain OSAS patients receive significant medical and social benefits from orthognathic surgery to advance the maxilla, mandible, and chin. Anterior positioning of the maxilla and mandible is not only highly successful for curing OSAS but also results in favorable facial esthetic changes.
The Need for Concomitant Bone Grafting During Maxillomandibular Advancement for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Goodday RG, Gregoire CE., JOMS. 2007 Sept; 65(9):42.
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a serious, potentially life-threatening medical condition with a wide range of deleterious health side effects. The benefits of Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) surgery to treat OSAS in selected patients are well recognized. Controversy exists regarding the need to perform a concomitant bone graft to ensure stability and good bone healing at the osteotomy site in MMA patients. This additional procedure increases surgical time, expense and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of post-operative mobility of the maxilla and or mandible in a group of patients undergoing MMA without concomitant bone graft for the treatment of OSAS.
The Effect of Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery on Controlled Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Use in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Goodday RG, Morrison AD, Gregoire CE., JOMS. 2005 Aug; 63(8): 48.
Conclusion:
In this OSAS patient population:
- Dissatisfaction with CPAP was a major factor in seeking MMA surgery.
- MMA surgery reduced the need for CPAP use post-operatively by 93%.

Recurrent Osseous choristoma involving the mandibular buccal vestibule: a case report
Gregoire C, Davis C, Bullock M, Steeves T. Recurrent Osseous choristoma involving the mandibular buccal vestibule: a case report. Int J Oral and Dent Health. 2015 April.
Abstract
This case report is the third ever reported of a recurrent intraoral osseous choristoma. The lesion had manifested twice in the left mandibular buccal vestibule of a 63-year-old Caucasian female.
The patient was treated with wide local excision on both occasions. We believe that the lesions may have arisen as a result of previous trauma, although the exact etiology of the lesions is unknown. Interestingly, the recurrent lesion contained satellite nodules of bone, which suggests that the osseous choristoma may recur yet again.
Management of Fractures of the Nasofrontal Complex
Morrison A, Gregoire C. OMFS Clinics V25. November 2013.
Abstract
Repair of fractures involving the nasofrontal region remains a mainstay of contemporary oral and maxillofacial surgery. This article discusses the epidemiology of these injuries, anatomy of the area, and management of these fractures with insight into potential complications. These include fractures of the frontal sinus, naso-orbital-ethmoidal region, root of the nose, and associated adjacent structures.
