INTRODUCTION: A mandibular setback reduces space in the pharyngeal airway, and it has been suggested that it might induce @entity387 . OBJECTIVES: An evidence-based literature review was conducted to identify the effect of mandibular setback on the respiratory function during sleep. METHODS: The authors performed a systematic review of pertinent literature published up to 2014. A structured search of literature was performed, with predefined criteria. A survey of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane database was performed. A manual search of oral and maxillofacial surgery-related journals was accomplished. Potentially relevant studies then had their full-text publication reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 1,780 publications were evaluated, through which nine papers (seven case series and two case-control studies) were selected for the final review. No evidence of @entity25 after six months was related in 223 @entity1 . In one study, two @entity1 developed @entity27 after surgery, and in another two studies, seven @entity1 presented an increase of obstructive @entity386 / @entity387 events and @entity26 desaturation index. Most of the @entity1 analyzed were young and thin. CONCLUSION: There was no evidence of postoperative @entity387 after a mandibular setback surgery. However, one should always consider a potential reduction of the upper airway space during the treatment plan. @entity28 @entity1 and those submitted to large amounts of mandibular setbacks present a higher chance to develop @entity27 .
