Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in the structural bone ratio, dental and craniofacial soft tissue structures, assessed by conical beam computed tomography exam with an increase of at least 5% in craniometric dimensions. Data collected 1 week before the intervention and 1 weeks after the end of the intervention.;Volumetric increase of the upper airway space, verified through tomographic evaluation after multiplanar reconstruction, from the observation of a variation of at least 10% in the pre and post-intervention measurements.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are not expected.;Secondary outcomes are not expected.
