Four-year outcomes of palatal implants for primary snoring treatment: a prospective longitudinal study.


Abstract

Soft palate implantation is a possible surgical technique with which to attempt to achieve subjective improvement of primary snoring severity.

Subjective improvement, however, deteriorates significantly over time, and is only minimally sustained at 4 years postoperatively.

This study provides new information on long-term palatal implant effectiveness.
