UPPP stands for uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. It is a surgical procedure that reshapes tissues at the back of the throat, often involving the soft palate and uvula. It is most commonly used in the evaluation and treatment pathway for obstructive sleep apnea and problematic snoring. It is typically performed by an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeon rather than a dentist.
