“…Most of the several types of removable oral appliances that have been proposed for the treatment of snoring and OSA belong to one of the following three main types of devices [6,7]: Mandibular Advancement Devices. These devices are snapped onto the upper dental arch [8] or the upper and the lower dental arches [9,10].…”

Background: Removable oral appliances are employed to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. In this review we summarize the current state of the art of this therapy. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the medical literature on the effectiveness, side effects and practical aspects of oral appliance therapy for sleep-disordered breathing. Results: Several randomized, controlled trials demonstrate the improvement of symptoms and sleep-related breathing disturbances in obstructive sleep apnea and snoring by oral appliances that advance the mandible. Side effects are common but usually transient and rarely severe. Conclusions: Mandibular advancement devices are a valuable treatment modality for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. Dental and medical examinations at regular intervals and polysomnographic follow-up are important during long-term treatment to avoid potential adverse effects and to assure continued effectiveness.

“…12,19,23,24,25 Authors have indicated that the advancement should be between 50% and 75% of maximum mandibular protrusion 2 since such repositioning would be within the measurements of a physiological mandibular protrusion. 22 Six patients had muscle pain and two patients (P6 and P15) presented with moderate pain, which prevented further advancement to 75% maximum protrusion, although the pain was controlled with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication.…”

Introduction: Among the sleep disorders reported by the American Academy of Sleep, the most common is obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), which is caused by difficulties in air passage and complete interruption of air flow in the airway. This syndrome is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in apneic individuals.Objective: It was the objective of this paper to evaluate a removable mandibular advancement device as it provides a noninvasive, straightforward treatment readily accepted by patients.Methods: In this study, 15 patients without temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and with excessive daytime sleepiness or snoring were evaluated. Data were collected by means of: Polysomnography before and after placement of an intraoral appliance, analysis of TMD signs and symptoms using a patient history questionnaire, muscle and TMJ palpation. Results:After treatment, the statistical analysis (t-test, and the "before and after" test) showed a mean reduction of 77.6% (p=0.001) in the apnea-hypopnea index, an increase in lowest oxyhemoglobin saturation (p=0.05), decrease in desaturation (p=0.05), decrease in micro-awakenings or EEG arousals (p=0.05) and highly significant improvement in daytime sleepiness (p=0.005), measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. No TMD appeared during the monitoring period. Conclusion:The oral device developed in this study was considered effective for mild to moderate OSAHS.
