“…Different MAD designs were employed; specifically, the Karwetzky appliance [31], the Klearway and Silencer MADs [45], the Herbst appliance [34], the RespiDent Butterfly MAD [43], the Bite raising device (BRA) [20], and an adjustable mandibular positioning appliance [40]. Two studies did not specify the employed MAD type [35,41].…”

“…The most common adverse effects were temporomandibular joint (TJM) pain (9/10 studies) [2,31,35e38,43e45]; excessive salivation (7/10 studies) [2,24e26,31e33,45]; sensitivity in muscles or teeth (7/10 studies) [2,35,38,39,43e45]; and dry mouth or throat (5/10 studies) [2,20,35,38,44]. Notably, five studies reported progressive diminution of these side effects during treatment [2,20,31,36,43].…”

“…In the majority of the studies in this review, the bedpartner was responsible for completing the VAS, surveys, or different questionnaires for evaluating the improvement or deterioration of snoring [54]. Moreover, many studies have considered the bedpartners' evaluation as the most relevant outcome [26,35]. A vast majority (86%) of bedpartners reported improved quality of sleep during MAD treatment [35].…”

“…The extent of undiagnosed OSA is about 5% of adults and 75% of obstructive sleep apnoea is left undiagnosed. (3) Wisconsin sleep cohort study, Young et al evaluated that obstructive sleep apnoea is a common disease in middle-aged individuals who were diagnosed by polysomnography. The prevalence of OSA varies significantly based on the population being studied and how OSA is defined.…”

“…The prevalence of OSA varies significantly based on the population being studied and how OSA is defined. The prevalence of OSA is reported to be around 2% for women and 4% for men, (3) whilst habitual snoring affects about 3% to 12% of the total world population. (4,5) The majority of patients who suffer from sleep apnoea are middle-aged men, though women and an increasing number of children are also affected by the disease.…”

BACKGROUNDObstructive sleep apnoea and hypopnoea syndrome is mainly due to repeated airway collapse during sleep. There are many aetiological factors associated with this disease. The main causative factor being reduced expansion of the pharyngeal muscles, anatomical structures associated and altered respiratory function, which has direct impact on air required for breathing, thereby leading to sleep disturbances. Other causes being macroglossia, tonsillar hypertrophy and structural skeletal disfigurement such as micrognathia and retrognathia. Obesity is one of the risk factors as the neck circumference narrows the airway space, thereby increasing difficulty in breathing, and snoring. This article reviews the diagnosis, treatment and epidemiology of obstructive sleep apnoea.

The following prospective study has the aim of evaluating the efficiency of the F22 MAD (mandibular advancement device), a new oral device for the treatment of OSAS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome) and snoring. Methods: AHI (apnea-hypopnea index), ODI (Oxygen Desaturation Index), snoring percentage, time spent in the supine position, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale score were evaluated in 19 patients with snoring, mild to moderate OSAS, or severe OSAS who declined CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) treatment, before and after the application of the F22 MAD. Results: The median value of AHI varied from 15.6 ± 10.7 to 5.7 ± 5.7; the median value of ODI varied from 13.4 ± 8.8 to 6.2 ± 5.2; the median value of the percentage of snoring varied from 30.7 ± 7 to 7.5 ± 10.8, except for the patient who has severe OSAS who increased their value. The value obtained by the self-completion of the ESS questionnaire (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) underwent a statistically significant variation, while clinically significant for 13\19 patients who obtained a reduction of the value >/= of 2 points. Conclusions: It is possible to conclude that the F22 MAD is effective in the treatment of patients with mild and moderate OSAS or simple snoring, reducing the polysomnographic outcomes with statistically and clinically significant results in terms of reduction of AHI, ODI and percentage of snoring.
