Mandibular Torus as a New Index of Success for Mandibular Advancement Devices
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 Background: In obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), treatment with mandibular advancement devices (MADs) reduces patients’ Apnoea–Hypopnoea index (AHI) scores and improves their sleepiness and quality of life. MADs are non-invasive alternatives for patients who cannot tolerate traditional continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.
