Mandibular advancement device for obstructive sleep apnea: An overview
Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2015 This paper presents an overview of mandibular advancement device (MAD). The primary purpose of MAD is to move the mandible forwards relative to maxilla in ordered to widen the airway to prevent to closure.

Craniofacial morphology/phenotypes influence on mandibular range of movement in the design of a mandibular advancement device [PDF]
BMC Oral Health, 2021 Background The mandibular opening path movements have different directions according to the craniofacial morphology of the patient but always downward and backward, therefore increasing the collapse of the upper airway.

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.

The Emerging Role of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy in the Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2021 Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway. Continuous positive airway pressure is the first-line therapy for most patients, but adherence is often poor.
