Mandibular advancement device therapy in patients with epiglottic collapse
Sleep and Breathing, 2022Epiglottic collapse is a specific sleep-endoscopic finding that can prove challenging to treat in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Its effect on mandibular advancement devices (MAD) remains largely unknown. Therefore, this study assessed whether or not epiglottic collapse affects treatment outcome with MAD.Patients with diagnosed OSAD ...

A finite element analysis for evaluating mandibular advancement devices
Journal of Biomechanics, 2021Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a disorder characterised by complete or partial occlusion of the upper airway during sleep. Muscles relax during sleeping and collapse into the airway, closing the throat and prohibiting air flowing into the lungs. Different solutions have been adopted to manage the pathology to improve the life quality of affected ...

Mandibular Advancement Devices
2012Orthodontic and craniofacial abnormalities associated with pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are, despite their impact on public health, widely ignored: a narrow upper airway with maxillary constriction and/or some degree of mandibular retrusion is a common phenotype of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In such cases, children

Biomechanical effects of a mandibular advancement device on the temporomandibular joint
Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery, 2018Mandibular advancement devices are commonly used in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Designed to maintain the mandible in forced protrusion while being worn, mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are intended to increase the upper airway during sleep, thereby reducing OSA symptoms.

A Smart Mandibular Advancement Device for Intraoral Cardiorespiratory Monitoring
2020 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2020We propose a smart mandibular advancement device (MAD) that can monitor cardiorespiratory parameters intraorally. The device comprises a flexible hybrid wireless monitoring platform integrated with a MAD. This monitoring platform is based on acquiring the intraoral photoplethysmography (PPG) signals.

OSA in adults: Role of the mandibular advancement device (MAD)
l Orthodontie Française, 2019Mandibular advancement devices are an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure for patients with mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea/ hypopnea syndrome (OSA). Oral appliances advance the mandible and tongue, enlarge and stabilize the upper airways during sleep.

Mandibular advancement devices for snoring
Dental Nursing, 2007It is estimated that 40–50% of people snore. In the majority of cases the noise of snoring is caused by a ‘fluttering’ of the soft palate. Mandibular advancement devices, also known as mandibular advancement splints, reduce this activity and can be beneficial to the great numbers of individuals who suffer disrupted sleep. Fiona Grist explains.
