Effects of incremental mandibular advancement on upper airways morphology and anatomical structures: a preliminary CT scan study on body donors

Scientific Reports
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a sleep-related chronic disorder affecting over one billion people worldwide. Mild to moderate OSA can be treated with a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD), but its effects on airway anatomy remain unclear.

Is treatment of Mandibular Advancement Device acceptable to snorers?

Indian Journal of Science and Technology, 2016
This study aimed to determine the effects of MAD on snoring by verifying the changes in indicators related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) after wearing a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) and to establish or confirm any correlation. Thirty-nine people diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea participated in this study. Apnea and Hypopnea Index (AHI),
