Abstract The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to analyze dental and skeletal side effects after 4 years of treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients with a mandibular advancement device (MAD) compared with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). With the appliance in position, the mandible was advanced 50% of maximum protrusion capacity (ie, 4-6 mm); the vertical opening between the incisal edges was, on average, 3 mm. Thirty patients in the MAD group and 37 in the UPPP group completed the 4-year follow-up. There were no differences between the MAD and the UPPP groups in any of the dental or skeletal variables measured after the 4-year treatment period. In the MAD group, small but statistically significant changes were found: there was a posterior rotation of the mandible (mandibular line [ML]/nasion-sella line [NSL]) (mean 0.5 degrees [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.1-0.8 degrees ]). Correlated to the posterior rotation of the mandible, the distances incision superius ML, incision superius-NSL, and incision inferius-NSL increased by means (95% CI) of 0.7 (0.5-1.2), 0.8 (0.4-1.1), and 1.3 (0.8-1.8) mm, respectively. Overjet and overbite did not change significantly, nor was there a significant change in the mandibular length. The observed changes were considered clinically insignificant because overbite and overjet stayed within normal limits. Only the vertical position of the maxillary incisors in relation to ML changed to the extent that the 95% CI of the mean for the change was outside that of the mean of the change in the UPPP group and measurement error. Treatment of OSA with a dental appliance is probably a lifelong process, and long-term follow-up studies should therefore be undertaken to control both the treatment effect on OSA and the side effects on the masticatory system.

Abstract De laatste jaren zijn verschillende dentale hulpmiddelen aanbevolen voor de behandeling van slaapapneu. In dit onderzoek worden de resultaten met een bepaald type prothese, de zogenaamde "SnorEx", beschreven. Deze is ontworpen om de bovenste luchtwegobstructies tijdens de slaap te verminderen door het voorwaarts trekken van de tong door middel van een "lepel" geplaatst op de basis van de tong.

Abstract Continuous positive airway pressure has been the traditional method used to treat SDB in patients with CHF, but compliance and tolerability are poor. A mandibular advancement device (MAD) is a dental device recommended for the treatment of sleep apnoea, but the method has never been evaluated in patients with CHF. The aims of the present studies were to evaluate the practical use of the MAD for the treatment of SDB in patients with CHF and to test the hypothesis that this intervention increases the dimensions of the pharyngeal airway (PAW), reduces SDB and BNP, and improves LVEF and the quality of life. Patients with mild to moderate CHF and SDB were evaluated using a portable polysomnographic device, lateral radiographs, cardiological and odontological examinations, and quality of life measures prior to and following intervention with an custom-made MAD.
Conclusion: Because the treatment of SDB is important in the management of CHF, the MAD intervention seems to be a valuable method in the treatment arsenal of SDB.
