Long-term use of mandibular advancement splints for snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea: a questionnaire survey.
A mandibular advancement splint (MAS) may be an alternative treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, there is little subjective or objective information concerning long-term effectiveness, compliance and side effects. A retrospective questionnaire was used to survey these issues plus patient satisfaction and maintenance requirements in 166 patients who could have worn ...
متن کاملEffect of two types of mandibular advancement splints on snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea.
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) both seem at least to be associated with narrowing of the upper airway and sleep-induced loss of muscle-tone. Mandibular advancement splints (MAS) have been proposed as a relatively simple method to increase oro- and hypo-pharyngeal dimensions thereby increasing the size of the airway. However, data on their effectiveness are conflicting and there are ...
متن کاملSleep nasendoscopy: a diagnostic tool for predicting treatment success with mandibular advancement splints in obstructive sleep apnoea.
This prospective, cohort study evaluated the role of sleep nasendoscopy (SNE) with simultaneous mandibular protrusion in predicting successful mandibular advancement splint (MAS) therapy in subjects with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Nineteen OSA subjects diagnosed by overnight polysomnography were referred for MAS therapy, following SNE investigation. A Herbst MAS was fabricated for each sub...
متن کاملTitrated mandibular advancement versus positive airway pressure for sleep apnoea.
The aim of this study was to compare mandibular advancement device (MAd) therapy and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) after one-night polysomnographic (PSG) titration of both treatments. 59 OSAHS patients (apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI): 34+/-13 events x h(-1); Epworth scale: 10.6+/-4.5) were included in a crossover trial of 8 week...
متن کاملMandibular advancement and obstructive sleep apnoea: a method for determining effective mandibular protrusion.
The objectives of the study were to test the hypotheses that it is possible, during routine polysomnography (PSG), to prospectively identify favourable candidates for mandibular repositioning appliance (MRA) therapy in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and to accurately estimate an optimal protrusive distance at which to fabricate the MRA. A series of subjects underwent a remotely...
