Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An observational clinical trial in a single centre. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of mandibular advancement device (MAD) therapy on snoring intensity, frequency, and oxygen desaturation periods in mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients with snoring problems. Totally, 18 mild-moderate OSA patients (8 females and 10 males) with subjective snoring complaint were selected. Each patient's diagnostic polysomnographic analysis (PSG) was accepted as initial PSG values. Each patient was subjected simple pulse oximeter (SPO) and smartphone sleep application (SSA) at 3 different nights at home. Diagnostic mean values of oxygen desaturation index (obtained by using SPO), snoring intensity score (obtained by using SSA), and snoring percentage (obtained by using SSA) were recorded. Non-titratable-customized MAD with 60-75% of maximal mandibular protrusion were fabricated. The patients were instructed to wear their MAD every night. SPO and SSA measurement were repeated at the 1st, 4th, 12th, and 24th week of the treatment process. At the 24th week of treatment, The PSG were repeated and all PSG, SPO, and SSA values were compared with initial diagnostic values.

Mild-moderate OSA patients for MAD treatment

Patients are classified as mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) if they have between 5-15 Apnea-Hypopnea Index, moderate if they have between 15-30, and severe if they have \>30, as measured by Polysomnography (Epstein LJ, Kristo D, Strollo PJ, et al. 2009). The principal treatment methodology for OSA patients is positive airway pressure. In patients with mild to moderate OSA, oral appliances such as mandibular advancement devices (MAD) is alternately indicated (Ramar K, Dort LC, Katz SG, et al. 2015) The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (Ramar K, Dort LC, Katz SG, et al. 2015) recommended titratable-customized MADs for patient comfort and the ability to permit modifications in the amount of mandibular protrusion for treatment efficacy. However, Aarab et al (Aarab G, Lobbezoo F, Hamburger HL, Naeije M. 2010) demonstrated similar therapeutic efficiency of non-titratable-customized MADs in the treatment of OSA

Non-titratable-customized mandibular advancement device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The most comfortable protruded mandibular position situated between 60-75% of MMPV was determined according to patient response with 6mm of the vertical interocclusal dimension between maxillary and mandibular central incisors and registered. The upper and lower acrylic resin splints were secured to each other in the posterior region with auto polymerizing acrylic resin and NTC-MADs were obtained. The patients were instructed to wear their non-titratable-customized mandibular advancement device every night.
