The comparison of two different mandibular positions for oral appliance therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Clinical and Experimental Dental Research"
DOI: 10.1002/cre2.650
Abstract: An oral appliance (OA) can alleviate upper airway obstruction by pulling the mandible forward during sleep. While a large mandibular advancement with an OA decreases the number of apnea and hypopnea events, long‐term use may… read more here.
