Background: Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder associated with craniofacial morphology and dental arches. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between obstructive morphometry arches upper airways. Methods: Forty patients were enrolled in study, polysomnographic parameters evaluated hypopnea index (AHI) oxygen desaturation (ODI). Dental measurements taken from 3D models included anterior arch widths, posterior maxillary mandibular lengths, palatal...
The aim of this study was to evaluate position shifts during sleep patients with obstructive apnea (OSA) syndrome both and without the use a mandibular advancement device (MAD). In total, 73 adult Caucasian diagnosed confirmed by polysomnography were retrospectively enrolled. Inclusion criteria as follows: age >20 years, body mass index <34 kg/m2, polysomnographic diagnosis OSA, non-smoker, absence comorbidities at diagnosis, treatment MAD. Two monitoring performed: one time (T0) another...
Abstract Background The role of interdental widths and palatal morphology on the development obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not been well investigated in adult patients yet. aim this paper was to assess maxilla mandibular dental arches three-dimensional (3D) casts correlate these measurements with severity OSA. Methods Sixty-four (8 women 56 men, mean age 52.4) a diagnosis mild-to-moderate OSA were retrospectively enrolled. On each patient, home test 3D models collected. Apnea-hypopnea...
To evaluate the correlation between cephalometric skeletal parameters and Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAs) severity, in adult patients with OSAs.
Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by a reduced airflow through the upper airways during sleep. Two forms of obstructive are described: central form and form. The related to many factors, such as craniofacial morphology.To evaluate correlation between morphology cranial base, mandible maxilla, severity.Eighty-four patients, mean age 50.4 years old; 73 males 11 females with were enrolled in present study. Patients high body mass index comorbidities excluded. Lateral cephalograms...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate how features obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and degree mandibular advancement influence outcomes oral appliance therapy with a fully-customised device (MAD) in an adult population. A total 85 patients mild severe OSA were retrospectively selected. Polysomnography taken before treatment after 2 months overnight MAD. Treatment success defined as > 50% reduction Apnoea/Hypopnoea Index (AHI) residual AHI < 10. Binary logistic regression used effects...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a number of cardiovascular comorbidities, including hypertension, heart rate (HR) alterations, cardiac arrhythmias, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. HR, in particular, an important sign correlated stress survival. Previous investigations on the effects mandibular advancement device (MAD) therapy HR resulted contradictory findings. The aim present retrospective cohort study was to evaluate MAD fully customizable appliance...
The Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is actually recommended for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) with mild or moderate severity. present study evaluated effects a fully customizable MAD-type device (It Makes You Sleep, IMYS), in patients moderate-to-severe OSA.Twenty-nine (15 men and 14 women; mean age 62, SD ±10 years) were retrospectively enrolled. Home Testing ;(HSAT) was performed all at baseline (T0) after three months (T1) IMYS therapy. analyzed respiratory parameters...
The aim of the present cohort study was to evaluate possible occurrence central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with obstructive (OSA) after treatment a mandibular advancement device (MAD). In this case, 56 OSA treated MAD were enrolled. Inclusion criteria age over 20 years, body mass index (BMI) less than 34 kg/m2, diagnosis confirmed by polysomnography (PSG), and therapy for OSA. Exclusion smoking, medications neurological disorders or history cervical head injury, comorbidities...
Objectives. To present a new short self-test, called the OSA wellness scale (OWS), for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) changes in obstructive apnea syndrome (OSA) patients treated with mandibular advancement device (MAD). Methods. 51 (8 women and 43 men, mean age 52.3) fully customizable MAD (Protrusor) were retrospectively enrolled. Each patient received home sleep testing (HSAT) at baseline (T0) after three months treatment (T1). Two self-test evaluations, Epworth...
