Brief Summary

During sleep, the muscle tonus in the oropharyngeal space is lost, the tongue might fall back andthe volume of the pharynx decreases. Air cannot pass through as it would in the awake state and thus airflow limitations occur. The person asleep might compensate the flow limitation by breathing faster, which causes the soft tissue to vibrate (= snoring). Further narrowing of the airways can lead to obstructive apneas (complete airway collapse and stopping of airflow). First line therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is positive airway pressure (PAP) that keeps the airways open with a pneumatic splint. Since PAP involves wearing a facial mask that applies air pressure into the airways, some patients cannot tolerate this therapy. These patients might be candidates for an alternative treatment approach with a mandibular advancement device (MAD).

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Eligible for recruitment are male and female patients of ≥ 18 years who have been diagnosed with OSA and who are not eligible for PAP treatment (no tolerance of PAP therapy, therapy refusal for any reason). Patients who have been prescribed an MAD as treatment for OSA. Patients will be followed in their clinical routine treatment pathway.

You may qualify if:

  • Prescription of any mandibular advancement device
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Ability to understand the study information and information on usage of personal data
  • Signed and dated informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with central sleep apnea (central AI \> 5/hour)
  • Patients with loose teeth and severe parodontitis
  • Patients with completely missing teeth or removable tooth replacement, or with a teeth health insufficient to retain an MAD Patients with missing molars Patients with maximum protrusion of less than 5mm
