| Abstract | Objective: To evaluate the effects of a mandibular advancement device on apneas and sleep in mild, moderate, and severe obstructive sleep apnea. Design: Prospective study. Subjects: Forty-four of 47 patients included. Intervention: Individually adjusted mandibular advancement devices. Measurements: Polysomnographic sleep recordings for 1 night without the device and 1 night with it, with a median of 1 day and no changes in weight, medication, or sleep position between the recordings. Results: The device reduced the median obstructive apnea-hypopnea index from 11 (range, 7 to 19) to 5 (range, 0 to 17) (p<0.001) in 21 patients with mild sleep apnea, from 27 (range, 20 to 38) to 7 (range, 1 to 19) (p<0.001) in 15 patients with moderate sleep apnea, and from 53 (range, 44 to 66) to 14 (range, 2 to 32) (p<0.05) in 8 patients with severe sleep apnea. The arousal index decreased and the sleep stage patterns improved in all severity groups. Twenty-eight of 44 patients were successfully treated with an obstructive apnea-hypopnea index of below 10 and a subjective reduction in snoring. Nine of 16 patients with treatment failure still reported a |
