Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in an Edentulous Patient

Mandibular advancement devices have been efficiently used for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by forward positioning of the tongue-mandible complex with a resultant increase in oropharyngeal volume. However, the literature on the treatment of edentulous patients is li...

Sumario:Mandibular advancement devices have been efficiently used for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by forward positioning of the tongue-mandible complex with a resultant increase in oropharyngeal volume. However, the literature on the treatment of edentulous patients is limited. This clinical report describes a clinical and laboratory method for the fabrication of a mandibular advancement device in a 75-year-old completely edentulous patient with mild OSA.
