Oral appliance treatment for obstructive sleep apnea: An update
Kate Sutherland,Olivier M. Vanderveken,Hiroko Tsuda,Marie Marklund,Frédéric Gagnadoux,Clete A. Kushida,Peter A. Cistulli +6 more
TL;DR: There is robust evidence of the efficacy of oral appliances for improving polysomnographic indices and modifying the health risk associated with OSA, and the current evidence suggests a similar impact on health outcomes as CPAP.

The Combination of Atomoxetine and Oxybutynin Greatly Reduces Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity. A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-Blind Crossover Trial
Luigi Taranto-Montemurro,Ludovico Messineo,Ludovico Messineo,Scott A. Sands,Ali Azarbarzin,Melania Marques,Melania Marques,Bradley A. Edwards,Danny J. Eckert,David P. White,Andrew Wellman +10 more
TL;DR: A combination of noradrenergic and antimuscarinic agents administered orally before bedtime on 1 night greatly reduced OSA severity and genioglossus responsiveness, and open new possibilities for the pharmacologic treatment of OSA.

Oral Appliance Treatment Response and Polysomnographic Phenotypes of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Kate Sutherland,Hisashi Takaya,Jin Qian,Peter Petocz,Andrew T Ng,Peter A. Cistulli,Peter A. Cistulli +6 more
TL;DR: In a large sample, a large cohort of MAS treated patients confirm that demographic, anthropometric, and polysomnographic data only weakly inform about MAS efficacy, supporting the need for alternative objective prediction methods to reliably select patients for MAS treatment.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Review of the literature.
Eva Azagra-Calero,Eduardo Espinar-Escalona,José-María Barrera-Mora,José-María Llamas-Carreras,Enrique Solano-Reina +4 more
TL;DR: The main cause is a reduction of the expansion forces of the pharyngeal dilator muscles, as in situations of genioglossal muscle dysfunction, and discoordination between the inspiratory activity of the muscle and respiratory effort, which play an important role in progression of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term oral appliance therapy in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: a controlled study on dental side effects
Michiel H. J. Doff,K. J. Finnema,Aarnoud Hoekema,Peter J. Wijkstra,L.G.M. de Bont,Boudewijn Stegenga +5 more
TL;DR: Long-term use of an oral appliance resulted in small but significant dental changes compared with CPAP, and there is a risk of dental side effects to occur.

TL;DR: Comparison of the risk and benefit of oral appliance therapy with the other available treatments suggests that oral appliances present a useful alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), especially for patients with simple snoring and patients with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.

The mechanism of Class II correction in Herbst appliance treatment. A cephalometric investigation.
TL;DR: Bite jumping with the Herbst appliance resulted in Class 1 occlusal relationships in all treated cases and a direct relationship existed between the amount of bite jumping at the start of treatment and the treatment effects on the occlusion and on mandibular growth.

Risk Factors for Sleep Bruxism in the General Population
TL;DR: Among the associated risk factors, patients with anxiety and sleep-disordered breathing have a higher number of risk factors for sleep bruxism, and this must raise concerns about the future of these individuals.
