Abstract

Mandibular propulsion device is a non-surgical, mechanical means of treating sleep apnea. Left untreated, OSA can have serious consequences. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mandibular advancement orthoses in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). This was a systematic review including ten recent articles reporting on mandibular advancement orthosis and OSA.   The articles concerned described the efficacy of the mandibular orthosis in reducing nocturnal apneas and hypopneas. Despite its place as a second-line therapy in the face of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the mandibular orthosis can be complementary to CPAP.
