Predictors of disease alleviation with mandibular advancement devices in obstructive sleep apnea: a retrospective cohort study
Disease alleviation with MAD in adult OSA-patients can be predicted with specific poly(somno)graphic parameters (especially baseline-AHI), whereas cephalometric variables appeared inappropriate. Still, lateral cephalograms are helpful in the diagnostics and follow-up of MAD-treatment, e.g. for evaluating side effects. Providing good patient selection, therapeutic success can be achieved in both severe and mild to moderate OSA.
