Abstract:
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.
