morphology, the oral oor, and their relationship with the bone structure is possible. In addition, Dynamic sleep MRI can reliably characterize the actual site of dynamic airway obstruction and has the potential of improving predictions of successful sur­gical outcomes in OSA patients [14, 15].

12.3 Oral Appliances
Oral appliances have been described as an efcacious treatment for OSA.In a paper called “Dening an Effective Intraoral Device for the Treatment of Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: 2019in the Journal or Dental Sleep Medicine Update,” ve major changes were made concerning the effectiveness of the intraoral device. These changes focused on the physical characteristics and functions of an oral appliance (OA)
1. An Oral Appliance must be made of materials that meet the physical needs of
patients.
An OA must be made of biocompatible materials to be considered safe for patient use [16]. In addition, the materials must be suitable for the oral structure and physical needs of an individual patient. For example, such physical needs may include the need for nonmetallic materials for those with metal hypersensitivity.
Approximately 10%–15% of the population is hypersensitive to metals [17]. Therefore, alternative, biocompatible materials should be used when fabricating intraoral devices for such patients. OA materials that were previously fabricated with metal can now be made with other materials. For example, the connecting mechanisms in Bibloc devices can be made of elastics, plastics, or even mag­nets [18].
2. A custom-fabricated (customized) Oral Appliance may include a prefabricated component.
Current evidence indicates that custom-made oral appliances are superior to prefabricated devices [1924]. In addition, custom-made appliances have been associated with patient comfort and treatment adherence [25] as well as reduced apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), improved daytime sleepiness, improved endothe­lial function, and increased muscle activity [2535].
3. The Oral Appliance (OA) mechanism is not limited to xed mechanical hinges or
metallic materials.
OA designs now feature connection mechanisms that are nonmetallic, for those who suffer from hypersensitivity to metals.
As technology has progressed, several hingeless devices have been shown to be effective in treating OSA.However, there is still some controversy as some studies show improvements in AHI by protruding the mandible using elastics connected to Adams clasps [36]. Another study of OA’s with elastic bands (to control mouth opening) compared to the same appliance without bands found no signicant difference in AHI after use [37].

Other appliances (Bibloc) that are connected and tted using nonmetallic exible rods have been associated with signicant improvements in OSA symp­toms. In one study, 76% of patients were effectively treated with this device (AHI decrease 50%), and 64% achieved a complete response to treatment [30]. Another study with this OA showed that 56% of patients using the device achieved a response to treatment [38].
In other studies, devices using ball clasps to protrude the mandible signi­cantly reduced AHI.These studies found that 57% of patients achieve an AHI <10 per hour and 31% an AHI <5 per hour. Overall, they concluded that the devices were successful in treating OSA in 58% of patients, excessive daytime sleepiness in 56% and snoring in 76% [31]. Therefore, connecting mechanisms other than xed mechanical hinges can effectively treat snoring and OSA.
4. An oral appliance must prevent dislodgement An effective OA must have retention in one or both arches [6, 39]. Lack of
adequate stability of the oral appliance can lead to worse outcomes. For exam­ple, it has been suggested that the Monobloc may be less effective than Bibloc devices due to poor stability (among other factors) [40]. Therefore, the OA must have good tooth retention and prevent dislodgement.
5. Life of an oral appliance
The original denition included a clause stating that an effective intraoral device must “maintain its structural integrity for a minimum of 3years.” In this update (JDSM 2019), it was determined that there was very little evidence outside of the AADSM denition that a device should last at least 3years to be effective. Therefore, this aspect was removed from the denition.

12.3.1 Types ofOral Appliances
Currently, there are a many Oral Appliances (OA) designs available on the market. These Oral Appliances vary in attachment design, mode of fabrication and activa­tion, titration capability, degree of vertical opening, and jaw laterality movements.
They also can be of a one-piece (Monobloc) or two-piece (Bibloc) design, either custom-made or prefabricated [41, 42]. Thermoplastic OA (boil & bite) has been proposed as a temporary device to be used while repairing a permanent OA, or a patient’s waiting time is not enough to fabricate a permanent one [43]. It has the advantage of a feasible a low cost [44, 45].
A dentist with training in Dental Sleep Medicine should be the only one to pro­vide OA therapy. The critical treatment approach includes coordination and com­munication (in writing) with the referring physician regarding the treatment plan and long-term follow-up.

12.3.2 Monobloc
These are OA (Fig.12.5) composed of a single body and span both arches, mostly nonadjustable. It has been recommended that the dental pieces are totally or par­tially encapsulated inside the device to avoid dental overeruption or any other movement.
12.3.3 Bibloc
They are OA composed of two bodies (upper and lower arch) that interact with each other through different types of connectors. They are adjustable (depending on the connector type), making it possible for the dentist to have complete control of the protrusion during treatment. There are several designs worldwide; some examples of those are Somnomed Avant®, Telescopic/Herbst (Fig. 12.6), Elastic Device/ EMA, Dorsal Fin (Fig.12.7), OrthoApnea Classic® (Fig.12.8), and the DreamTAP® (Fig.12.9).

12.3.8 Thermoplastics (Boil andBite)
These are prefabricated devices (Fig.12.10) that are not custom-made, and their durability is not predictable. Instead, adaptation is made directly at the moment, either in the ofce or by the patient at home.
There are both monobloc and bibloc, adjustable, and nonadjustable.
There are also the tongue retainer devices (Fig.12.11) among these intraoral devices, which are an alternative for those partially or edentulous patients. All of them are prefabricated, and the most common design is the one shown below:
Finally, emphasize that technological and innovative advances in Intraoral Devices have occurred in recent years by elaborating them using 3D Printing and CAD-CAM technology such as OrthoApnea NOA® (Fig.12.12) and ProSomnus® (Fig.12.13). At the same time, more and more markers or “chips” are being incor­porated into the devices, where we can receive information about the three­dimensional position, time of use, patient’s temperature, etc.

12.3.11 Effectiveness ofanOral Appliance
An Intraoral Device aims to treat obstructive sleep apnea, primary snoring, and associated symptoms. Historically, the most frequently measured outcomes in ther­apeutic efcacy and effectiveness of OSA treatment have been the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) to measure the severity of OSA and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) to assess daytime sleepiness. However, as OA research has matured, the results have expanded to include the effect on cardiovascular function, neurocogni­tive behavior, and quality of life.
12.3.12 Improvements in Respiratory Variables and
Daytime Sleepiness
The efcacy and effectiveness of Oral Appliances therapy have been conrmed by several high-quality studies, including randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses [38, 4660]. Through nocturnal polysomnography (PSG), these studies have validated the usefulness of MA (mandibular advance­ment) in decreasing the frequency and/or duration of Apneas, Hypopneas RERAS and/or snoring, as well as in improving nocturnal oxygenation. As a measure of daytime sleepiness, the ESS score has normalized or improved by 2–4 points [54].
In one of the rst reports of a study conducted comparing pre- and postpolysom­nographic recordings using Oral Appliances Yoshida demonstrated that posttreat­ment AHI was signicantly reduced by more than 50% from pretreatment values [61]. Polysomnographic parameters did not normalize, but these ndings showed that intraoral device therapy can improve sleep-disordered breathing signicantly.
Subsequently, Marklund reported that in 72% of patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, AHI was reduced to <10. In the severe group, AHI signi­cantly improved from a mean of 53 to 14 [62]. Other reports corroborated these early ndings and demonstrated longitudinal stability of improvement in sleep parameters with OA [6369].
In perhaps the most extensive study to date, Holley and colleagues described the results of their retrospective study in a sample of 497 OSA patients with all levels of disease severity, all treated with Oral Appliance therapy [70]. OA therapy reduced mean AHI from 30.0 to 8.4, and ESS was signicantly improved. In addition, there is a comparison of PSG parameters between OA therapy and CPAP therapy of the 397 subjects. OA therapy demonstrated equivalent efcacy relative to CPAP in the mild subjects (p=0.15), where treatment successfully reduced AHI <5in 76% of the CPAP and 62% of the oral appliance group. In the moderate and severe groups, CPAP was more effective than OA in reducing AHI <5 (71% vs. 51% in the moder­ate group and 63% vs. 40% in the severe group). However, when comparing the

magnitude of reduction in AHI between treatments, the decrease in AHI was signi­cant only for the severe group, where CPAP decreased AHI by an additional 5.9 events/h (p<0.001). The amount of reduction in AHI by both treatments in the mild and moderate groups differed by less than 2 events/h and was not statistically signicant.

12.3.13 Effect onCardiovascular Function
There was an improvement in High blood pressure [7177] and cardiovascular func­tion [78, 79] in addition to respiratory and daytime sleepiness improvements. The effect of OA therapy on hypertension has been summarized in Iftikhar’s systematic review and meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled observational studies [74].
A reduction of approximately 2mm in systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pres­sure was reported among the 399 pooled participants who met the inclusion criteria for these studies. In another study, an evaluation of the impact of OA therapy on blood pressure revealed a signicant improvement in overnight diastolic blood pres­sure compared to CPAP [72]. In addition, Lam studied the effect of OA therapy on blood pressure and found a signicant improvement in systolic blood pressure maintained after 1year of follow-up [75]. Gotsopoulos demonstrated a reduction in 24-h mean diastolic blood pressure in patients with AHI>10 and concluded that these ndings mirrored those found with CPAP [58]. Otsuka reported a signicant reduction in mean arterial pressure and diastolic blood pressure during monitoring over a 20-h period, and signicant reductions in systolic, diastolic, and mean arte­rial pressure during sleep [76].
12.3.13.1 Impact onQuality ofLife andNeurocognitive Behavior
The overall quality of life [71, 8086] and neurobehavioral outcomes [73, 80, 81,
85, 87] have improved with OA therapy. Walker-Engstrom examined three dimen-
sions of quality of life (vitality, satisfaction, and sleep quality) in randomized sub­jects between patients with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty or intraoral device therapy [86]. One year after the intervention, both treatment groups demonstrated signi­cant improvements in all three dimensions of quality of life. Levendowski etal. studied quality of life in patients who underwent OA therapy after failing CPAP therapy [81]. They found statistically signicant reductions in sleepiness (76% of subjects) and depression (73% of subjects), as well as improvements in the disease­specic quality of life index (60% of subjects).
In addition, Saletu designed a study to examine respiratory variables and differ­ent outcomes of OA therapy in a group of patients with all levels of disease [85]. Active and inactive oral appliances were used to compare the effects on morning mood, subjective impression of sleep quality, and cognitive and psychophysiologi­cal performance. All respiratory variables improved in the active OA group com­pared to the sham appliance group. In addition, subjects demonstrated a signicant benet in sleep quality, morning cognitive performance, ne motor activity, and reaction time.

12.3.14 Potential forImproved CPAP Adherence
Finally, Oral Appliances may offer improvements in CPAP efcacy. Using phrenic nerve stimulation to assess the dynamic properties of the upper airway, Borel etal. established that continuous use of CPAP (nasal mask) in conjunction with an OA reduces velopharyngeal resistance to a greater extent than using CPAP alone [83]. When OA’s were used with nasal CPAP, peak ow velocity was signicantly improved. Take for example: MyTAP PAP® (Fig.12.14).

The simultaneous use of OA therapy with CPAP is a relatively new concept in den­tal sleep medicine. While preliminary studies are promising, further research is war­ranted to validate the improved effectiveness.
12.4 Dental Side Effects ofOral Appliances (Mandibular
Advance Devices Mad)
Mandibular advancement devices aim to advance and stabilize the mandibular dur­ing sleep, allowing the passage of air through the upper airway without obstruction. This forward position of the lower jaw can cause discomfort with pressure and sometimes pain in the muscle, the joint and, the teeth. Extreme circumstances can lead to the failure of the therapy.
Managing side effects depends on the dentist clinical expertise and sensibility to identify and establish the best approach.
Oral appliances are attached to the teeth, and therefore, this therapy is highly dependent on a healthy dentition [88, 89].
The clinical relevance of dental occlusal side effects is strictly related to the baseline dental occlusion [90].
