12 Dentistry inObstructive Sleep Apnea
https://t.me/medicina_free
Dental side effects can be clinically minor, but the dentist should be experienced in dental sleep medicine to inform the patients and to deal with these events. Side effects may worsen with time and patients need to be monitored over time [90].

12.4.1 The Device’s Force
Forces will arise on the teeth during appliance use, and there is a risk for bite changes [88].
Device design will also inuence the risk of bite changes. For example, one study describes that a device attached mainly to the front teeth will produce a faster and more signicant change in dental occlusion than a device connected to the whole dentition.
The advanced position of the jaw during the night will create forces on the teeth, and patients can experience some discomfort, temporary bite change with the loss of occlusal contact some hours after taking off the device [89, 91].
A study showed that device materials have no inuence in centric occlusion and centric relation and no differences were found during the follow-up [92]. However, side effects were more pronounced in patients using hard acrylic devices and soft elastomeric devices with a large mandibular protrusion [92].
Some factors, such as a high percentage of advancement and poor oral health conditions (poor periodontal disease, insufcient bone support) and noncustom­made or nonadjustable devices, can lead to increased risk for negative impact and produce changes [91, 92].
The occlusal and structural changes registered are a consequence of the joint forces elicited by the MAD on masticatory muscles, which tend to bring the man­dible back to its original position, discharging the tension on the teeth [90].
12.4.2 Short-Term Side Effects
OSA treatment with a mandibular advancement device can lead to side effects that are short-term and reversible in most cases.
Patients can experience bite changes in the early morning after a night using a MAD, but the occlusion comes normal during the day [92]. Subjective side effects are common, and the most frequently include temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, myofascial pain, tooth pain, TMJ sounds, gum irritation, and morning-after occlusal changes [89, 91, 93].
Also, dry mouth and excessive salivation can occur at the beginning of the treat­ment [6, 91, 93].
With high vertical dimension and advancement, a MAD creates more muscular and joint discomfort [91].
Puttin etal., in their study, examined the temporomandibular joints and revealed noises in 9 of the 106 patients (8%) who did not have joint noises before treatment. There wasn’t a decrease in mouth opening. However, an increase was found in 30 (28%).

12.4.3 Long-Term Side Effects
With time only tooth movement and bite changes are more prevalent and can lead to discontinuation of treatment [91].
The overjet, i.e., the horizontal distance between the upper and lower front teeth, will decrease. Patients may lose antagonistic contact between the molar teeth, although there might be variability between patients [88, 91].
The initial type of bite is associated with the degree of bite changes. Patients with a deep bite, i.e., a signicant vertical overlap between the front teeth, may be pro­tected from overjet changes [88]. Those with normal bites or Angle Class III, i.e., lower front teeth located anterior to the upper front teeth, seem to be more at risk for negative bite changes [88, 91, 93].
Patients with Angle Class II, i.e., lower front teeth much posteriorly located from the upper front, might receive positive orthodontic effects of oral appliance treat­ment [88, 91, 93].
A study stressed the signicant correlation between the duration of the therapy and the decrease of overjet, overbite, and U1 inclination, and increase of L1 inclina­tion [90]. During a period between 2 and 11years of therapy, there is a decrease in overjet from about 0.2 to 2.0mm and a decrease in overbite from about 0.6 to
2.3mm [90].
12.4.4 Changes inDental Occlusion
The bite changes are noticed early during the rst years of treatment and will gradu­ally continue [88].
Although most patients are unaware of bite changes, the changed dental occlu­sion might inuence the device’s efcacy. For example, the advancement of the mandible by the device might diminish if the device is left unadjusted in patients with more considerable bite changes [88].
Some patients could also have skeletal changes by advancing the mandible [88,
91, 93]. After 5years of MAD treatment, patients can experience less overbite and
overjet, and also the mesial relationship of the lower molar [88, 91].
One-third of patients report posterior open bite after 1 or 2years of treatment. Loss of interproximal contact is usually reported in the cases of attachments to increase retention of the device, leading to food impaction [91].
Also, the posterior teeth can change with the distal tip of the upper molars and the mesial tip of lower molars [88, 91].
Some studies describe the yearly migration of central incisors and jawbones, and patients’ lower central incisors were signicantly tilted forward [94].
Pantin etal., in their study, reveal that the proportion of patients with occlusal change increased with the use of the mandibular advancement splint for up to 2years. Beyond 2years, the ratio remained relatively constant.
Consequently, bite changes do not necessarily need to be considered disadvanta­geous to a particular dentition, and, indeed, some patients could benet [88].

Changes occur in occlusion during snoring and obstructive sleep apnea treatment with MAD, especially in patients with protrusion below 6mm. Although a follow­ up after 2 years is recommended as individual patients may experience marked orthodontic side effects [92].
Same studies refer that occlusal changes were managed conservatively, using temporary cessation or reduction in the use of the device and remedial exercises each morning following its removal. With exercises, the occlusal changes resolve within 2weeks of treatment cessation in most cases [95].
Patin etal. [95] found a satisfactory response of most patients to exercises, either to treat occlusal change or subsequently as a prophylactic measure, which suggests that these problems develop because of a failure to reposition the mandible during the day following use rather than as the result of immutable changes in occlusion caused by the device overnight.

12.5 Side Effects Related totheUse ofMandibular
Advancement Devices
(Device selection to prevent dental side effects)
The dental effects attributable to the prolonged use of oral devices for the treat­ment of obstructive sleep apnea have long been investigated in the literature. Occlusal modications are found in 86.7% of patients [96]. The authors agree to observe a reduction of overjet and overbite over time (1.5mm in 7years), and loss of dental contacts in the posterior region. Maxillary incisors palatal tipping and mandibular incisor labial tipping were also observed [97].
A recent study analyzed the effects on periodontal ligaments and tooth surfaces during the use of 4 different oral devices. The analysis was carried out using the Finite Element Method (FEM). It was developed in synergy between the dental department of the Università degli Studi di Padova (Italy) and the department of industrial engineering of the Università Politecnica delle Marche (Italy) [98, 99].
The Finite Element Method is an instrument that simplies a complex physical object into many simple elements and analyzes these stresses and deformations in response to different conditions. FEM has been used in numerous medical and den­tal studies.
A 3D model of the skull of a 29-year-old patient was created from the Cone Beam CT and Magnetic Resonance. After creating a 3D model of the skull of a 29-year-old patient was based on his Cone Beam CT and Magnetic Resonance images. After scanning with a laser probe, four different digital models of Mandibular Advancement Devices were coupled (Fig.12.15).
These MADs were chosen among the most used for OSA therapy and had differ­ent advancement mechanisms. (1) OrthoApnea Classic® consists of two splints con­nected by a reverse connecting anterior rod screw; (2) Somnodent Flex® (Dorsal Fin) has two advancement screws placed bilaterally on the upper splint that inter­face with the ns of the lower part. (3) Also, chose a Herbst-type device with tele­scopic sidearms. (4) Somnodent Avant®, which connects the two splints using a

nylon string that hooks anteriorly in a lane placed on the upper splint and in two pins at the level of the mandibular molars.
Periodontal ligaments were modeled by offsetting each tooth root surface of
0.3mm to ll the space between each tooth and the alveolar socket [100, 101].
A force of 11.18N was applied to the MAD on the connection points of the splints; equivalent to a device advancement of 9.5mm [102, 103].
OrthoApnea Classic® generated stress with a maximum value of 4.26kPa on the periodontal ligaments and 600kPa on the tooth surfaces; that affected the teeth of the upper and lower anterior sector (Fig.12.16).
The Herbst-type device created a maximum of stress corresponding to 3.56kPa on the ligaments and 302kPa on the dental surfaces; the stress, in this case, was distributed more homogeneously, with prevalence in the lateral sectors (Fig.12.17).

Aleta Dorsal/Somnodent Flex® exhibited very similar behavior, presenting the absolute least lower stresses (maximum values of 3.27kPa on the ligaments and 287kPa on the teeth) that concentrated on the lateral sectors (Fig.12.18).
Somnodent Avant® is the device that presented the most signicant stresses with intermediate distribution between OrthoApnea Classic® and devices with bilateral propulsion mechanisms. The maximum stress values were 4.53kPa on the peri­odontal ligaments and 467 kPa on the tooth surfaces; the stress distribution was prevalent on the lower molars and in the upper anterior sector (Fig.12.19).

The study also analyzed the deformations to which the teeth are subject during the use of MAD, using vectors that indicate the direction of movement and the value expressed in millimeters. The model showed a right-side view, but the left side is considered symmetrical. The forces tend to move the upper jaw teeth downward and backward when considering the anterior teeth in all four devices. Conversely, the deformations of the posterior teeth were directed backward and upward. Regarding the lower arch teeth, there is a displacement oriented forward.
The images obtained do not reproduce the exact advancement of the devices but are examples of the tooth movement that derives from the activation forces of the MAD (Fig.12.20).

The devices that generate the most signicant displacements were OrthoApnea Classic® and Somnodent Avant®. The deformity mainly concentrated at the inci­sal level.
According to the authors, the different distribution of tensions was explained by the various operating mechanisms: OrthoApnea Classic® uses a reverse front con­necting rod that enhanced stress. Herbst and Somnodent Flex® exploit a bilateral propulsion mechanism despite being of different designs (telescopic arm for Herbst and advance screw for Somnodent Flex®). This explained the lateral stress distribu­tion at the points of application of the propulsion forces. Somnodent Avant® has an intermediate behavior between OrthoApnea Classic® and Herbst/Somnodent Flex®: its propulsion mechanism is based on a string that connects from the molar portion of the lower splint to the anterior part of the upper splint; in this case, the forces are concentrated in the areas on which the feed mechanism acts. Since there is a single pin on which the string is anchored below, the point stress values are the greatest ever; in general, however, it can be assumed to be intermediate between an anterior activation device such as OrthoApnea Classic® and bilateral propulsion devices.
OrthoApnea Classic® and Somnodent Avant® are the devices that generate more stress at the anterior level: this derives from the fact that the splints are connected, unlike Somnodent Flex® which has two independent portions and generates the absolute lowest stresses.
The results of the analysis are in agreement with a previous study that compared the differences between Somnodent Flex® and TAP®, which is a device with a com­pletely similar design to OrthoApnea Classic®: it is reported that TAP® generates more signicant occlusal changes, in response, therefore, to higher stress, compared to Somnodent [104].
The clinician needs to consider the effects that MAD cause at the periodontal level, choosing the device that best suits the individual patient.
To summarize, devices with activation with an anterior connecting rod generate more concentrated and quantitatively signicant stresses in the anterior areas of the teeth. In contrast, devices with lateral activation cause less intense and more distrib­uted stress.

12.6 The Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea
andTemporomandibular Disorders
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a heterogeneous group of musculoskel­etal disorders in the masticatory system that represents chronic orofacial pain’s most common cause. Prevalence of TMDs has been estimated between 5% and 12%, with higher rates among women [104, 105].
Different biomechanical, neurobiological, neuromuscular, and biopsychosocial factors may contribute to the presence of TMD.The main risk factors include age, genetic factors, sex, stress, anxiety, malocclusion, poor posture, rheumatoid or other systemic arthritis, and breathing sleep-related disorders. TMD develops at a mark­edly higher rate in individuals with relatively poorer health status, in conjunction

with the presence of other painful conditions, comorbid diseases, smoking, and poor sleep quality [106108].
One plausible risk factor for TMD is the presence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). A preliminary report suggested that around 75% of patients diagnosed with TMD have clinical characteristics suggestive of SDB, and this last contributes to the presence of sleep bruxism, a classically considered an etiologic factor for the devel­opment of TMD [109112].
In the OPPERA (Orofacial Pain: Prospective Evaluation and Risk Assessment) study, which followed subjects for 4–6years, the signs/symptoms of OSA were associated with a higher risk of incidence of TMD.This large-scale prospective cohort study, a multicenter study, followed adults age 18–44years at enrollment for
2.8years. The goal was to identify the incidence of rst-onset TMD and potential risk factors for TMD development. Initially, TMD-free adults with two or more signs/symptoms of OSA had a 73% greater incidence of rst-onset TMD, in relative terms, than adults with fewer signs/symptoms independently of confounding demo­graphic, autonomic, and behavioral characteristics [113, 114]. OPPERA subjects at risk for OSA had 1.7 times TMD incidence over the median 2.8-year follow-up period, independently of demographic, autonomic, and behavioral characteristics [110, 113, 115, 116].
Although the ndings indicated a signicant overlap between the OSA and TMD, further studies are required to dene the nature of this relationship. Because both OSA and TMD are associated with several comorbidities, the association between OSA and TMD could be very complex [114].
We need consequently a large-scale cohort study that takes comorbidities into the analyses.
These OPPERA studies lack OSA diagnosis through PSG which limits the inter­pretation of the results [110].
A recent case-control study found a higher prevalence of TMD in subjects at high risk of OSA (30.7%) than with subjects at no risk of suffering OSA (18.5%). However, the study may be skewed as many participants were classied as having OSA by a sign or symptom questionnaire and may have milder forms of SDB such as upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) [110, 117].
Smith etal. demonstrated in their study that a great majority of their patients with TMD complaints were diagnosed with at least one sleep disorder through a PSG study. Insomnia (36%) and OSA (28.6%) showed the highest frequencies. Sleep bruxism was also a comorbid sleep disorder in this TMD sample, although the fre­quencies varied from 75% to 17%, dependent of the clinical vs. PSG criteria for the diagnosis of SB.Surprisingly about 43% of the sample were diagnosed with more than just one sleep disturbance [118].
Several mechanisms might be underlying the close relationship between OSA and TMD [119].
1. Disrupted or inadequate sleep in OSA patients might enhance pain sensitivity,
contributing to hyperalgesia, an important feature found in many TMD patients [120, 121].
