A systematic review based on the PRISMA checklist was carried out. A detailed electronic database search was conducted using "Obstructive sleep apnea" AND "Oral appliance" AND "Dentistry" as keywords.Results:
The initial search in the electronic databases resulted in a total of 262 papers. After the title and abstract analysis and full-text review, the number of eligible papers was reduced to 15.Conclusion:
The mandibular advancement device is an effective treatment, improving the Apnea Hypopnea Index and the symptoms of patients with OSA in 92% of the subjects from all the investigated studies. The future may include the integration of a biosensor for the diagnosis and follow-up.Abbreviations OSA Obstructive sleep apnea; MADs Mandibular advancement devices; CPAP Continuous positive airway pressure; OAT Oral appliance therapy; MRD Mandibular repositioning devices; MAS Mandibular advancement splints; MAA Mandibular advancement appliances; OA Oral appliances; AASM American Academy of Sleep Medicine; AHI Apnea-hypopnea index; EEG Sleep-related breathing disorder SRBD; Electroencephalogram; EOG Electrooculogram; ECG Electrocardiogram; QOL Quality of life; TMJ Temporomandibular joint.Palavras-chave
