Clinical approach for the patients with sleep apnea syndrome in our clinic

Abstract

Recently, dental approach for the patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is noticed, and we have been fabricating the anterior mandibular positioning device since 2000. In this study, we reported the details on fifty OSAS outpatients (37 males and 13 females) who requested the dental device, and also reported the flow of the treatment in our clinic. It was understood that the most of the patients had the slight and medium-class level disorders from the results of the polysomnographic study and Epworth’s sleepiness score.
