Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common types of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and is associated with cardiovascular disease and neuropsychiatric disorders. For simple snoring and mild to moderate OSA, oral appliance (OA) therapy is often as effective as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and is a good indication. Dental titration is one of the most important dental techniques for the treatment of OA in SDB.
