The goal of this chapter is to assess changes in upper airway volume and sleep characteristics in edentulous class II OSA patients treated with a mandibular advancement splint (MAS) constructed at various jaw locations.
Thirty-five
patients were chosen at random and divided into two groups based on inclusion
and exclusion criteria, Group I and Group II. All of the people demonstrated an
increase in pharyngeal volume at both degrees of mandibular advancement. AHI
values declined from 21.76 to 15.82 at 60 percent mandibular advancement and to
17.76 at 70 percent mandibular advancement. To determine the percentage change
in pharyngeal volume at various stages of mandibular advancement, the following
equation was created using regression analysis: Volume change as a percentage
(Y) = 0.347*X +57.55. Where the percentage change in volume is dependent (Y)
and the percentage change in mandibular advancement is independent (X).
