Current Perspectives in Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Mandibular Advancement Devices: A Narrative Review
This narrative review intends to provide a thorough analysis of the effectiveness, and comparison of the mono-block vs duo-block Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) and the potential side effects of these devices in managing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Mechanistic links between obstructive sleep apnea, cellular senescence and aging: The role of cardiometabolic dysfunction
While senescence plays roles in tissue repair, its accumulation also drives chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. The connection between OSA, senescence, and aging remains complex and underexplored. Mechanisms like the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), impaired immune surveillance, and reduced regenerative capacity may contribute to OSA-related morbidity.
Detection of sleep apnea using only inertial measurement unit signals from apple watch: a pilot-study with machine learning approach
This study presents a method for detecting sleep apnea using data from the Apple Watch’s inertial measurement unit (IMU).
Adenotonsillectomy vs Watchful Waiting in Pediatric Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Objective To investigate whether ATE is more effective than WW for treating otherwise healthy children with mild to moderate OSA. This randomized clinical trial (RCT) of young children investigated the benefit of ATE compared with watchful waiting (WW) after 3 years
Can the use of morning occlusal guides after oral sleep appliances cause root resorption similar to orthodontic jiggling?
Objective: To evaluate root length changes associated with the use of mandibular advancement devices (MADs) to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), in conjunction with morning occlusal guides.
Beyond the apnea-hypopnea index: symptomatic assessment as a treatment pathway for obstructive sleep apnea management
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition, with positive airway pressure (PAP) being the most studied and widely used treatment modality. While a variety of non-PAP therapies have been explored over the years, none have demonstrated the same efficacy in addressing the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as PAP therapy. PAP is capable of almost completely eliminating breathing events, regardless of the patient’s age, body mass index, endotypes, or comorbidities. How
Comparison of Three Mandibular Advancement Device Designs in the Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Retrospective Study
Study Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of three mandibular advancement device (MAD) designs in terms of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI),...

Sleep quality plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being. In recent years, researchers have been increasingly...
Weight reduction and the impact on apnea-hypopnea index: A systematic meta-analysis
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is strongly associated with obesity. While the relationship between weight reduction and apnea-hypopnea index
