CPAP ( Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) versus Oral Appliance Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Ap
This fascinating study that was done at three research facilities in Australia. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD), or Oral Appliances are commonly used to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). 126 patients with moderate to severe OSA where treated with CPAP for one month and then where switched over to an Oral Appliance for one month and visa-versa.
