An Investigation of Upper Airway Changes Associated With Mandibular Advancement Device Using Sleep Videofluoroscopy in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Archives of Otolaryngology, 09/24/09
Lee CH et al. – Sleep videofluoroscopy showed dynamic upper airway changes in patients with OSA, and the MAD exerted multiple effects on the size and configuration of the airway. Sleep videofluoroscopy demonstrated the mechanism of action of the MAD in patients with OSA. The MAD increased the retropalatal and retrolingual spaces and decreased the length of the soft palate and the angle of mouth opening, resulting in improvement of OSA.
