| Abstrakt: | Objective : To compare outcomes for appliances manufactured utilizing the George Gauge™ Registration (GGR) and the Sibilant Phoneme Registration (SPR). It was hypothesized that there would be no difference in outcomes. Methods : This study is a retrospective analysis of two groups. Each group consisted of 20 oral appliances manufactured utilizing the GGR and 20 utilizing the SPR. Results : For the two-site data, no difference in outcomes was demonstrated ( p = .24). The SPR method required fewer calibrations ( p = 5.6 × 10 -3 ) and less jaw movement ( p = 3.33 × 10 -4 ). Both bite methods resulted in similarly variable post-AHI scores ( p = .52). For the eight-site data, no difference in outcomes was demonstrated ( p = .76). The SPR required less movement of the jaw ( p = 4.52 × 10 -5 ); however, outcome variance was larger for the SPR ( p = .036). Conclusion : The study null hypothesis of no difference in outcomes was supported.
