Abstract Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of two different mandibular advancement devices on the upper airway volume, polysomnographic parameters, and sleepiness scale scores in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and Temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Materials and methods Monoblock and twinblock mandibular advancement devices were applied to patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome for 3 months separated by a wash-out period of 2 weeks. Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD), Polysomnographic parameters and cone-beam computed tomography findings were recorded before and after the use of the mandibular advancement devices. A three-dimensional analysis of the airway was then performed. Results The use of the monoblock device significantly increased the upper airway volume compared with the use of the twinblock device (p = 0.032). The polysomnographic parameters similarly improved with the use of the twin-block and monoblock devices. The significant reduction in TMD symptoms was observed. Conclusion The use of the monoblock device increased the retropalatal airway volume. This volume increase may be attributed to the fact that the design of the monoblock device allows less mandibular movement than does that of the twinblock device. Indicates the potential benefits of MADS treatment in alleviating TMD-related issues. Clinical significance Monoblock MADs have improved effects on respiratory parameters and upper airway dimensions in patients with OSA and mild to moderate TMD. |
