Abstract
The use of mandibular repositioning devices (MRDs) in the management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has gained extensive recognition with relevant clinical evidence of its effectiveness. MRDs are designed to advance and hold the mandible in a protrusive position to widen the upper airway and promote air circulation. This review of the MRD aims to provide an evidence-based update on the optimal design features of an MRD, an analysis of the variety of appliances available, and the current understanding of the action mechanism.

Abstract
There is now widespread recognition within the world of sleep medicine of the increasing importance of dental sleep medicine and, in particular, the role of oral appliance therapy (OAT) in the management of adults with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). For the purpose of this review, the term OAT refers to a custom-made intra-oral appliance, which acts to posture the mandible in a forward and downward direction, away from its natural resting position. Whilst nasally applied continuous positive airway pressure remains the "gold standard" in nonsurgical OSA management, OAT remains the recognised alternative treatment.This review of OAT aims to provide an evidence-based update on our current understanding of their mode of action, exploring the potential anatomical and physiological impact of their use in preventing collapse of the upper airway; the current clinical practice guidelines, including the recently published National Institute of Clinical Excellence 2021 guidance, in conjunction with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine; optimal design features, comparing the role of custom-made versus noncustom OAT devices and the importance of titration in achieving a dose-dependent effect; patient predictors, preference and adherence to OAT; its impact on a range of both patient- and clinician-centred health outcomes, with a comparison with CPAP; the limitations and side-effects of providing OAT; and, finally, a look at future considerations to help optimise the delivery and outcomes of OAT.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The variable efficacy of mandibular advancement device (MAD) treatment necessitates both accessible and accurate methods for patient selection. However, the role of awake nasopharyngoscopy for this purpose remains dubious. We introduced an assessment method based on anatomical upper airway features during tidal breathing for nasopharyngoscopy. The current study aimed to relate these features to MAD treatment outcome. METHODS One hundred patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea were prospectively recruited for MAD treatment in a fixed 75% degree of maximal protrusion. Nasopharyngoscopic observations during Müller's maneuver and tidal breathing were recorded both with and without MAD. Treatment outcome, confirmed by 3-month follow-up polysomnography with MAD, was classified as (1) apnea-hypopnea index reduction ≥ 50%, (2) treatment apnea-hypopnea index < 5 events/h, and (3) ≥ 10% increase in apnea-hypopnea index compared with baseline (treatment deterioration). RESULTS A complete dataset was obtained in 65 patients. After adjusting for baseline apnea-hypopnea index, body mass index, and supine dependency, the position of the soft palate (odds ratio, 4.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-11.8; P = .013) and crowding of the oropharynx (odds ratio, 7.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-41.4; P = .017) were related to treatment deterioration. Addition of both features significantly (P = .031) improved the accuracy of baseline models based on clinical measurements alone. Moreover, with the MAD in situ, a posteriorly located soft palate (odds ratio, 9.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-56.3; P = .010) and a posteriorly located tongue base (odds ratio, 7.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-35.9; P = .013) were associated with treatment deterioration. CONCLUSIONS Awake nasopharyngoscopy might be a valuable office-based examination to exclude the risk of treatment deterioration and improve patient selection for MAD treatment.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Traditionally, maxillomandibular advancement is an orthognathic surgical procedure that has been used to manage obstructive sleep apnea in patients not able or willing to maintain adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy or for patient who are not able to adhere to treatment. However, maxillomandibular advancement often leads to unsatisfactory cosmetic results.This prospective study investigated functional and esthetic outcomes using polysomnography and 3-dimensional computed tomography, after counterclockwise rotational orthognathic surgery. We enrolled 17 patients with obstructive sleep apnea, who underwent orthognathic surgery at single institution between March 2013 and December 2018.After 12 months, the patients' mean self-rated score for facial appearance, using a 10-step visual analog scale, was 7.36. The preoperative apnea-hypopnea index and respiratory disturbance index were 34.70 and 37.45, respectively; postoperative indices were 11.60 and to 12.69, respectively (P = 0.003, 0.003). The mean posterior pharyngeal airway space increased from 5357.88 mm3 preoperatively to 8481.94 mm3 after 6 postoperative months.Counterclockwise rotational orthognathic surgery for the correction of obstructive sleep apnea turned out to be the ideal solution not only in the correction of the sleep apnea, but also in the facial esthetics.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the presence of tendinous PMR could predict treatment outcome and how it affects lateral wall mechanical properties. Mandibular advancement increases the lateral dimensions of the nasopharyngeal airway via a direct connection from the airway to the ramus of the mandible. The anatomical structure in this region is the pterygomandibular raphe (PMR), but a tendinous component is not always present. Whether tendon presence influences treatment outcome is unknown. METHODS In total, 105 participants with obstructive sleep apnea completed detailed anatomical magnetic resonance imaging with and without mandibular advancement. The study design was case-control. Variables were compared between participants with and without the tendon present. RESULTS The amount of maximum mandibular advancement decreased when pterygomandibular tendon was present (4.0 ± 1.2 mm present versus 4.6 ± 1.4 mm absent, p = 0.04). PMR tendon-absent participants had a lower posttreatment apnea hypopnea index (16 ± 12 events/hour tendon present versus 9 ± 9 events/hour absent, p = 0.007) and were more likely to have complete response (63% versus 36%, p = 0.02). However, tendon-absent participants were more likely to not complete the study (χ 2 (3) = 10.578, p = 0.014). Tendon-absent participants had a greater increase in midline anteroposterior airway diameter (1.6 ± 1.7 mm versus 0.6 ± 2.3 mm, p = 0.04). CONCLUSION When PMR tendon is absent, treatment response and amount of maximum advancement improve, possibly at the expense of reduced splint tolerability. Tendon presence may help predict a group less likely to respond to mandibular advancement splint therapy.

Abstract
Purpose The main purpose of this work was to develop an efficient approach for segmentation of structures that are relevant for diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), namely pharynx, tongue, and soft palate, from mid-sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MR) data. This framework will be applied to big data acquired within an on-going epidemiological study from a general population. Methods A deep cascaded framework for subsequent segmentation of pharynx, tongue, and soft palate is presented. The pharyngeal structure was segmented first, since the airway was clearly visible in the T1-weighted sequence. Thereafter, it was used as an anatomical landmark for tongue location. Finally, the soft palate region was extracted using segmented tongue and pharynx structures and used as input for a deep network. In each segmentation step, a UNet-like architecture was applied. Results The result assessment was performed qualitatively by comparing the region boundaries obtained from the expert to the framework results and quantitatively using the standard Dice coefficient metric. Additionally, cross-validation was applied to ensure that the framework performance did not depend on the specific selection of the validation set. The average Dice coefficients on the test set were \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) induces upper airway occlusion and may cause sudden death during sleep. This study sought to clarify the relationship between oral air space volume and OSAS onset, which is influenced by multiple factors, such as jawbone, dentition morphology, and oral soft-tissue volume. METHODS (1) 50 subjects from deceased cases were divided into two groups: OSAS (25 subjects) and controls (25 subjects). (2) 28 subjects from clinical cases were divided into two groups: OSAS (9 subjects) and controls (19 subjects). In all cases, the Computed Tomography (CT) images of the facial region were obtained, and four parameters of oral area volume were analyzed in deceased and clinical cases, and comparisons and analyses were performed between OSAS and control cases. In addition, the efficiency of measurement of these parameters was evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves in OSAS. RESULTS (1) In deceased cases, oral soft-tissue volume (OSV), oral air-space volume (OAV), and the ratio of OAV to OSV (%air) showed a significant correlation. (2) In clinical cases, OAV and %air showed a significant correlation. In both postmortem and clinical images, a small %air value indicates a high risk of developing OSAS and a high probability of OSAS-related sudden death. CONCLUSIONS It was shown that the %air is an index to evaluate OSAS by CT imaging of the oral region. OSAS may be indicated when the %air value is ≦ 16.0% in deceased cases and ≦ 6.6% in clinical cases.

Abstract
Background Oral appliances (OAs) are generally designed to displace the mandible anteriorly and downward, to increase the airway patency. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between genioglossus (GG) muscle activity and mandibular position, considering both anterior and vertical displacements during sleep. Methods Seven healthy male adults aged 29.4 ± 1.99 years were evaluated. Maxillary and mandibular OAs were fabricated from 2-mm-thick resin plates with pressure-welding. The activity of the left GG was recorded using two silver ball electrodes attached to the lingual edge of the mandibular OA. Respiratory status and right masseter muscle activity were measured by an airflow sensor and surface electrodes, respectively. Electroencephalography was used to determine the sleep status. Stage 2 (the second stage of sleep) was defined as the state of sleeping. Four test conditions with different mandibular positions (0 and 50% anterior protrusion) and bite openings (4 mm and 12 mm) were examined. Results GG activity in SL4A (4 mm bite opening, 50% protrusion during sleep) and SL12 (12 mm bite opening, 0% protrusion during sleep) were significantly higher than that in SL4 (4 mm bite opening, 0% protrusion during sleep). Respiratory volume did not significantly differ between all test conditions. Conclusion GG activity is influenced not only by anterior protrusion of the mandible but also by vertical displacement during sleep. Thus, when determining the effectiveness of intraoral appliances in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, both protrusion and the size of the mandibular opening should be evaluated and taken into account.

Abstract
KEY POINTS •Some patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) respond well to oral appliance therapy, whereas others do not for reasons that are unclear. •In the present study, we used gold-standard measurements to demonstrate that patients with a posteriorly-located tongue (natural sleep endoscopy) exhibit a preferential improvement in collapsibility (lowered critical closing pressure) with oral appliances. •We also show that patients with both posteriorly-located tongue and less severe collapsibility (predicted responder phenotype) exhibit greater improvements in severity of obstructive sleep apnoea (i.e. reduction in event frequency by 83%, in contrast to 48% in predicted non-responders). •The present study suggests that the structure and severity of pharyngeal obstruction determine the phenotype of sleep apnoea patients who benefit maximally from oral appliance efficacy. ABSTRACT A major limitation to the administration of oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is that therapeutic responses remain unpredictable. In the present study, we tested the hypotheses that oral appliance therapy (i) reduces pharyngeal collapsibility preferentially in patients with posteriorly-located tongue and (ii) is most efficacious (reduction in apnoea-hypopnea index; AHI) in patients with a posteriorly-located tongue and less-severe baseline pharyngeal collapsibility. Twenty-five OSA patients underwent upper airway endoscopy during natural sleep to assess tongue position (type I: vallecula entirely visible; type II: vallecula obscured; type III: vallecula and glottis obscured), as well as obstruction as a result of other pharyngeal structures (e.g. epiglottis). Additional sleep studies with and without oral appliance were performed to measure collapsibility (critical closing pressure; Pcrit) and assess treatment efficacy. Overall, oral appliance therapy reduced Pcrit by 3.9 ± 2.4 cmH2 O (mean ± SD) and AHI by 69 ± 19%. Therapy lowered Pcrit by an additional 2.7 ± 0.9 cmH2 O in patients with posteriorly-located tongue (types II and III) compared to those without (type I) (P < 0.008). Posteriorly-located tongue (p = 0.03) and lower collapsibility (p = 0.04) at baseline were significant determinants of (greater-than-average) treatment efficacy. Predicted responders (type II and III and Pcrit < 1 cmH2 O) exhibited a greater reduction in the AHI (83 ± 9 vs. 48 ± 8% baseline, P < 0.001) and a lower treatment AHI (9 ± 6 vs. 32 ± 15 events h-1 , P < 0.001) than predicted non-responders. The site and severity of pharyngeal collapse combine to determine oral appliance efficacy. Specifically, patients with a posteriorly-located tongue plus less-severe collapsibility are the strongest candidates for oral appliance therapy.

Abstract
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder, and the most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Untreated OSA will cause lots of potential health problems. Oral appliance therapy is an effective and popular approach for OSA treatment, but making a perfect fit for each patient is time-consuming and decreases its efficiency considerably. This paper proposes a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) enabled sleep monitoring system in a smart oral appliance, which is capable of intelligently collecting the physiological data about tongue movement through the whole therapy. A tunneling sensor array with an ultra-high sensitivity is incorporated to accurately detect the subtle pressure from the tongue. When the device is placed on the wireless platform, the temporary stored data will be retrieved and wirelessly transmitted to personal computers and cloud storages. The battery will be recharged by harvesting external RF power from the platform. A compact prototype module, whose size is 4.5 × 2.5 × 0.9 cm³, is implemented and embedded inside the oral appliance to demonstrate the tongue movement detection in continuous time frames. The functions of this design are verified by the presented measurement results. This design aims to increase efficiency and make it a total solution for OSA treatment.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is clear the contemporary dentist is confronted with a blizzard of information regarding materials and techniques from journal articles, advertisements, newsletters, the internet, and continuing education events. While some of that information is sound and helpful, much of it is misleading at best. PURPOSE This review identifies and discusses the most important scientific findings regarding outcomes of dental treatment to assist the practitioner in making evidence-based choices. This review was conducted to assist the busy dentist in keeping abreast of the latest scientific information regarding the clinical practice of dentistry. MATERIAL AND METHODS Each of the authors, who are considered experts in their disciplines, was asked to peruse the scientific literature published in 2015 in their discipline and review the articles for important information that may have an impact on treatment decisions. Comments on experimental methodology, statistical evaluation, and overall validity of the conclusions are included in many of the reviews. RESULTS The reviews are not meant to stand alone but are intended to inform the interested reader about what has been discovered in the past year. The readers are then invited to go to the source if they wish more detail. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of the scientific literature published in 2015 is divided into 7 sections, dental materials, periodontics, prosthodontics, occlusion and temporomandibular disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, cariology, and implant dentistry.
