Superimposition of Intra-oral Scans in MAD Therapy for OSA

Sponsor: Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) affects quality of life and health. Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) can help with OSA but may cause dental and jaw changes. This study uses a new 3D scanning method to track these changes and compare two adjustment methods for MAD to find the best approach for patients. Goals: 1. To track dental and jaw changes in OSA patients using 3D scans. 2. To assess the impact of MAD on quality of life and cognitive function. Study Details: The aim of the study is to follow OSA patients at multiple centers over several years, comparing two MAD adjustment methods. Participants will undergo routine fitting and imaging. Outcome: The study aims to reduce dental and jaw changes and to improve MAD treatment and patient outcomes.

Mandibular Advancement Device

MADs are custom-fitted oral appliances designed to reposition the mandible (lower jaw) forward during sleep, which helps to keep the airway open by preventing upper airway collapse.
