Abstract

Background

It has been asserted that the success rate of oral appliances was more satisfactory for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) than severe ones; besides, there is a lack of literature about mandibular advancement device (MAD) application for edentulous patients with OSA.

Report

This clinical case shows fabrication method and treatment efficacy of a modified MAD, which is aiming to displace bulky masseter muscles laterally, to provide more space for tongue on totally edentulous patient with severe OSA.
