What are the side effects of oral appliance therapy?
Cons of Sleep Apnea
Dental Appliances: Lower effective at treating severe obstructive sleep apnea.
May beget problems with the temporomandibular joint. Must be custom fitted. May
beget an excess of slaver (particularly lingo retaining bias).
Some side goods of OAT are common, causing
endless differences in dental occlusion and, less frequently, soft- towel or
TMJ pain, which may negatively affect long- term adherence with remedy.
Although guidelines live for long- term follow-up of all cases using OAT to
treat OSA — a lifelong complaint with age- related increase in inflexibility meager
information is available to guide clinicians on how to address side goods
related to OAT. The current literature is replete with descriptions of side
goods but is lacking in the explanation of causative factors and styles to
minimize these adverse goods. Many published data clarify what interventions
are most effective, and the recommendations offered are infrequently
substantiation driven. Available studies suggest that side goods may be related
to oral appliance design, accoutrements, and quantum of mandibular advancement,
and long- term studies describe a progressive increase in occlusal side goods
with ongoing use of OAT
Eventually an understanding of how the
operation of OAT side goods influences OAT adherence will insure that cases
with sleep-
disordered breathing are optimally treated. Further substantiation is
demanded to identify the most effective strategies for minimizing or precluding
the circumstance of untoward side goods. Issues of exploration that focuses on
these issues are anticipated to lead to variations of these recommendations in
the future.
