Abstract: | Background Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in dentate patients by using mandibular advancement splint (MAS), had been documented in detail. Nevertheless, studies about completely edentulous patients with OSA are sparse. Report This clinical report describes a clinical and laboratory method for producing a new functional splint combining a MAS and a tongue-retaining device with a custom-made tongue-tip housing and discusses the rationale for using such a device. |
