Cover Story: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of customized mandibular advancement device (MAD) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Eight patients with a diagnosis of OSA confirmed by polysomnography (PSG) were recruited. All were treated with the new NOA® MAD by OrthoApnea (NOA®); PSG with NOA® in situ was performed (T1). The parameters were calculated at T0 and T1: AHI, supine AHI, oxygen desaturation index (ODI), percentage of recording time spent with oxygen saturation <90% (SpO2 < 90%), and mean oxygen desaturation (MeanSpO2%). The baseline values were AHI = 21.33 ± 14.79, supine AHI = 35.64 ± 12.80, ODI = 17.51 ± 13.5, SpO2 < 90% = 7.82 ± 17.08, and MeanSpO2% = 93.45 ± 1.86. After treatment with NOA®, statistically improvements in AHI and supine AHI were recorded. View this paper
