In-home mandibular repositioning during sleep using MATRx plus predicts outcome and efficacious positioning for oral appliance treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Oral appliance therapy is not commonly used to treat obstructive sleep apnea due to inconsistent efficacy and lack of established configuration procedures. Both problems may be overcome by information gathered while repositioning the mandible during sleep. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if an unattended sleep study with a mandibular positioner can predict therapeutic success and efficacious mandibular position, assess the contribution of artificial intelligence analytics to such a system, and evaluate symptom resolution using an objective titration approach.

Methods

Fifty-eight individuals with obstructive sleep apnea underwent an unattended sleep study with an auto-adjusting mandibular positioner followed by fitting of a custom oral appl
