Özet
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a sleep disorder with occurs in the upper airway during sleep and is characterized by recurrent collapses. The mandible advancement device (MAD) is a successful treatment option for patients with moderate and severe OSAS. This study examines the effectiveness of the MAD appliance in patients diagnosed with OSAS. Material and methods: The angle between A point, Nasion and Sella (ANB), angle between B point, Nasion and Sella (SNB) and lower respiratory tract changes in 20 cases diagnosed with OSAS and treated with MAD appliances were examined. The lateral cephalometric films of the patients before and after the appliance were evaluated by matching. The obtained data were statistically evaluated with the paired comparison t-test. Results: In the measurements made with lateral cephalometric imaging of patients with and without appliances, the SNB and posterior airway size (PAS) values increased while the ANB values decreased. No change was observed in the SNA values. Conclusion: According to lateral cephalometric imaging analysis, it can be said that MAD appliances are effective in the treatment of OSAS
