BASIC SLEEP PHYSIOLOGY
• Sleep is a complex series of events
• Balanced by neurotransmitters in the brain and brainstem
• Affected by light and daily natural rhythms

SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING
• Patients are tired all the time
–Key symptom-daytime sleepiness
• Patients are constantly awakened by pharyngeal collapse
• Prevalence and severity increase with age and weight

DEFINITIONS
• A sleep-related breathing disorder
– A complete stop in airflow despite continuing efforts to breathe
• Decrease in airflow is a HYPOPNEA
• Stopping of airflow is an APNEA – This decrease or blockage needs to last 10 seconds or more
during sleep-REM
• Measurement of Oxygen Saturation

DEFINITIONS • Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS)-
frequent arousals in response to increased respiratory effort as a result of upper airway narrowing, without overt apnea or hypopnea.
• Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI)-the number of these obstructive or partially obstructive events per hour (aka Respiratory Distress Index-RDI)-normal is considered less than 10
• Oxygen Saturation-(SaO2) The level of O2 in the arterial blood (pulse oximetry)

WHO GETS OSAS?
• 12 million Americans have OSA
• Only about 2 million have been diagnosed – OSA with daytime sleepiness=OSA syndrome
• 4% of men and 2% of women
– OSA without daytime sleepiness • 24% of men and 9% of women
• 38% of all hypertensive patients
• 50% of obese men; 60-70% of diabetics
– 2% of children: Ages 2-8 most commonly associated with large ???

IDENTIFYING PATIENTS AT RISK
• Dentist is an important entry point for identification and treatment of OSA
• Sleep and Breathing 2007
• Visits to the dentist in a 12 month period – 65% of Adults 18-65
– 58% of Adults > 65 • JADA Jan 2010
• Not going to their medical providers
• Similar to hypertension in the 70’s and 80’s

DIAGNOSIS
• Always done with a sleep study
–Polysomnogram (PSG)
• Attended in a Lab
• Unattended at home
–Diagnosis must ALWAYS be done by a Physician based on the sleep study
• Normal sleep environment
• “Worst case Scenario”

– Sharp areas on appliance
– Bulkiness of the appliance
• Treatment: – Check current medications-add oral moisturizer

TONGUE PAIN
• May be due to sharp edges of appliance
– Smooth and polish appliance
• May be due to RMMA and tongue is getting bitten in the process
– Change or tighten elastics
– Consider changing the appliance design
– Consider Material Allergy
![Page 122: INCORPORATING SLEEP APNEA APPLIANCES INTO YOUR …€¦ · The relationship between systemic hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea: facts and theory. American J of Med, 1995 •](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053016/5f19fec08f126f01313dda3b/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
MATERIAL
• Rare
• Resolve other problems
• Can become evident at any time during OAT therapy
– Consider changing appliance
– Can do allergy testing
![Page 123: INCORPORATING SLEEP APNEA APPLIANCES INTO YOUR …€¦ · The relationship between systemic hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea: facts and theory. American J of Med, 1995 •](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053016/5f19fec08f126f01313dda3b/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
GAGGING
• Need to check before making appliance
• TREATMENT:
– Make the appliance smaller
• Check for impingement on tongue space/palate
– Have the patient use small amount of OTC benzocaine before placement
– Start slow using appliance for a short time at first gradually increasing amount of use

OCCLUSAL CHANGES • INFORMED CONSENT • Common • Can occur at any time
– Initially – Treatment duration
• Patient has to try to return to normal occlusion during the day – Put patient on daytime re-alignment exercises – Treat as soon as possible
• Side effect of open posterior occlusion is usually not as great of a concern to the patient if they are sleeping better and feel rested during the day
![Page 125: INCORPORATING SLEEP APNEA APPLIANCES INTO YOUR …€¦ · The relationship between systemic hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea: facts and theory. American J of Med, 1995 •](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053016/5f19fec08f126f01313dda3b/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)

CHANGES IN OCCLUSION GROWTH
• Late mandibular growth in late teens early 20’s
• Patient becomes a Class III or Mild Class III
• Recommend not managing with OG Surgery or Orthodontics unless patient insists. Growth may have occurred because of airway.

Changes in Occlusion
-Changes in occlusion are possible. -Patients do not seem to be upset if their occlusion is slightly different. -These devices violate the principles of occlusion. -This rationale is based on the goal of this therapy and the risk vs. benefit ratio.

Minimize The Changes In Occlusion
AM exercises Recognize changes ASAP Make changes in appliance design
Decrease the amount of vertical opening Decrease the amount of mandibular protrusion Decrease the time of appliance use
Reasons for changes in occlusion: Compression/rehydration of the disc tissue Mandibular growth Changes in the disc position Others

OPEN CONTACTS • Check contacts at your initial exam and chart
accordingly • Can occur at any time during treatment
• Sometimes they were present before treatment and patient only notices them after onset of treatment
• TREATMENT: – Check appliance to see if forces are causing teeth to
shift – Check for any teeth not embedded in acrylic to allow
micro movements – Can have patient wear retainer to close contacts
during the day for awhile
![Page 132: INCORPORATING SLEEP APNEA APPLIANCES INTO YOUR …€¦ · The relationship between systemic hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea: facts and theory. American J of Med, 1995 •](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053016/5f19fec08f126f01313dda3b/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)

EXPECTATIONS
• Unlikely/unrealistic expectations
• TREATMENT:
– Patient education
