A study was performed on 19 types of oral appliances for snoring/obstructive sleep apnea. The appliances were categorized into two groups, mandibular advancers and tongue advancers. A set of limited criteria was developed by which an appliance could be evaluated, and the criteria were weighted. Evaluations were then performed on the appliances, and they were rated according to satisfaction of criteria. The rating table should help a dentist in selecting an appliance that will be accepted by the patient and effective in treating snoring/obstructive sleep apnea.
对19种用于治疗打鼾/阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的口腔矫治器进行了一项研究。这些矫治器被分为两组，下颌前移器和舌前移器。制定了一套有限的标准来评估矫治器，并对这些标准进行了加权。然后对矫治器进行评估，并根据标准的满足程度进行评分。该评分表应有助于牙医选择一种能被患者接受并有效治疗打鼾/阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的矫治器。
