Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is characterized by the
partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways during
sleep, and is a chronic and progressive respiratory disorder.
The severity of the disease is assessed through various
questionnaires and a sleep test called polysomnography.
There are different treatment methods for obstructive sleep
apnea syndrome. Mandibular advancement devices are the
leading alternative to continuous positive airway pressure
therapy in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea
syndrome. These devices advance the lower jaw to widen
the upper airway during sleep. This case report, demonstrates
a two-piece system called Silensor®-sl (Erkodent, Cologne,
Germany) mandibular advancement device production for a
patient diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
dependent on the supine position. The effect of this device on
jaw position was examined using cephalometric analysis.
