Obstructive Sleep Apnea Management: An Overview of the Literature.
PURPOSE: Different approaches have been proposed to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This article reviews a synopsis of the available literature regarding the management of OSA.
METHODS: A comprehensive review of the literature on the management of OSA began with a search of English-language peer-reviewed manuscripts using PubMed and MEDLINE. The focus was on clinical research articles published between 1996 and 2016. A search of relevant dental journals was also completed.
RESULTS: OSA can be managed through behavior management, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral appliances, and other therapies. Clinicians may select treatment modalities based on the severity of clinical presentation and the patient's symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Studies showed an enhancement in the quality of life in many patients who have been treated with oral appliances, and patients in general prefer oral appliances over CPAP therapy or any other treatments for OSA because of its convenience.
