Abstract

Objective: Reduced oxygen saturation (SaO₂ %) is a clinical sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), It is regarded as one of the medical problems. The study's goal was to investigate the connection between oxygen saturation, body mass index (BMI), and using the Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) to manage people with obstructive sleep apnea.

Materials and Methods: From the outpatient clinic of the Sleep Medicine Unit, Chest Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, twenty patients with obstructive sleep apnea were chosen. A mandibular advancement was utilized to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Using polysomnography, periodic oxygen saturation and body mass index monitoring were performed at the time of device insertion (T0) and six months later (T6). Data were statistically analyzed, and the significant difference was considered if P<.05.

Result: After the usage of mandibular advancement device for the management of OSA for six months, the oxygen saturation was statistically increased where P valuePvalue

Conclusions: Using a mandibular advancement device for the obstructive sleep apnea treatment was related to a promising result in terms of enhanced oxygen saturation and lowering of body mass index, and apnea/hypopnea index.
