The therapy with mandibular advancement devices (MADs) represents a treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The literature does not provide evidence regarding the most effective mandibular advancement; therefore, the aim of this systematic review with meta-regression was to investigate the effectiveness of different mandibular advancement amounts in reducing apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in OSA patients.

Abstract
The therapy with mandibular advancement devices (MADs) represents a treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The literature does not provide evidence regarding the most effective mandibular advancement; therefore, the aim of this systematic review with meta-regression was to investigate the effectiveness of different mandibular advancement amounts in reducing apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in OSA patients.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
