Abstract
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are disorders caused by atony of the upper airway dilator muscles leading to airway narrowing during sleep and affect approximately 47% of the population. Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are widely recognized as an effective therapeutic option, consistently associated with higher patient satisfaction and accepted as a primary treatment alternative . However, information on digital workflows to produce MAD with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology using a virtual articulator is lacking. The purpose of this report is to present a technique to design and mill MADs from intraoral scans using a user-friendly software of an integrated CAD-CAM system with virtual articulator.
期刊介绍：
This journal explores the myriad innovations in the emerging field of computerized dentistry and how to integrate them into clinical practice. The bulk of the journal is devoted to the science of computer-assisted dentistry, with research articles and clinical reports on all aspects of computer-based diagnostic and therapeutic applications, with special emphasis placed on CAD/CAM and image-processing systems. Articles also address the use of computer-based communication to support patient care, assess the quality of care, and enhance clinical decision making. The journal is presented in a bilingual format, with each issue offering three types of articles: science-based, application-based, and national society reports.
