入选标准

  • Subjects must provide written informed consent to participate in the study.
  • Adult male or female subjects over 18 years of age who have or have not been diagnosed with OSA.
  • Subjects claiming no history of OSA should take the Epworth questionnaire and obtain a result less than
  • Subjects must satisfy the study investigator about their fitness to participate in the study.
  • Subjects must be available to complete the study.

结局指标

主要结局

To measure the impact of different horizontal mandibular advancements, achieved through a stepped mouthpiece design, on the size of the upper airways in subjects with and without Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

时间窗: one 60 minute session

次要结局

  • Assessment of the habitual mandibular position in (edge-to-edge, millimetres) relation to the front upper teeth(one 60 minute session)
  • Measurement of the upper airways through acoustic pharyngometry during slow and deep breathing while the subject uses a stepped mouthpiece. The acoustic pharyngometry measurement will be performed at mid inhalation(one 60 minute session)
  • Assessment of the most comfortable position when using the stepped mouthpiece during both "tidal" and "slow and deep breathing". The scoring of the "comfortable position" will be performed through a Likert-style questionnaire(one 60 minute session)
  • The most "comfortable position" established as outlined above will be evaluated for comfort while holding that position for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes, the subject's level of comfort will be re-evaluated through a Likert-style questionnaire(one 60 minute session)
