Overview
Brief Summary
This was a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial that aimed to evaluate the efficacy of three treatments for obstructive sleep Apnea OSA:
- Conventionally constructed mandibular advancement device (MAD).
- Digitally constructed mandibular advancement device (CAD CAM).
- Uvulopalatopharyngeoplasty (UPPP).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Apnea hypopnea index
Time Frame: 4 months
The AHI measures an average number of apnea and hypopnea episodes that you experience per hour. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) it is categorized into mild (5-15 events/hour), moderate (15-30 events/hr), and severe (\> 30 events/hr)
Epwoth sleeplness scale (ESS)
Time Frame: 4 months
The ESS is a subjective measure of a patient's sleepiness. The test is a list of eight situations in which the patien rates their tendency to become sleepy on a scale of 0, no chance of dozing, to 3, high chance of dozing. All scores on the ESS fall between 0 and 24. Scores from 0 to 10 reflect normal levels of daytime sleepiness, and scores over 10 are considered to reflect excessive daytime sleepiness.
Oxygen saturation
Time Frame: 4 months
This will be measured using an oximeter. A normal level of oxygen is usually 95% or higher.
Snoring index
Time Frame: 4 months
Snoring index measures the total number of snores per hour of sleep. This is calculated by dividing your total sleeping time by your snoring frequency. The normal range depends on the person's gender and the stage of sleep
