ABSTRACT
6 OSAS patients wore the appliance. Polysomnographic monitoring and cephalometric analysis were performed before and after treatment to analyze the effect of the appliance. With the appliance on after one month, the patients felt better. The values of AHI decreased significantly(P<0.01), and the lowest SaO_2 increased significantly(P<0.01).Cephalometric analysis showed a widened airway(P<0.05)after treatment. The results showed that TMJ appliance is an easy and effective treatment of OSAS.
