Sleep Apnea Treatment Is Moving Toward Oral Appliances and Away From Surgery and CPAP.

Oral Appliances and dental sleep medicine are growing in popularity compared to CPAP. CPAP and oral appliances are now considered first line treatments of sleep apnea and surgery is a secondary therapy. Too many patients do not like use their CPAP machines on a regular basis.

GURNEE, IL, December 01, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- CPAP is the Gold Standard for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea however numerous controlled studies spanning several years show the majority of patients do not use their CPAP on a regular basis. Numerous studies have shown that only 23-45% of patients actually use their CPAP. Other studies have shown that even patients who use their CPAP average only 4-5 hours a night not the recommended 7 1/2 -8 hours a night. Studies with BiPAP, APAP, Ramping and the multitude of masks show that these improvements have minimal affect on patient compliance. The one factor that predicts success with CPAP is initial acceptance. Patients who like CPAP treatment immediately after diagnosis appear to be compliant in the long term.

Dental Sleep Medicine offers sleep apnea treatment with oral appliances that patients find a more comfortable alternative to CPAP. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has accepted oral appliances as a first line treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea and as an alternative treatment for severe apnea when patients do not tolerate CPAP. The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine has endorsed this position. The National Sleep Foundation has declared that oral appliances are a treatment "whose time has come".
