TMD and SDB: arthritic changes in the TMJ create the anatomic correlates that are risk factors for SDB
Temporomandibular Disorders
TMD and Sleep Disorders: Increase in OSA and insomnia in patients with myofascial pain Smith, MT, et al., SLEEP, 2009; 32(6): 779-790 a significant but mild increase in stage N1 sleep • mild but significant elevations in RERAs and arousals • associated with all types of respiratory events TMD patients with pain on the night of PSG had lower sleep • efficiency, more frequent awakenings and higher RERAs Dubrovsky, B, Raphael, K, LeVigne, G, et al., JCSM, 2014; 10(2):195-201

Sc Screening g the Pa Patient for Oral Appl Or Appliance Therapy py why do they why do they work? fail? • uncomfortable to wear • restorative sleep (jaw feels worse) • jaw feels better • bite changes • no more snoring • it didn’t work
what does an oral appliance do? 1. opens the vertical dimension of occlusion 2. advances the mandible
Good Candidates: anatomic factors The effects of an oral appliance on the airway
dilation of the upper pharyngeal airway reducing airway collapse
History includes: • Sleep history • medical history • jaw pain, jaw noises • neck pain, headache
Can you stand to wear an appliance? • gagging • tooth sensitivity • muscle pain • joint pain
Generally (but not universally) More Success With: • Younger • Lower BMI, smaller neck circumference • Mild-moderate OSA • Supine predominant • Retrognathic, lower hyoid position • Decent nasal airway Sutherland, K, et al., JCSM (2014);10;215-227 Zeng, B, et al. , SLEEP (2008);31;543-547
Exam • Muscle tenderness • Mandibular range and quality of motion • Joint findings: DJD? Disc disorder? • soft tissues, tongue size, pharyngeal space • response to mandibular repositioning (George Gauge)
subjective testing of the airway: The George Gauge • subjective sense of airway improved • snore sound diminished or eliminated • lip seal preserved • minimal mandibular advancement
The TMJ: Not necessarily a contraindication for OAT
the TMD patient and OAT • need a good range of motion • joint noises- crepitus? click? • test joint loading for capsule inflammation • radiographs • start with vertical change, slowly advance to efficacy
evaluate dentition • number of teeth • periodontal disease • tooth decay • existing restorations • occlusion
The Edentulous Patient: maintain or increase vertical dimension • wear their denture at night • fabricate an appliance to go over their denture • fabricate an appliance for night time wear- open the vertical, slightly advance the mandible, anterior space for the tongue

Preventing bite changes: allow mandibular mobility with OA design • address bite changes right away • bite changes should last no more than a few • hours in the morning jaw massage, “tongue-up” stretching • exercises at delivery fabricate a soft ‘repositioner’ to bite • on
Nasal Airway Resistance For best results, evaluate and treat the patient for: • alar rim collapse • allergies, rhinitis • large turbinates • deviated septum • mouth breathing • etc. Zeng, B, et al. , SLEEP (2008);31;543-547
