Ya teníamos un poco de tiempo sin tratar algo sobre apnea, hoy traemos un artículo llamado “Rol del Ortodoncista en ronquidos y apnea obstructiva” . Este documento describe los Dispositivos de Avance Mandibular (DAM) como tratamiento del Síndrome Apnea-Hipoapnea Obstructiva del Sueño, las consideraciones anatómicas, estudios sobre su efectividad y control de su eficiencia.
Se clasifican y detalla su mecanismo de acción, criterios de elección y sus efectos secundarios. La investigación presenta 2 casos clínicos que utilizaron un DAM durante un mes, donde previo y posterior al uso de este aparato se midió el Índice Apnea e Hipoapnea, ronquidos y saturación de oxígeno con el Apnealink. No les arruino los resultados, aquí va el link.
After reading the article, I can say that, the different apparatus help the patient but, they need to use in combination the CPAP. Also I want to comment, that it is not necessary that the patient be a Class II, in order to snor or have apnea, I have seen several patients Class I with the same problem. I recomend the night guard in combination with the CPAP.
Hi Alfonso, with all due respect, this forum is in spanish and I believe you do speak spanish as I do as well. It will be of great help for everyone else to talk and discuss this subject in spanish, therefore it would be easier for some of our colleagues to understand your opinion.
SNORE, RECOMMEND
Kind regards
Hello my fellows readers, I guess a lot of people here can speak and read in english, nevertheless, the spanish is such a beautiful language. If you want to write in english, be my guest, but probably many others won’t care about your comment. Thanks for visit Orthohacker
