?:definition
  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)/anti-snoring occlusal splints designed for placing inside the mouth for use while a patient sleeps. These devices help avoid inspiratory noise produced by the vibration of the pharyngeal soft tissues (i.e., snoring) by advancing and holding the tongue forward. These splints usually consist of prefabricated plastic devices that have been fitted around the teeth. This stops the tongue from falling back and thus avoids the obstruction that results in snoring or obstructive sleep apnea. Dedicated occlusal splints that use suction to hold the tongue in place are also available; they are usually positioned in dental offices.
