 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Application of laminated elastic appliances for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the elasticity of appliances for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and curative effects of the application. Methods 14 cases of this technology in clinical OSAS patients before and after treatment for monitoring and polysomnography cephalometric film films were measured, efficacy, and plastic appliance with mandibular advancement compared. Results of clinical application and comparison of observation, after wearing AI, AHI decreased significantly (P lt;0.01), SaO2 increased significantly (P lt;0.01), head Measurement of lateral view shows mandibular advancement, expansion of the upper airway space. Conclusion laminated flexible appliance is effective in treating OSAS, to eliminate or reduce snoring and apnea, improved blood oxygen saturation, and the production process is simple, fast, is a items should be widely applied technology. [Keywords:] Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; laminated flexible appliance Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrom, OSAS) is a patient there during the night sleep partial upper airway narrowing or obstruction, or by leaving air flow rate can not be reduced to the human body appears a lack of oxygen uptake series of pathophysiological changes of the disease. application of mandibular advancement oral appliance therapy class of OSAS due to security advantages of convenience, has become the clinical practice of oral medicine and research hotspot [1]. In this study, a transparent polymer material elastic mandibular advancement appliances for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), through the night before and after treatment of sleep monitoring multi-channel analysis and evaluation of the effect of this appliance, and with ordinary plastic mandibular advancement appliance for comparison. 1 Materials and Met
