Objective: Oral appliances are one of the treatments of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. The main objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of the Somnodent® oral appliance on Apnea-Hypopnea Index. The secondary objective was to measure the efficacy on other oxymetric parameters and to determine its tolerance and dropout rate. Methods: Efficacy results of the oral appliances based on the apnea hypopnea index, the oxygen desaturation index and the lower oxygen saturation reduction, appliance complications and dropout rates were retrospectively collected from 25 patients with a moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome treated by a Somnodent® oral appliance. The procedure was entirely performed by otolaryngologists. Results: The AHI with OA was more significantly reduced in patients with a higher initial apnea hypopnea index and a higher initial body mass index but reduction was not related to age and not proportional to degree of mandibular advancement. The 50%-AHI reduction rate after OA was 55.6%, the AHI ≤5/h rate after OA was 22.2%. The OA significantly reduced the mean apnea-hypopnea index (-14.3/h, p<10-5). No patient had his AHI increased with oral appliance. One patient stopped using OA mainly because of nausea. Conclusions: Somnodent® is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.
