A Novel Mandibular Advancement Device for Treatment of Sleep-Disordered Breathing: Evaluation of Its Biomechanical Effects Using Finite Element Analysis
Stress or pressure induced by the use of a mandibular advancement device (MAD) to treat sleep-disordered breathing can cause side effects including occlusal changes, pain, and discomfort. In this paper, we describe and use finite element (FE) analysis to evaluate a novel MAD that can reduce the stre...
