We conducted an evidence-based review of literature regarding
use of oral appliances (OAs) in the treatment of snoring and obstructive
sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) from 1995 until the present. Our structured search revealed 141 articles for systematic scrutiny, of which 87 were suitable for inclusion in the evidence base, including 15 Level I to II randomized controlled trials and 5 of these trials with placebo-controlled treatment.
