2017, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsCitation Excerpt :In our study, mean oxygen saturation level improved from 87.97% ± 4.43% to 94.89% ± 1.54%. Similar improvements in oxygen saturation levels with oral appliances were reported by Bernhold and Bondemark,7 Bonham et al,20 Gavish et al,21 and Lowe et al.22 Lowe et al22 studied airway volume using computed tomography in patients with OSA, whereas Grauer et al,23 Haskell et al,24 Kim et al,25 El and Palomo,26,27 and Stratemann et al28 studied airway volume in normal subjects using CBCT.
