About this study
The purpose of the study is to test the workflow of an auto-titrating mandibular positioner in its intended setting. Participants with obstructive sleep apnea will use the device to determine their eligibility for oral appliance therapy and provide feedback on usability of the device.
Read the detailed description
One treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is oral appliance therapy during sleep, in which an appliance that covers the upper and lower teeth acts to pull the lower jaw forward, opening the throat passage and allowing for normal breathing. However, oral appliance therapy does not treat sleep apnea effectively in all individuals. In order to identify those individuals for whom oral appliance therapy will work, the study sponsor has developed an investigational device called an auto-titrating mandibular positioner.
The device automatically pulls the lower jaw forward in response to respiratory events while the individual sleeps. Study participants will learn the outcome of their sleep tests and will provide feedback on the ease of use of the device.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Auto-titrating mandibular positioner testDevice
Participants will undergo a theragnostic test using the auto-titrating mandibular positioner to determine if they are eligible candidates to use oral appliance therapy for their obstructive sleep apnea. The device works by moving the lower jaw forward in response to respiratory events while the participant sleeps. All participants will undergo the same test.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| AMP test group | Other | All individuals will undergo a test using the auto-titrating mandibular positioner. Receives: Device: Auto-titrating mandibular positioner test |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Integration of the device into the existing workflow of a dental sleep medicine practice
Data for this outcome are largely directed at the study staff, not study participants. Data collected for this outcome include: time required to evaluate eligibility for device use, time required to prepare device for use.
Measured: 6 months
Convenience/feasibility of carrying out a multi-night AMP study in the home
Participants will complete a questionnaire following their AMP tests to collect data on participants' opinion of the device (includes opinion of various device components, ease of use of the device).
Measured: 6 months
Feasibility of instructing the participant on the use of the AMP device at the practitioner's office
Data for this outcome are directed at study staff, not study participants. Data collected will include feedback on ease of training participants on device use. Participants will be asked if they felt they received adequate training from the study staff via a questionnaire.
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Time to therapy
Time to therapy will be evaluated by tracking the time from the first consultation at the dentist's office to the setting of the temporary appliance (for individuals whose tests indicate they are predicted candidates for oral appliance therapy).
Measured: 6 months
Number of study visits
The number of study visits will be recorded. This data will be collected from study records and does not require input from the participant.
Measured: 6 months
Length of study visits
The length of each visit (minutes) will be recorded. This data will be collected from study records and does not require input from the participant.
Measured: 6 months
Ease of scheduling study visits
The ease of scheduling will be discussed with the study staff to collect data on ease of integration of the device into the practice.
Measured: 6 months
