A case study involving the combination treatment of an oral appliance and auto-titrating CPAP unit.
Treating severe obstructive sleep apnea can be a challenge. In this case it necessitated combining treatments to obtain the desired result. Now that oral appliances are a viable treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, they can be combined with continuous positive airway pressure or surgery to give the physician and patient more options.
