Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a significant life-threatening, yet an under-treated chronic disease. While it is traditionally treated by Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) devices, their low compliance rate (50 % non-compliance after 6 months1 ) has paved the way for treatment alternatives such as oral sleep appliances. These small and practical devices can be used for snoring and mild to moderate OSA. They can also be used for severeĀ Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) when patients are non-compliant with CPAP.
Thanks to digital impressions, sleep appliance treatments have never been so easy andĀ comfortable. With Primescan and Omnicam you get outstanding and reliable scan dataĀ to create custom-made sleep devices for your patients.

Panthera Dentalās CAD/CAM and 3D printed Digital Sleep Apnea Device (D-SAD) isĀ made out of 100% medical grade biocompatible nylon. This cutting-edge material is light, smooth, strong yet flexible, very durable and resistant to bruxism. A wide range of plateaus and bands are available and allow for over 300 standard design combinations as well as maximized tongue space. Additional customization is possible, and the D-SAD can be adapted to every possible patient morphology, from basic to the most complex.
An MAD is an oral appliance that protrudes the lower jaw in a forward position to open the airway and prevent it from becoming obstructed during sleep. It is designed to aid in opening up the space behind the tongue and increase the tension of relaxed soft tissues to help reduce snoring and decrease the number of sleep apnea events that may disturb the physiological sleep cycle.
