Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the craniofacial changes of long term use of Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) treatment trough a systematic review of the literature. Materials and methods: A systematic review was performed assessing the following electronic databases: PubMed, EBSCOhost, The Cochrane Library and EMBASE,between January 2000 and May 2014, human studies and english language. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to the results. Selected articles were evaluated with the use of an international check list related to the type of the study (CONSORT). A classification of the level of evidence and the degree of recommendation were performed trough the SORT strategy. Results: 1383 articles were identified after the initial search. After applying the criteria selection and complete the check list selected (CONSORT) only 1 study fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A classification of the level of evidence and grade of recommendation were performed by using the SORT strategy to the selected article. Conclusions: No enough body of evidence were found in this study to identify the craniofacial changes with the long term use of Mandibular Advancement Devices for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by interruption of breath during sleep. OSAS is related to hypertension, type II diabetes and obesity. This disease has various implications on patient’s quality of life. The gold standard for OSAS treatment is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Due to the high level of patients that complain about CPAP therapy, mandibular advancement devices could play an important role in OSAS treatment. Objectives: The purpose of this review is to appraise scientific evidence concerning the effectiveness of Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) for OSAS treatment and look over MADs designs that are currently being used scanning for its efficacy. Data sources: Five databases will be accessed (SCOPUS, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct and Wiley Online Library) and 6 keywords will be combined. Study eligibility and criteria: This systematic review will only include study’s developed with humans diagnosed with OSAS and with more than eighteen years old. English is the only language accepted. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Studies assessment will be made by two authors (HCS and FM) and organized in three different parts: screen all articles; screen all abstracts, screen all full texts. In all phases articles that don’t have interest for this systematic review will be excluded. Two review authors (HCS and FM) will also assess the risk of bias and the quality of evidence, taking as a reference the Cochrane Collaboration’s Tool.
