BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In the literature, no studies correlate the effects of mandibular advancement devices (MADs) with different titration systems to periodontitis. Through a finite element analysis (FEA), this study investigates the effects generated on periodontal ligaments (PDLs) and teeth by four commercial MADs in periodontal health and with 15% bone resorption.
METHODS: Four MADs (Somnodent Flex™, Somnodent Avant™, Orthoapnea™, and Herbst™) were digitalised starting from the impressions of a patient's dental arches. A force of 11.18 N, representing an advancement of 9.5 mm, was applied, and a FEA was subsequently performed. After measuring the stresses and displacements on the PDLs and teeth in healthy periodontal conditions, the vertical dimension of the alveolar bone was reduced by 15%, and measurements were repeated.
RESULTS: In terms of PDL stress, Herbst™ is the device which guarantees a more uniform increment in case of the first stage of periodontitis (+7% for mandibular and maxillary PDLs compared to the healthy condition). For Somnodent™ devices, the PDLs stress increment is almost null for mandibular PDLs but much higher than Herbst™ for maxillary PDLs (+17% and +21% for Flex™ and Avant™). Orthoapnea™ determines a PDL stress augmentation between the other devices (+16% and +7%, respectively, for maxillary and mandibular PDLs). Concerning teeth movement, Herbst™ and Orthoapnea™ determine a lower and more uniform displacement than Somnodent devices.
CONCLUSIONS: The stress distribution and teeth displacement are strictly related to MAD geometry. Since its minor effects on teeth and PDLs, the Herbst™ could be more appropriate in patients with periodontitis.
