Abstract

Between December 1996 and June 2001 at Yamaguchi University Hospital overnight polysomnography (PSG) was conducted on 167 patients with snoring and sleep apnea. We treated obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients with uvulo-palate-pharyngoplasty (UPPP), and/or nasal surgery, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nasal-CPAP), and prosthetic dental devices. We studied the effects of surgery and dental device use by follow-up PSG. Nasal-CPAP therapy was done for lower subsequent compliance. We discuss results with reference to the literature.
