Assessing the efficiency of a Mandibular Advancement Device to treat obstructive Sleep Apnea using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition in which the patient repeatedly stops breathing during sleep due to the collapse of the upper airway. The upper airway collapse is caused by a relaxation of the upper airway muscles, combined with a decrease in intraluminal pressure and hence an increase in external pressure from the surrounding...
