Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by recurrent obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in episodic reductions in blood oxygen saturation and arousals from sleep. Mandibular repositioning appliances (MRAs) that are worn intra-orally at night, mechanically advance the mandible to assist maintain a patent oropharygeal airway and have been proven to be an effective various for steady constructive airway strain in the remedy of obstructive sleep apnea. Titratable MRAs are designed to gradually protrude the mandible applying a simple-to-use mechanical advancing mechanism, until a protrusive place with positive effect on sleep apnea is reached. Considering the relatively low-tech method of the essential advancement mechanism, the curiosity within the mechanistic component of the dental remedy of obstructive sleep apnea has increased. The present paper supplies an summary of the completely different titration protocols described within the recent literature along with a dialogue of both the clinical and mechanical elements of therapy. At present, a consensus exists that an optimum titration protocol is of primary importance to achieve a successful treatment outcome with an MRA. To date however, there isn't a consensus on how to define the optimal titration protocol.
