Utilizing a fully digital clinical workflow for oral appliance therapy with an auto-titrating mandibular positioner (AMP): a feasibility study

Introduction: It is estimated that in the US alone, the number of patients on oral appliance therapy (OAT) will be over one million by 2023. To keep up with the rising demand, more efficient and precise workflow models are required to minimize inaccuracies and costs associated with delivery of care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a novel, fully digital workflow model, utilizing intra-oral digital scanning and CAD/CAM device manufacturing, in combination with an AMP for patient selection and effective target protrusion (ETP) prediction to minimize inefficiencies and improve quality of care.
