Finite element analysis of TMJ disc and PDL stress in mandibular advancement device therapy for OSA.

Researchers used computer modelling to examine how different mandibular advancement device settings affect stress on the jaw joint disc and tooth ligaments during sleep apnoea treatment, identifying that moderate advancement (50–60%) with 4–5mm vertical opening may reduce stress on both structures.
