S2E40 - Mandibular Advancement Devices for Sleep Apnoea
Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!
While CPAP is the gold standard, Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) are a high-yield alternative with NHMRC Level 1 evidence for mild-to-moderate OSA. This episode breaks down how these devices maintain airway patency by holding the mandible forward. Learn to identify ideal candidates—like those with a receding jaw—and navigate the types of devices, from "boil and bite" to cost-effective semi-tailored options. We cover critical safety checks, including screening for poor dental structure and TMJ pain, to ensure you deliver a professional, evidence-based management plan.

Pro Tip: In the OSCE, if a patient is struggling with CPAP, don't just say "try a mouthguard." Specifically mention a "Mandibular Advancement Device" and its NHMRC Level 1 evidence. Demonstrate safety by checking their dental status and TMJ history before recommending one. Mentioning that semi-tailored devices are a cost-effective first step shows the examiner you understand practical Australian GP management!
