Abstract
This article describes clinical and laboratory techniques for the fabrication of a sleep apnea prosthesis for a dentate patient. The treatment objective is to posture the mandible at an increased vertical and protrusive position to diminish or eliminate the collapse of the base of tongue into the oropharynx. During fabrication of the prosthesis, cephalograms are used to evaluate spatial change between the base of the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall.
