December 2021
Background: The impact of a complete denture on obstructive sleep apnea is not well understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between nighttime use of complete dentures and obstructive sleep apnea and determine if wearing a complete denture during sleep changes the degree of obstructive sleep apnea.
Methods: This systematic review followed the notification items for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and was recorded in the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under number CRD42020183167.
