silensor-sl - 1

Questionnaire: This questionnaire has been designed to determine the potential suitability of a Silensor-sl to reduce snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. It may be useful to have the patient discuss the questions with his or her partner. The questionnaire does not claim to be complete. Mostly the results shown can only be considered as tendency. Further steps for finding results are perhaps necessary. Your name: Your weight: Your address: Your size: BMI*: *body-mass-index: body weight divided by the square of the body size: body weight (kg) body size x body size (m) no sometimes often yes Do you feel stiffness in the area of the temporomandibular (jaw) joints? Do your facial muscles feel strained or tense in the morning? Do you grind or clench your teeth? If your dentist confirms these findings a Silensor-sl can be used. Do you also snore on the side? Do you snore every night? Do you snore noisily? Do you feel tired on waking up? Do you sleep fitfully, is your bed crumpled in the morning? Do you wake up with headache? Do you have problems concentrating for long periods? Does sleep suddenly overcome you during the day? Does your breathing stop (apneas) at any time during sleep? A Silensor-sl can only be used after successful therapy. Do you snore noisily with irregular interruptions? Presumably you only suffer from primary snoring without impairment of your health. The Silensor-sl can be fabricated in the normal bite situation. Presumably you suffer from a rhonchopathy or even of an obstructive sleep apnea. The Silensor-sl has to keep your lower jaw in an advanced position. Upon suspicion of a sleep apnea a specialist in sleep medicine has to be additionally consulted.

Snoring: Snoring When is the Silensor-sl suitable? Up to 40 % of the population in industrialized countries snore. The decreasing muscle tone during the sleep causes a narrowing of the upper respiratory tract. This narrowing accelerates the respiratory airflow, thereby various structures in the area of the upper respiratory tract start to vibrate and cause the snoring noise. So snoring is a mechanical process that can be counteracted mechanically. Here the dental therapy comes into action. Light or primary snoring do not have consequences on health whereas the rhonchopathy, the abnormal...
