One of the conservative and successful modalities of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is the mandibular advancement prosthesis. This prosthesis engages teeth on both dental arches for retention and stability. This article describes a technique that allows that fabrication of such a prosthesis in one piece and in a single laboratory step. This may be beneficial in reducing the laboratory time required for fabrication of such a prosthesis.
