Comparison of a Retention Type and Propulsion Type Oral Appliance in the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Monocentric comparative group study comparing the efficacy and short-term tolerance of a propulsion type oral appliance (Herbst) with a retention type device (ORM) used in the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome. The investigators hypothesized both appliances would be equally effective and tolerated.
