Author(s): Karen Parker Davidson*
Objective: Nocturnal Enuresis (NE) frequently occurs in children with Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). Many options to
address SDB and NE are available to include pharmaceuticals and surgery. This retrospective study examines the relationship
between NE and dentofacial anomalies modified or remodeled by intervention with a pre-formed Mono-block Oral Appliance
(MOA).
Methods: In a retrospective study using secondary data from a third-party source, 107 questionnaire scores of children ages
5-12 were reviewed. The secondary data score sources included a sleep, breathing and habit questionnaire; kids intake form;
pediatric sleep questionnaire; head and neck exam; child home observation sheet and patient profile. The primary endpoints
for the study were the number of days between the start date of MOA therapy and the resolve date.. View More»
