From Expertise to Adherence – How Industrial 3D printing enables Innovation in Sleep Medicine

19 Nov 2025

In sleep medicine, the biggest challenge isn’t just designing a device – it’s ensuring patients actually use it every night. Adherence is what turns therapy into lasting results.

In this session, Likhith Saliseema, Consultant at EOS GmbH, joins Dr. Jörg Schlieper, M.Sc. , an experienced dentist, and an Oral and maxillofacial surgeon from Hamburg 

with over 30 years in clinical practice, to share how his expertise and patented innovations were transformed into scalable medical solutions using additive manufacturing. With EOS technology, Dr. Schlieper was able to overcome the limitations of conventional production and design devices that maximize comfort, reproducibility, and affordability.

From improving bite registration at the very beginning of treatment, to developing the patented F-UPS® mandibular advancement device within the clinical “workflow by SleepLikeMe®”, Dr. Schlieper’s innovations are powered by EOS’s industrial 3D printing technology. 

The result: medical devices that patients actually want to wear, and that dentists can reliably deliver at scale.

This sessiown ill provide insights into:

  1. How industrial AM empowers specialists to translate expertise into accessible, patient-centered solutions
  2. Why patient adherence drives innovation in dental sleep medicine
  3. How innovative bite registration and fin-guided design improve comfort, fit, and therapeutic outcomes in dental sleep medicine
  4. Where traditional manufacturing and materials fall short
  5. How industrial AM enabled faster iterations from clinical idea to final product
