| The first generation is represented by a single project: a clunky system with a tongue suppressor probe. Although large, expensive, and somewhat not portable (While the device could run on batteries, it’s size and the size of the probe made multi-tasking hard), the device proved the effectiveness of the neuro-elecro-stimulation procedure in alleviating symptoms. As the device gave promising results in proof-of principle clinical studies and did cause any local or systemic adverse effects, it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1988 (PMA No. P860067) | The first generation is represented by a single project: a clunky system with a tongue suppressor probe.

| Second-generation removable device consists of 3 components: a miniaturized electronic stimulator that has a signal generator, power source, and conducting circuitry; an intra-oral removable appliance; an infrared remote control. | Second-generation removable device consists of 3 components: a miniaturized electronic stimulator that has a signal generator, power source, and conducting circuitry; an intra-oral removable appliance; an infrared remote control. | ||
| The second most important aspect that the second generation improved upon is that now, the device can be worn non-invasively and controlled remotely through the day. | The second most important aspect that the second generation improved upon is that now, the device can be worn non-invasively and controlled remotely through the day. | ||

| The third generation takes the process of reducing size to an extreme, creating a device that is small enough to completely fit inside a tooth. This allows for for an implant-supported neuro-electrostimulating device that can be permanently applied into the oral cavity, screwed onto an osteo-integrated dental implant inserted in the third molar area. | The third generation takes the process of reducing size to an extreme, creating a device that is small enough to completely fit inside a tooth.

| Figure shows the implantation procedure and application of the device. Transmucosal exposure of mandibular bone (A) is followed by preparation of the implant bed in mandibular bone (B) and insertion of the dental root implant (C). The neuro-electrostimulating device is shown in its applicator (D) and mounted onto the root implant (E). A radiograph of the implant-supported device is shown (F). | Figure shows the implantation procedure and application of the device.
